A new game is sweeping across college campuses everywhere, and no it is not ultimate frisbie. Recently a survey performed on dozens of college campuses stated that Poker, more specifically, Texas Holdem, is the new game of choice. But here is the interesting part. The survey taken was taken only by college girls. College girls by the hundreds have made the game their own.

Traditionally, what comes to mind when thinking of poker are men huddled around the green felt table, smoking, drinking, and swearing. Those scenes are quickly being replaced by 18 to 22 year old college girls going all in and calling each other’s bluff. And these girls mean business and are quite savvy to the game.

Although there aren’t a whole lot of female players in the World Series of Poker, an event that has exponentially increased the popularity of poker, these women players have inspired a whole generation of females to take up the game. Women like Nani Dollison, Jennifer Harman Traniello, and Annie Duke have become iconic heroes to many college girls. Tiffany Emerald from Fordam University says ” I watched alot of these women growing up and just thought they were so cool wearing their sunglasses and mopping the floor with all their male opponents.”

Once frowned upon, college’s have accepted gambling on campus more and more. Not that it matters much to these college girls. Keep your eye out for some of these women hitting the pro circuit after graduation.
