Who is the Jennifer Harman of this era
In the Professor, Banker, Suicide King Harman took on Andy Beal heads-up, coming from the cadre of elite nosebleed Vegas players. I'm curious who would fit this bill today? Robbi Jade Lew seems to be a fixture of the big LA games. Vanessa Selbt used to play nosebleed but may not anymore and is Kristen Foxen more of a cash game or tournament player?
It seems like the nosebleed games (200/400+) have shifted to private and since Bellagio/Aria don't really get over 100/200 very often, the private games are obviously a source of mystery.
Jennifer Tilly, Sashimi and Brittany Wang?
Ummmmmmmm no. Harman was also playing in and beating nosebleed mixed games consistently for a long time. Nothing wrong at all with saying Kristen and other females are good, well accomplished NL players but i can't think of any woman currently or recently doing what JH did
Jennifer Harmon vs. the unpredictable and unreadable Robbi Jade Lew would be a HU matchup for the ages.
Maria Ho is probably crying that she hasn't been mentioned.
Didn't Jungleman wear a dress one of the years he won the 50k PPC?
shaun deeb was once female as well 🙂
I think Jennifer Tilly is the only one to have continued playing in nosebleed games. Despite her showing a net loss, she has outperformed Daniel Negreanu, High Stakes PLO crusher Matt Kirk, and a whole host of players. She also lives with Phil Laak, and I'm sure that they have talked a lot of high level poker.
It's clear she is very regular in the high stakes private circuit, and even if she makes 10MM a year from the Simpsons, that would not be enough to sustain heavy and continued losses. By virtue of staying in nosebleed action for so long she has to be the current female HS doyen.

10 million a year? She makes more than that per quarter from the Simpsons. Also lol@thinking Laak is some high level player.
Saya Ono, crusher from the LA scene in big private games

Too obvious
Harman is 22 years older than Foxen. Twenty years ago today(!) Harman finished 2nd in this 222 person $10K donk: https://www.wsop.com/tournaments/results...
You give Harman the chip lead Foxen had with 14 to go last year, she’s not finishing 13th.
I’ve probably been way too harsh on Foxen’s ME spewpunt. She’s had good enough results over a long enough period of time that she’s obviously legit.
I just found an interview from November where she said she was barely sleeping during the ME and was on fumes at the end; said of her bustout with KQo that she had never taken that line before. Has happened to Buck Buchanan, Sammy Farha, Dan Harrington, TJ Cloutier (ironically with KQo, in ‘98), and many many others.
She also said she didn’t realize how many people were rooting for her and felt bad about letting them down, which made me feel bad.
But Lord, the money she’d’ve made had she won.
10 million a year? She makes more than that per quarter from the Simpsons. Also lol@thinking Laak is some high level player.
Per Business Insider, Simpsons debuted in 1989, Tilly & Simon divorced in 1991,
Simon left the show in 1993, told 60 Minutes in 2007 he was making over $10M/yr from it, and died in 2015, leaving everything to charity.
Tilly’s net worth is estimated at $40M. Who knows how much more The Simpsons generates now than in 2007. Definitely a Spirits of St Louis type deal though Amy Irving probably still far ahead, never mind Mackenzie Scott.
Its pretty incredible how poor results Maria Ho has considering she has been one of the main female poker faces for 15 years and basically had poker as her full time job for that entire period.
Well she has won over 5 million in live tournaments and was the last woman standing in 4 WSOP (US and Europe) Main events.
Poker bunny
w/ more volume...Maria Lampropulos. very intelligent woman imo.

Grok suggests a range between 3-9 annually, and Laak played in the biggest HS games for years. I think being in action means more than a third-party review of a few TV appearances.
its a stupid thread cos even the OP knows there is no new JH
Jennifer was good at most poker variants she was involved in the big game i think ? where they played the billionaire ? cos she played all games/variants
to compare her to another woman just because theyre both female is stupid.
who can we name in last 10 yrs , foxen, boerr, annette (15yrs ago) none of them grew up in the same lifestyle
from what i can gather jennifer harman is a genuine "grinder"
the rest of em seem to come from rich parents etc especially liv boeree shes a posh spoilt privalaged girl, if she wins or loses she will still be rich
it would be good tho for poker if more women like jennifer emerged like
Kathy Liebert
jennifer harman
annete 15
vanessa selbts
etc
but if u google top women players poker (all time) all it will show is either good looking women as in models or female players who have been backed by sites back in the hay day to advertise their site.
to me its between 3 or 4 players
jennifer harman 1
annette 2
kathy liebert 3
live boeree 4 (she seems spoint and i can kinda gaurantee shes from money) so it means losing means nothing so its a win win (even though she seems smartish)

For years ending ages ago. He's not a high level player. He's a huge nit who does a lot well socially at the table.
I mean somehow you think Tilly isnt a huge whale bc she can punt Simpsons money whenever she feels like it.
