I ka wā e pili ana i ka ʻokoʻa o ka uku kāne, hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka deck e kūʻē i nā wahine, ʻoi aku ka nui o 80 keneta no kēlā me kēia kālā i hana ʻia e nā kāne.
Akā ke lawe nei kekahi poʻe i ka lima a lākou e hana ai a hoʻololi iā ia i lanakila me ka nānā ʻole ʻana i nā pilikia.ʻO Poker Power, kahi hui i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka wahine, e manaʻo e hoʻoikaika i nā wahine me ka hilinaʻi a me nā mākau lawe pilikia ma o ke aʻo ʻana iā lākoupāʻani poker.
"ʻO nā mea aʻu i aʻo ai ma mua o 25 mau makahiki i ka ʻoihana ʻo ia ka mea nui loa ma waena o nā wahine i kēia lā a me kahi a lākou e makemake ai e pono ai e lawe i kahi pilikia.ʻO ka lawe ʻana i nā pilikia e pili ana i ke kālā, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Jenny Just, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka Poker Power, ma kahi hui ʻoihana ʻoihana wahine i Nowemapa.
Ua hiki mai ka manaʻo no ka hui i ka hopena o 2019, ʻōlelo wale ʻo ia, ʻoiai ʻo ia a me kāna kāne i hoʻāʻo e aʻo i kā lāua kaikamahine ʻōpio e pili ana i ka heluhelu ʻana i kāna hoa paio ma ke kahua tennis.Ua paʻakikī lākou e aʻo iā ia e noʻonoʻo i kona hoʻokūkū, ʻaʻole i ka pāʻani wale nō, a noʻonoʻo e kōkua ke aʻo ʻana i ka poker.No ka hoʻokolohua, ua hōʻiliʻili wale i kahi hui o 10 wahine a me nā kaikamahine no kekahi mau haʻawina.
"Mai ka haʻawina mua a hiki i ka haʻawina ʻehā, aia maoli ka metamorphosis.E hawanawana ana na kaikamahine i kinohi, e kamailio ana me na hoaloha i ka lakou mea e hana ai.Inā nalowale kekahi i kā lākou chips, ʻōlelo lākou, 'Auē, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i kaʻu chips,'” Hoʻomanaʻo wale.“Ma ka haʻawina ʻehā, ua noho pololei nā kaikamāhine.ʻAʻohe mea e nānā i kā lākou kāleka, a ʻaʻohe mea e hopu i kā lākou mau ʻāpana.Ua ʻike ʻia ka hilinaʻi i loko o ka lumi. "
No laila ua hoʻohuli ʻo ia i kēlā hōʻike i kahi hui e manaʻo nei e hoʻoikaika i hoʻokahi miliona wahine a me nā kaikamahine "e lanakila, ma waho a ma waho o ka papaʻaina."
"Ua like ka papaʻaina poker me kēlā me kēia pākaukau kālā aʻu i noho ai," wahi a Just.“He manawa kūpono ia e aʻo ai i nā mākau.Nā mākau e like me ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ke kapikala, ka lawe ʻana i nā pilikia, a me ke aʻo ʻana pehea e hoʻolālā ai.
Ua haʻi ʻo Erin Lydon, ka mea i koho ʻia e pelekikena o Poker Power, i ka Business Insider ua manaʻo mua ʻo ia he pupule ka manaʻo, inā ʻaʻole he naʻaupō.
"Ua ʻōlelo wau no ka mea ua puni au i ka poker.Ma Wall Street, aia kahi pāʻani e hele mau ana.He pūʻulu mau ia o nā bros, "wahi a Lydon iā BI."ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo e hiki iaʻu ke komo i loko, akā ʻaʻole wau makemake.ʻAʻole like ia me kahi ākea e hiki iaʻu ke noho.
I ka manawa i ʻike ai ʻo Lydon i ka hoʻolālā ma hope o ka pāʻani - a pehea e pili ai i nā wahine ma ka hana - aia ʻo ia i loko. ʻO kā lākou loaʻa kālā mua mai ka hana ʻana i ka B2B me ke kālā, kānāwai, a me nā hui ʻenehana.
"Ua kamaʻilio wau me nā Luna Nui o ka nui o nā waihona kālā i pāʻani i ka poker.ʻAʻole wau e ʻakaʻaka;He 30 kekona ia'u e kunou mai ai i ko lakou poo a olelo mai, 'Maika'i keia," wahi a Lydon.
ʻOiai he mau makahiki liʻiliʻi wale nō, aia ka Poker Power ma nā ʻāina 40 a ua hana pū me nā hui 230, me Comcast, Morgan Stanley, a me Morningstar.
E hoʻokūkū nā haumāna o Poker Power ma nā papa alakaʻi a pāʻani no nā pono kaena.Ke lanakila kekahi i ka pāʻani a hōʻiliʻili i kā lākou chip, hoʻolauleʻa nā wahine ʻē aʻe o ka papaʻaina a kākoʻo i ka mea lanakila, wahi a Lydon.
"ʻAʻole ʻoe e ʻike i kēlā ma Vegas.ʻAʻole ʻoe e ʻike i kēlā i loko o kahi pāʻani home me kahi hui o nā kāne.ʻIke ʻoe iā ia ma kā mākou papaʻaina, "wahi a Lydon."ʻAʻole iaʻu manaʻo inā e komo ʻoe i ka casino.ʻAʻole loa au.ʻAʻole ia ke kumu.ʻO ke kumu: Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻololi i kou manaʻo a hoʻolālā a kūkākūkā e like me ka lanakilamea pāʻani poker?”
Hoʻokūpaʻa ʻo ia, akā naʻe, he hoʻokūkū nō ia.
"Makemake mākou e manaʻo nā wahine e like me ka pilikia, a pono lākou e hoʻoholo.Lanakila paha lākou.Nalo paha lākou.E aʻo ana lākou mai kēlā ʻike," wahi a Lydon."A e hana hou ana lākou, no laila, hoʻomaka ka hōʻoluʻolu ʻole i ka lawe ʻana i kēlā mau pilikia - ma ka papa poker, e noi ana i ka hoʻokiʻekiʻe, e noi ana i ka hoʻolaha ʻana, e lawe i kāu kāne e lawe i ka ʻōpala."
Hiki i nā kānaka ke hoʻopaʻa inoa no nā papa he 60 mau minuke no $ 50 - kahi kumukūʻai i ʻōlelo ʻia e Lydon e haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa e kōkua i ka ʻike e hiki ke loaʻa i nā mea āpau.Hoʻonui lākou i ka uku no nā hui, e hiki ai iā lākou ke lawe i ka pāʻani i nā kulanui a me nā kula kiʻekiʻe a puni ka honua.Ua aʻo ʻo Poker Power i nā cohorts he nui o nā kula kiʻekiʻe ma Kenya.
“Aia kēia kiʻi o nā kaikamāhine e noho ana ma ka pākaukau poker, a haʻaheo loa lākou.Aia ma hope o lākou nā lunakahiko a pau, a ʻo ia ka mana ikaika.He hoʻololi mana maoli ia āu e ʻike ai ma kēia kiʻi ke ʻike ʻoe i ka hana a kēia mau kaikamahine," wahi a Lydon."A ʻo ka poker kekahi ʻāpana o ia mea."
