Women Top PokerStars Rankings in 2010

Poker pro Daniel Negreanu has published a list on his popular blog ranking PokerStars players by prize earnings over the last few years.

Negreanu who calls himself a "full fledged stats geek," says he compiled the list to see how he matched with the rest of Team Pro in terms of earnings since the beginning of 2008, but it also produced some surprising results, showing that women outperformed men in 2010.

For a start, three women ranked in the top for prize money in 2010, including the top two - Vanessa Selbst, $2.87 million and Liv Boeree, $1.83 million. Negreanu ranked eighth at $684,000, just ahead of one other woman, Vanessa Rousso, $616,000.

2010 has also been a big year in the rest of the poker world, with the launch of many innovative new online poker rooms.

Cool Hand Poker, or "poker for the people," presented itself to beginners with the promise of being able to play poker for enjoyment while helping players grow their skills and confidence.

888 Poker became the latest to launch a 3D version, so that you can feel like you're playing at a real bricks-and-mortar casino but from the comfort of your own home.

And finally, Wild Jack Poker ensured you can play poker from anywhere you want by offering its tournament, satellites and more on its mobile casino gaming platform.
