Known for its crystal waters and sandy beaches, the Indonesian island of Bali has often been called heaven on Earth. But the center of a budding women's poker community? Indeed, Bali is home to many poker playing ladies, a number of whom are part of the Bali Woman's Poker Club. The club's website, Putri-Bali.com, is half travel website, extolling the many wonders of Bali, and half poker portal, with Internet poker tips and background information.

The club is led by Prima Rini, an ambitious young poker player with eyes set on the WSOP championship. In total, the club is comprised of 10 players, divided into two groups, with each group meeting once a week. The ladies, Diva, Ayu, Purnama, Maya, Lindya, Dina, Putri, Sarah, Wulan and, of course, Prima, are intent on cultivating their poker skills. The group is currently looking for sponsors to back their training. In her bio, club member Sarah said that she hoped to “travel to Las Vegas and really play the game with real chips. I hope this dream will come true." So do we.
