For Karina Jett, poker is all in the family. Her mother was a successful Seven-Card Stud player who taught her poker strategy, and her husband is fellow Full Tilt Poker pro Chip Jett, one of the world's foremost tournament players. It's no wonder then that Karina has developed into one of the best female players in land based and online casinos.

Like mother, like daughter, Karina started her professional career playing Seven-Card Stud, but soon picked up No-Limit Hold 'em as the game became more popular and tournament prize pools grew in size. Since making the switch, the game has helped enrich Karina's life in many ways, including introducing her to her husband, Chip.
