Kerryjane Craigie: The Accidental Student - Learning Poker Without Realising It

PokerStars Ambassador and Hippodrome Poker Director Kerryjane Craigie has always been a driving force behind women’s poker, whether that's creating opportunities, championing community or celebrating other women who make the game special. But behind the tables and live streams, she’s also on her own journey of growth.

In her latest column, Craigie opens up about what it really means to learn the game. Not through solvers or study sessions, but through experience, conversation, and curiosity. Here, she shares how commentary, connection, and a few lightbulb moments have changed the way she sees poker and the poker world around her.
