We’re “Luvin” Poker!

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Luvinpoker.com’s founder, Jennifer Winter, has had an eventful life so far beginning on the red carpets aged 14 with Dance Party USA, going on to interview the likes of Michael Jackson. By 18 years of age she began her own TV show as an assistant to Tony Danza before looking after the accounts and production of music videos, in addition to live events. After this she became a staffer in the hit show Beverly Hills.

The family orientated girl next moved off to Las Vegas to build a new life in the gambling capital of the world. Although life didn’t come as easy for the Californian sweetheart as unless she became involved in poker she would struggle to continue her success.

Jennifer was first taught the basics from high stake player Mori Eskandi, but was fully staffed so referred her to chief editor of pokernews.com John Caldwell. She was hired to handle the WSOP finances in 2007.

After getting a taste for life in the poker industry Jennifer has now launched an online poker community gaining 2,500 members, 40% of them being females and aims to bring together poker players from all over the world, to make friends and even spark a little romance!

The community has a variety of great features including over 400 games, blogs, profiles and photo galleries for poker fans to enjoy.

Jennifer, rather cheekily, has requested for more men to join the site as they can teach the women a thing or two about poker!
