:star:What's the best female poker player in your opinion?:star:
I like Annette Obrestad
10 or so years ago, she was among the top female players, though I've not heard a lot of her of late.
I think it's Kristen Bicknell. She was a SuperNova Elite member on Pokerstars multiple times. She's also a three time WSOP bracelet winner.
I think she's among the best tournament players in the world if you remove the gender factor. Her results speak for themselves.
Maria Ho. She is my favorite. I think she is a very intelligent player, she is always very active in her social networks talking about poker and life giving good advice to improve our game and style of life with poker.
Maria Ho probably is the overall package as far as a poker player goes period. She's a really good player, does commentary and is just an overall great ambassador for the game, and is a likeable person as well.
Wtf ppl, the question was about skill, not appearance.
- Vanessa Selbst
When she was on the tournament circuit, she was without peer, as far a female players go, and was just one of the best period (again, removing male/female labels).
You asked who is the best but most responses are for favourite which is two different things.
The best right now is I think is Victoria Coren she has two EPT Titles.
But for hotness and great personality combined have always crushed over.
Fatima Moreira de Melo

Vicky Coren had a stretch where she was successful at the tables, but isn't in the poker world anymore. Fatima certainly was a great ambassador for poker in South America, though I'm not sure what she's up to these days.
Kathy Liebert, if you want to go back to the early days of the poker boom and even before that, she was a mainstay at the WSOP and had a lot of success. She doesn't fit the female prototype that draws a lot of attention from men, but there's no mistaking that she's very much in the discussion.
As far as female ambassadors of the game go, Linda Johnson with the WPT is certainly a pioneer for female players and personalities in poker. Her name can't be forgotten either as lot of what we see today, she was a big part of it.
