Sasha Eileen Sutton tells Newsweek about moving to Vegas to become a professional poker player.
Is it time for young girls to put professional poker on a vision board? Unlike most corporate careers, the game cares little about age, race, and class. Answering to no one, a poker girl can control her time and bankroll. The game is wickedly hard, compelling years of study and thousands of hands to achieve profit and a pro mindset.
My early Vegas days were hardly a march toward victory. I had worked tirelessly with three coaches up to the move yet"brain fog" prevailed and I quickly lit some of my bankroll on fire. Every fear and old tilt trigger shot to the surface. I briefly dropped down in stakes to fix mistakes. And there are still fewer women in the industry broadly. Yet I call this the golden age for women in poker—starting with the enormously successful 2022 World Poker Tour Ladies' World Championship at the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas, and the Ladies International Poker Series .
But is poker gambling? Technically, it is, but I believe that modern poker can be misunderstood. Of course, any wager is technically gambling, and gambling can be dangerous and addictive, yet poker is unique. My view is that it is different from other casino games; pro poker requires tremendous study, focus, and concentration, and qualifies as a game of skill.
