Ft. Lauderdale, FL (April 8, 2010) – The High Heels Poker Tour (HHPT) will be hosting the first ever hospitality suite devoted specifically to women’s poker during the WSOP Ladies week June 9th-11th. During the three days HHPT along with other female focused poker companies and organizations will be catering to the women who come to the WSOP; located in Brasila 5 at the RIO Hotel and Suites in Las Vegas. Women will be able to come and interact with the HHPTA Poker Pros, relax and enjoy refreshments, network with other players, and explore some of the corporations and organizations that cater to or are owned by women. Some of the organizations and corporations participating are; PMS PokerWear.com, PokerJetsetter.com, Card Player Cruises, Susie Isaacs books and products, Pink Ladies PT and others.

The hospitality suite will be open from 10am-10pm for the three days and is complimentary. It will be closed to the public on June 10th until 5pm when the HighHeelsPokerTour Academy will be offering their annual Ladies Academy in preparation for the $1,000 Ladies Event held the following day at the RIO.

This is the first time an organization has focused on the women who play poker during poker’s most prestigious event season. Women are the fastest growing poker demographic and are ready to be heard, seen, and respected as a force to be reckoned with in the poker community.

Poker is a game of decisions. Some decisions are very easy to make, while others will keep you awake all night if you choose poorly. In my experience, the larger the pot size, the harder the decision you’ll be faced with.

On the other hand, the smaller the pot is, the easier the decision. Which is why, especially in tournament play, you want to keep the pot small when you’re holding a marginal hand. You don’t want to be facing a decision for all of your chips in a situation where all you’ve got is something like top pair with a medium-strength kicker. You want to avoid that scenario as much as possible. It’s better to keep the pot small by checking and calling rather than building a huge pot, even if you do hold an advantage in that hand.

Let me give you an example from a hand I played at a World Series of Poker event last year. We were still fairly early in the tournament, and I was in the cut-off (the seat before the button) holding K-J. The action folded around to me, I put in a raise and was called by the button. Both blinds folded, and we were heads-up going to the flop.

The flop came J-9-3 with two diamonds. Yes, I had top pair with a strong kicker, but with straight and flush draws on the board I was in no mood to go crazy with my hand. So I checked, and the button bet about two-thirds of the pot.

A check could also tempt my opponent to bluff in this spot, especially if he put me on something like A-K or A-Q. With a bluff or a drawing hand being the button’s most likely holding, I made the call.

The turn was a harmless 5, not a diamond, and very unlikely to help out the button in any way. Once again, I decided to control the size of the pot and keep it small by checking. If I’d bet and the button had a monster draw, there’s a good chance he’d come over the top of my bet to try and push me off the pot. I liked my hand there, just not enough to go broke with it.

After I checked, the button put in another bet, which I called. The river was a non-diamond 2, meaning that neither the flush draw or the straight draw got there. Confident that I had the best hand at this point, I still decided to check the river.

Why? Well, there was a small chance the button had made a set or two pair somewhere along the way, and it’s better to check-call in that spot rather than face a tough decision for a lot of chips if he raises. Also, if he did have nothing but air, checking might induce a bluff on the river.

As it turned out, the button checked behind me and I took down the pot with my K-J. I didn’t win a big pot with that hand, but I also didn’t lose a huge pot. The decisions I faced on each street were made much easier by the fact that I kept the pot small.
