If you want to learn poker, you can find some fine Poker players around the world to draw some  inspiration. The game is still predominantly played by men but that’s slowly changing with female players taking the lead and establishing themselves as tough competitors. Here are five of them who have managed to acquire a lot of success, something that clearly shows their agility and tenacity   
 


Vanessa Selbst
If you are a poker fan, you most likely know Vanessa Selbst. She managed to earn more than 10 million dollars from live tournaments. Career-high; $1.8m at the Partouche Poker Tour . She has also won at the North American Poker Tour and has two World Series of Poker bracelets. Selbst also has two World Poker Tour final tables to her name, and did exceedingly well at this year's PCA with two final table finishes, each worth more than $600,000. She also featured in the tutorials by PokerStars PSO which help you learn poker.
 

Kathy Liebert
Kathy Liebert is a veteran in the industry and won her first WSOP back in 1997. She joined the industry more than 20 years ago (which is longer than most people’s carriers), when people actually started to learn poker for professional use. She’s earned approximately 6 million dollars from live tournaments. Her career highlight being a whopping $1 million dollar prize from Party Poker Million in 2002. It’s safe to say that she has a massive number of winning poker hands in her repertoire. 


Annie Duke
Annie Duke earned $2 million dollars in 2004 from the WSOP No Limit Hold’Em Tournament of Champions, alone. She is also the only woman to have won NBC’s National Heads-up Poker Championship. Though she has refrained from entering any live tournaments in the recent times. For all we know she now makes her millions by playing free online poker.
 

Annette Obrestad
Annette Obrestad born in Norway, has had a prolific career as a professional poker player. She won more than $2 million at the inaugural WSOP Europe in 2007 when she was only a teenager. She has since proved that her win was no one time wonder with various wins including the European Poker Tour, the Aussie Millions and last year she finished in the top 100 at the World Series of Poker Main Event in Las Vegas.I think everyone would love to know what her Poker Strategy is.

 
Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso is by far the most consistent female professional poker player. She won a six figure amount in 2006, 2009 and 2011. Her career best being when she won over $700,000 dollars at the EPT Grand Final in Monaco in 2009.
