Americas Cardroom has made numerous contributions to real money online poker over the years, and one that deserves a special mention is their constantly endeavouring to promote women in poker.

It’s an imperative that those responsible for helping shape and influence poker do their utmost, and part of encouraging more women to enter what used to be such a male-oriented world is to actually be seen to afford women opportunities that inspire potential recruits to what is a truly fascinating and exciting game.   

A few weeks ago ACR hosted an impressive Charity Poker Tournament which, while being commendable, certainly isn’t the extent of this excellent online poker room’s efforts.

In fact, you’ll find that four of ACR Team pros are women, with each contributing to the cause in their own way.

Ana Marquez

Ana Marquez (above) was once the top ranked poker player in Spain, and has accumulated around $2 Million in live poker winnings. Having being introduced to poker during her time at American University in Washington, DC she got the bug to the point that she even wrote her Bachelor’s thesis on the history of poker since the 1970s! Catch her at the ACR tables under the screenname AnaMarquez.
