TJ the Manager of RaiseandFold was quoted "Women in poker are a minority when it comes to upper level tournaments. The goal is to bring a bigger awareness to the game of poker to women. There are a lot of great women poker players out there that can play at a highly competitive level. They just need an opportunity to get out in the tournaments and show what they can do. While our daily tournaments aren't main event status it gives ladies a chance to get to know one another and will help build the confidence in game play. As time moves on and the daily tournaments grow so will the events. The USLPC is the first of many tournaments that RaiseandFold is looking to send women to."

RaiseandFold Poker Room holds daily tournaments for Ladies Only that are password protected and the players are screened to insure that the players are Ladies Only. The tournaments vary in entry fee and type of game play. The starting times are different daily to allow players from around the world an opportunity to compete. As these events become a success more daily tournaments will be held leading to an all day schedule in the very near future.

RaiseandFold Poker Room gives all players 40% rakeback for tournament fees as well as cash tables in both Dollars and Euros. Rakeback is paid every Monday directly into the players account and a statement of the prior week's activity is e-mailed to every active playing member.
