The iconic images of cigar smoking, scotch drinking, loud mouth males huddled around the green felt table on poker night tend to come to mind when we think of poker. But it appears now that pow wows of giggling college girls , wearing baby ts and getting buzzed on wine coolers , are holding all the cards. Well, maybe thats the image that would pop into a guys mind, but actually these college girls are quite savvy to the game and mean business.
