Poker has traditionally been seen as a male dominated environment, but there have always been women who have competed and beaten men across the tables. From early trail blazers taking on all comers in the Wild West to the current poker genius of Vanessa Selbst, women have shown they can be more than a match for anyone at poker. While the number of women playing the game at every level shows signs of a steady yet slow growth the most recent estimates are that women make up just 4% of all live tournament entrants and around 9-11% of online players.



I agree please more woman ....

Stop with these feminist posts please, it's a simple idea in poker... Most women tend to suck at it because it values aggression and emotionlessness. Women who are not masculine minded will struggle and they prove that by quitting it before ever reaching high stakes level.

The women who make it learn to think like men. They can be heterosexual but still masculine minded. They tend to like math more than other women and learn to be aggressive even if it isn't in their nature.

Poker doesn't stop women; they try it and quit. A poker career is amongst the single most gender equality and fair of and on Earth because you never have to get hired so discrimination cannot exist.

But women CHOSE to be less than men in poker. There is NO GENDER DISCRIMINATION. POKER ACCEPTS ALL GENDERS RACES AND ANYTHING OTHER THAN RELIGION EQUAL!

Muslims are not allies of poker because their Religion says gambling is a sin and their countries outlaw it. all other religions are welcome.

Im afraid its not gonna be decided by democratic vote.
Few would debate that more women would be pleasant thing to have but its like that with all things that are male dominated.

I think for chess game there are even fewer women than poker, very few percent.

Not sure what's got the Madman's panties all tied up in a knot.

I see absolutely no difference between men and women's capabilities in an intellectual activity like poker. Many don't start because of differences in upbringing and cultural, plain and simple. Those that do may again be hampered by their upbringing.

We are all products of our environment. But some have been raised by families that encourage both genders to be all that they can be in whatever they choose to do. These are the ones who will smash the glass ceiling in poker, politics, business or whatever interests them.

So you are denying that genes factor in with talent as well as environment?

I think more women in poker is a good thing. The ones that play now are quite competitive and the more the merrier. Thumbs up.

Most of them quit because men like you are so disrespectful - not because they can't compete.

Others quit for other reasons - to raise a family is one that comes to mind. Men quit for the same reason - but of course your narrow mind would not notice that.

Surely poker with more women would be much more interesting, not because you think women are weak, I have seen many women in poker
My wife is very fond of poker, and it seems to me that it is not at all shameful to say that she plays better than I do
online, I have participated in many games with several women, here in CC, we have many women, and they all know a lot about poker
I will not enumerate the names of these women so as not to leave any of them off my list and be inelegant with them,
The world today has changed, whether or not you are part of it
women, be welcome,because have earned your place in the sun:)

Women poker players are so fewer, because from the appearence of poker till our times poker could be found at places with more men, like casinos, saloons, cafes, hotels and generally public places. Today with the online poker through a variety of devices and with other very significant global poker events the women poker players are increasing. I hope to see a poker with about 50-50 men with women!

I respect even the quitters. Everyone's life journey is different.

without doubt the growth in the participation of women in the tables is slow, very slow. and to that we add the few or no events for women to add. it would be good to discuss strategies to increase the participation of women and extend them to the halls to increase promotions for women

They will come

Like anything and everything in the world the women will come .if you look at anything in the world . Sports religion politics executive positions business ownership (i could go on forever) . Women are not better or worse than men .a lot of areas they are just not as practiced and or accepted . It has nothing to do with gender it has to do with training and belief. Watch the next few generations and you will see women in more and more areas and excelling at them . As society changes and girls are brought up trained and believing they can succeed look out guys they are coming .

Poker Needs More Women, I agree, i will rather play with a lady than with a male mainly because I love women: my mother, my sisters, my wife.

In addition to their skills as poker players they really look better than men! :deal:
