Time and again it has been proven that poker is a game of pure skill and is open to all who have the passion and dedication for the game. The inclusivity of the game is seen via the participation of people from all ages, genders, races, countries, and ethnicities. 

Although the world of poker has a comparatively fewer number of female players, the ones in the business are no way less talented compared to their male counterparts. The female poker pros have been consistently rubbing shoulders with the male pros and succeeding at the game.
