Cash Game Accomplishments:

Jennifer did it the old fashioned way, through hard work climbing through the ranks. In her early twenties she fought through the 10-20 limit hold'em games, all the way up to the biggest cash games in the world. Jennifer is the only female in the world that not only plays in, but beats the biggest games in the world.

Best game: Limit Hold'em- (her chapter in Super System 2 on limit hold'em is already being considered revolutionary in some circles). Doyle Brunson and the big game crew all fear Jennifer's limit hold'em skills. They won't even play "Jenn hold'em" with her. Jenn hold'em means that if they switch the game to straight hold'em Jennifer would promise to play every hand before the flop!
It's all in fun, and she doesn't claim that she could win that way, but the fact that her opponents don't pounce on the opportunity makes you wonder!

Worst Game: Pot Limit Omaha- It's a game that she doesn't have a ton of experience in andd when she plays the game it's a;lways against the best in the world which can be intimidating.

Strengths: Reading ability. Quite possibly the most talented poker player in the world when it comes to reading ability. She'll look right at you and just know, "He's Bluffing."

Weaknesses: While she has an awesome feel for the game, her decisions are harldy rooted in a solid fundamental knowledge of the game. She is a true talent, though, and always seems to make the correct decisions, but sometimes I question whether she knows why! She's a pure "people player" understanding that the mathematics of poker are much less important at the highest levels.

Cash Games: 9
Tournaments: 8
Emotional Stability: 6.5
Heart: 9
Short Handed: 7.5
Ring Game: 8
No Limit Hold'em: 8

Other notes: Expect to hear a lot more from Jennifer in 2005. In 2004 Jennifer was suffering from kidney failure and thanks to her 23 year old niece was given a new lease on life.

Aside from Jennifer's impressive achievements in both cash games and tournaments, perhaps the most rewarding truth is that she is widely regarded as the best all around female poker player in the world by her peers. In that regard, she simply has no rival.

Jennifer is a regular in the big game, and according to Doyle Brunson just may have become the best player in the game. Playing with the likes of Phil, Ivey, Chip Reese, and Doyle himself, that's quite a compliment.

Along with Jennifer's contribution to SuperSystem 2, she also has nice looking website: www.jenniferharman.com

Jennifer is an awesome player - its good to see her healthy again and playing her heart out... just an all around great player....for her, i have very much respect.

Jennifer and Annie are my exceptions to my signature

What about Kathy Liebert ? Or Clonie Gowan?
(sorry if the spelling is incorrect)

Half the women that play this game professionally will rip you a new one if you don't give them the credit they deserve. The other half will plug your existing one up. I would seriously consider changing your signature if I was you. :wink:

His signature is a quote from a movie I think. It's just a metaphor anyways lol. Doesn't have anything to do with female poker players. ;D

Clonie and Kathy are both amazing female players. Don't forget Evy though

How can I forget Evy. She's ALWAYS on my TV, dealing the cards out on the celebrity home game WPT...but that's about the highlight of her accomplishments that I am aware of.

What exactly has Clonie Gowen accomplished? She has a grand total of ZERO final tables. I'm not exactly sure how she got invited to the WPT Ladies Night shows but it had nothing to do with tournament success. Her biggest tournament cash was $3800 (16th place) in a $2000 buyin event. If she is competing in many large buyin events in the WSOP or WPT then she is surely a losing player.

Evelyn doesn't have a ton of tournament success either, but still more then Clonie. She has two final tables in small $1000 buyin events. She cashed (24th place) in the $1500 no lmit hold'em event at this year's WSOP for $5700, and got 22nd at the PokerStars WPT event (the one that airs tonight) for $17300.

Well Clonie hasn't shown much success, but I still like the way she plays. With that said, keep in mind she didn't play well in Ladies Night 2, but I do think her skill helped her win the first Ladies Night invitational, not to mention luck was on her side.

As for Evelyn, I just like her, LOL, so her results don't have to matter much.

That quote comes from the movie, Rounders....


:wink:

Ahhh I knew I was right. I just couldn't remember what movie it was from ;D

Here's an excerpt with the complete quote

Worm: "I guess the saying's true. In the poker game of life, women are the rake, man. They are the ****in' rake."

Mike McDermott: "What the **** are you talking abnout? What saying?"

Worm: "I don't know.... There ought to be one though."

She has a lot of good quotes in her book, including the one in my signature...

I also like--

"That beats the lot. A woman who can pick out a grade-A cucumber and knows a thing or two about poker. Where have you been all my life?"
Big Louie in "The Perfect Play" by Louise Wener

And-

Sex is good, but poker lasts longer..
Anonomous

And lastly, one of my absolute faves by the marvelous Mark Twain--
" There are few things that are so unpardoably neglected in our country as poker. Why, I have known clergymen, good men, kind-hearted, liberal, sincere, and all that, who did not know the meaning of a "flush". It is enough to make one ashamed of the species."


Ok, that's all I can think of for now... enjoy...

:whistle: :dance:

What really impressed me was during last years WSOP she was going thru all that kidney stuff she was facing death and she still played... I mean thats dedication..

Not to mention shes pretty hot in that picture.. :wink:

To even compare Annie or Kathy to Jen is a disservice to Jen. Jen has made two WPT final tables and has two WSOP bracelets, not to mention that she plays at altitudes that many mortals would dream about playing at, and she wins too.

Annie is an awesome player who has a different style. She showed that she can hold her own in the Tournament of Champions when she nailed Hellmouth.

Jennifer is a wonderful player, and I would love to see a ladies only tournament of champions.

I have Lupus, and have had kidney problems of my own in the past. Hopefully it won't ever come to the point where I need a transpant like her. She has my utmost respect for playing while so ill.... I look forward to seeing more of her in the future.

These women of poker have helped open up this world to other women out there. There are still some guys who think of this as the boys club, but that viewpoint has changed for many men out there, thankfully enough.

Isn't it a bit hard to judge a player after seeing only two WPT showing?

After reading The Professor, the Banker and the Suicide King I am even more amazed by her than most other players male or female. She took it to beal in the early games and without the Kidney problem I think she would have owned him again.

Best game: Limit Hold'em (her chapter in Super System 2 on limit hold'em is already being considered revolutionary in some circles)


you must be referring to the sewing circle comprised of jennifer, her mother, her aunt, and her niece that meet up every sunday morning. her chapter was one of the worst ones in a sadly mediocre and overpriced poker book. i've read better stuff in 'play poker like the pros'!(now i'm the one who's reaching)

What??? Whatchu talkin' about round-eye? If you have read Super System, and they read Super System 2, you would see that the two Limit Hold-em sections are very different, and if you have played Limit Hold-em very much and follow Jennifer's advice, you should have earned a tidy profit from it. This was the best section of the book, hands down :!:

brother, all i play is limit holdem, about 4-5 hours a day 6 days a week. i stand by my comment that it was one of the weakest "books" i've read concerning limit holdem. there was nothing new or revolutionary in her section, not even close. it added nothing to my game. i could see if the only thing you've read on limit is hellmuth then it might open your eyes a tiny tiny bit. it was too short, lacking any detail whatsoever. what she could have offered that might have been worth the price of the book in itself, is how she climbed the ranks, what strategies she added(dropped), some insights into the different venues and opponents she has played. all you end up getting is an ABC approach of how to play a tight/aggressive game of limit holdem, no more, no less.

* out of *****

ps: the best section was todd brunson's.

I have to agree. Although I like and respect Jennifer as a poker player. I think she's a very solid player all around. But her chapter in SS2 was pretty standard at best. For that matter, the entire book was somewhat of a letdown for me. I was soooo looking forward to learning some of Daniel's secrets only to find out it was all on Triple Draw (WTF????). Really, the only chapter I got anything out of was the one on Omaha.

speaking of books, does Daniel have any plans to write a book of his own? It would probably b a huge seller.

Jennifer is awesome...played with her on Full Tilt (limit holdem of course) she is nice as hell and her section in SS2 on Limit Holdem was the sh!t....she's kinda cute too

Peace

She is gorgeous :shock: but married awwww

Last updated on Oct. 28th, 2005.

I wonder what he uses to rate the "heart" catagory.

I met Jenn last spring and had a chance to watch her play the big game this fall. She is the nicest person you are bound to meet with the heart of a lion.

Agreed. I met her as well in the Spring, and wrote a post here about it I believe. Super friendly, even after a tough loss. I was duely impressed.

I have to say, of all the positive things said about Jennifer, the best I've heard is when Phil Ivey said, "I don't like it when I hear people say that she's one of the best women players in the world, because she's one of the best players in the world. Period."

The comment by Phil said it all for me (not a great woman poker play, but one of the best poker players). She is this beautiful woman with the heart and the killer instinct of a lion. She will win a big tourney soon!

Jennifer is teh hawt!

For the interweb impaired, she is cute as a bug.

One of my pleasures of playing at Bellagio was seeing her walking by.

I enjoy watching her play, live and on t.v., she is the kind of player I aspire to be.

She's the kind of player I aspire to "be with".

TEH HAWT!

I agree with this 100%. I read the section and she talks like this is the best strategy when you're playing the highest stakes limit games in the world, when these are the DAMN NEAR EXACT strategies that ed miller talks about in his small stakes book. She didn't say anything in that book that anyone who knows anything about lhe didn't know.

Glad she is healthy again and doing well

jenn harman is supa poks hottie.. the only other female pro that even compars to her is clearly cathy liebert LOL HAHA
jokeaments

Agree 1 billion percent.
Best article ever written on that game. Addresses the textures of teh game that are so much more important than just the straight "math".

Never ceases to amaze me how many people completely forsake "the platinum rule" at 7 or 8 man tables.

lol I know jen is an ok player but shes still a woman player and most woman plaers literally suck honkey for example they lack the required aggression for poker


MY JEN HARMAN RATING 5.8/10

You suck.

You must be new to the game.

You've got to be joking. You are, right? If you've seen as much poker as you let on, you'd know that women players can play just aggressively as any man. Some choose not to, but then again, so do some men. I saw Harman on The Game Show Network's "High Stakes Poker" quite regularly and I have seen her play some very tight/aggressive poker. At the start of one segment (the beginning of a new "episode") Jennifer took down the first two pots with super-aggressive play, one being on a monster all-in bluff.

Secondly, if you saw the Tournament of Champions the year Annie Duke won, you know the statement you made was incredibly ignorant. Annie Duke took down a field of the greatest players out there. At the final table, she played so aggressively she had even Phil Hellmuth no knowing what the hell was going on.

Kathy Liebert (although I think she's annoying as hell and a little conceited), plays very aggressive at times, even to the point of being too aggressive and going broke. She massively overplayed a small flush (something like 7-high), but never-the-less was not afraid to push a lot of chips into the pot. Aside from that, she can run a mean bluff.

A lot of women players can play just as well as a lot of men. The simple fact is, there's less women out there because poker has just recently (last 10-20 years) become a game in which women are accepted and in many cases, feared.

But to reply to the thread topic, Jennifer Harman is a very talented hold 'em player. She's one person I wouldn't want to sit at a poker table with, simply because she'd take my money. I'm sure I'd learn something from her. Solid player, very beautiful, and respected by the entire poker community. She seems like a very good person, too. 8.5/10

I already posted this but i think i put it in the wrong place, please make a profile on Jamie Gold, he is the reason I know I can make money playing poker.

And Jen Harman is the first name I ever associated with poker. I find her strangley atractive, even though she is twice my age.... i like to call her Harman Elektra.

Has she recently had kids?

adopted sons

Could she please adopt me??? I will even wash papa Marcos car.

bet marco likes it when she washes his......nevermind, so bad.

Jennifer Harman is a very weak player, at least at NL Holdem. She doesn't really have a clue when it comes to playing NL in my opinion. All of that nonsense the admin says about here reading skills, is horsecrap, she can't read that well, at least in HSP, and she plays weak "catch a flop, call, miss flop, check, fold, flop a monster push all in, don't get paid off" poker. Honestly, as badly as she plays on HSP, I think she should just stick to Limit. Also, if she had a kidney or liver transplant or whatever, how come she still drinks. If I was a relative of the person that gave her that kidney or liver, seeing her drunk on HSP, I'd be pissed off.

First of all Jennifer has stated that she plays poker by her instints not really by the norm.
I really don't think she would risk her health by drinking-Do you have proof she was drinking alcohol it may have been sparkling water,soda or just water with ice.
Why do you dislike her so much anyway?

....and you are...????


Jen is a 10 on a hot-scale of 1-9... not to mention one of the best poker players in the world.

Jennifer is one of the best poker players in the world, not just one of the best female poker players. I not just saying that because she's a poker babe. She can play with the best of them and come out on top.

I love Jen Harman, not only because she is simply brilliant (and I want to emulate her (yeah right!)) but because she is stunning (and this is coming from a gay guy!).
