Woman Poker Player - Linda Johnson
Linda Johnson, aka "The First Lady of Poker," has been a fixture on the circuit for more than three decades. Worth noting are Linda's consistent efforts to improve the atmosphere in card rooms and casinos, acting as a spokesperson for "zero tolerance" for player harrassment and abuse at the card table. Linda also created the TDA (Tournament Director's Association), an orginization used to this day as a rules standard for large poker tournaments such as the World Poker Tour. A respected journalist, Johnson is a frequent contributor to Card Player Magazine, a publication she distributed for 8 years before selling the company. While she's no slouch in live poker tournaments, Linda has favored online play as of late, averaging up to 30 hours a week.poker news - Bahamas poker
