OK.....so the TITLE was just bait to get you here......:bebored:
deal with it. It's on topic, and accurate.

BUT.......

Do you take the time to read the articles in CC's "Latest News" section on the front page?

I tend to find nuggets of insight inside them, most of the time.
And I often find myself digging around the internet for more information.
The one that this Thread is about.....was interesting, an informative.


ANYWHOOOO..........

Here's a quote from the article on Black Widow's mission to go undercover as a man in the poker realm....and keep in mind that this Player is a professional poker player.

..."...there is no doubt that I would rather play as a man. It is just simply more profitable.”.

2 questions for all of you Men and Ladies out there....

:questionm#1: Do you take the time to read CC's News Articles?

:questionm#2: Do you agree with this professional poker players statements in that article about men overwhelmingly out performing women in the poker world?

As always, ...opinions, why's and why not's, and random thoughts from random minds, welcomed. Even womens. :D

LINK TO THE NEWS ARTICLE ON CC'S hompage
(for those who like such)

Curious SIDE NOTE on this article.....
I'm suspecting I might be a woman!! :eek:

It's always reassuring to know that there are few people out there that stay aware of what's going on their realms.

Thanks for the all the input,
let's see what Dakota has to say about Hugh's comment. :stickyman

Even women`s. Is that funny or something.
All I`m getting from this thread is the impression that you are a misogynist or just straight up male chauvinsit pig.

Say's a lot about your impression of things. :wavey:

It gives me the impression that if you were a cowboy, or cowgirl,
you would get a lot of congratulations on you're being such a quick draw.
((at least while you were alive)) :bebored:

Good luck at the tables, :ciao:
and feel free to report anything I post. :D

Robert.

HEY!!.....did you bother reading the article in the CC News Link?
((be honest now...))

1 - I read some articles, I browse most of them. Some I do not even browse because they don't interest me. With respect to this artcle I browsed I did not read it until your post.

2 - Poker been male dominated for ages. We have seen recently more females join fray. Due to the sheer number of male participation obviously male out perform female. There is also a perception that males have that females are not as good as them and are exploitable. Alot of males play differently against females and have a different perception as to how females play as opposed to males.


A couple things I want to throw out there to comtemplate:


Firstly her success as male as opposed to female does not neccesarily prove her theory. Poker is a very mental game. We do not know if she played the same way as both genders meaning it could all be in her head. What if being a male gave her confidence to play better. She could have more confidence to bluff in spots and make tight calls. When she played as female she could have being leveling herself to think that opponents play her a certain way and she make decison off of that, then when she plays as male she no longer has that in her head so plays more freely. As I said above it could all be mental for her

Her suucess could also be all be predicated on luck (variance) meaning she just ran better.

I think this theory could be best proved in online world. When I play online I don't know who is male or female. So gender has no bearing on strategy on there. In my view it would be easier to pull some data from online to prove/disprove her theory and she would not have to go through the "daily pain" of trasformation. But of course the story would be far less interesting and probably sell less.

Would be interesting to get some female players perspective on it both casual players and pros. I would put more weight into what they are saying rather than someone marketing a book.

I like your brain!

And I am hoping that some of the ladies will make replies, to get their views on it also.

Great perspective and input,
thank you. :icon_salu

She's a winner.

Did any of you read the CC News story on this one?

I think this makes her a proven....winner.

((a quote from the article))
“There is really no good suggestion to extend to men on how to help women feel more comfortable, because no matter what the suggestion, everyone has their own style, and a lot of men like to be aggressive toward women at the table,”

I think there are just less woman that play. When playing live games... I think woman may have and advantage, men often either play "easier" on them or they tend to underestimate them.

my poker learning started here in CardsChat, watching the way to play. of the women players we have here have improved my game

the Author ends with:
“The object of the game is to have fun. Seeing women and men have fun at the poker table together is a beautiful thing.”

Here at CardsChat we have this harmony

I had read the article and I immediately thought of this


I do know that if you have an obvious feminine table name online, you will get to see some pretty rude chat after you take a man's chips. It can get downright vulgar and raunchy. I have sat down at a ring table and had someone immediately ask me if I'm fat or more often say something sexually suggestive. But sexual innuendo happens enough in real life that I guess I just don't pay attention to that anymore... most of the time. Every once in a while someone thoroughly creeps me out. It does seem to happen more in freerolls (never in CC freerolls though).

Heck, talk about the line between right / creepy, based on some of our late night pm's. We threw an atomic bomb on that line, lol. Super funny stuff there, twisted and historic, sis. ;)

As for the virtual poker table chat, ev1 should just stfu.

Op says, "I'm suspecting I might be a woman!!", maybe so, was that you sitting on the urinal? :D

1. I read the one's whose titles interest me.
2. I think this is only the believed theory because men outnumber women so heavily in the professional world. I don't think men or women have an edge over each other.

I have never once lost to a woman. :rolleyes:
But don't tell the women that.....they think they won. :D

It makes my realm easier to live in...when they think...they won.:bandit:

ok, ok,...but seriously.....
what you said is true, i'm going to bow out softly now and let's you and I never mention I even replied to you. All the above that I wrote was just a joke. Don't take it serious, please.
You win. You're right. I'm just going to tip toe on out of here now.....:bandit:

Let's try to stay on topic everyone. All the replies on-topic are greatly appreciated.

But the CC police are out and about writing folks up, giving fines and warnings.....:stupido: they're putting up roadblocks and barriers to catch offenders..........
and they're sticklers about posting guidelines ...so try to stay on topic. :bebored:
I 'd hate to hear anyone went off-topic and recieved warnings over it, or a fine, or getting written up.....

and they're mostly women you know. :eek:

They're already upset over reading this article I posted that says the Author of that new book say's.......women don't stand a chance.
I mean,
how you like to be a woman CC interviewer interviewing someone that's telling you that women's odds are worst???? :mad::mad::mad:

So stay on topic.
