PokerStars and Poker Power return with Poker Women’s Bootcamp

Following the adjudged success of the last event， PokerStars and Poker Power will run its PokerStars x Poker Power Women’s Bootcamp this summer.

Rebecca McAdam Willetts， Director of Partnerships， PR and Consumer Engagement， said: "Working alongside our insights community， our ambassadors and key women and groups across the poker world， we are confident we can effect change with the many initiatives we have upcoming.

“We want to encourage more women to take their seat at the table， and in doing so， learn new skills that can also benefit them elsewhere in life.

“We want to create an accessible， safe and fun space for education and growth， where those new to the game can be vulnerable and open.”

The Bootcamp will consist of eight modules，Play Casino Online from negotiation to strategic decision-making.

A final table of women will also receive an all-expenses trap to EPT Cyprus this October to take part in the Showdown event， with the prizes including a special package to EPT Prague this December.

Erin Lydon， President of Poker Power， added: "PokerStars shares our passion and commitment for the future of women in poker， so we are thrilled to be returning with our joint Bootcamp this year.

“We are expanding the scope of the Bootcamp to reach more women， and we will not only teach them how to play No Limit Texas Hold'em， but also provide them with skills and strategies that can be applied to their daily lives.
