in online poker is often not clear where the girl or where the man. I'm not against girls in poker. My girlfriend plays no worse than Daniel Negreanu))

Don't know why male and female distinctions are even mentioned. Women are just as capable to compete in poker as Men are. There are just fewer of them playing.

If we want true equality, there should be no gender only type tournaments. I think it is demeaning to have tournaments excluding one or the other gender.
I agree. this should not be. women of the planet are beautiful. and the beautiful must be in everything. especially in poker[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji255][emoji255][emoji255][emoji255][emoji255]
do not hurt women. better give them all your chips[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I don't think it makes a difference in general. Though its like cheffing, Men seem to be more single minded so there are more male pros. But a half decent female player could wipe the floor with most men, whilst doing household tasks. And I would be terrified to play against a female Pro in person, much harder to manipulate.

Women, not "girls"..

There are no "girls" in poker, workplace, etc. They are women. To grow the game, opportunities for women in poker will open. With greater numbers, there will be an increase in celebrity, ability of women players. I see a bright future in poker for women.

Explanation

How do you explain more and more girl in poker world? Once upon a time poker was Man-ly game, nowadays there is lot a women in poker playground, Much more on online poker! Why there is no that much girls in live events EPT or APT? Are they are scared.. or are they are really not that good as others, probably mans. Or they don't have money to play? I love to see more and more girls..even more then mans on table. Mans are flegmatic.. and girls battle on tables are much more interesting and agresive, and it effects on their playing. We love Vanessa Selbst, Rousso, Liebert.. Harman, Boeree, but we need new faces..How do you see girl on poker ture?


Doba,

I've been pretty frequent in terms of different casinos over the past few years in California. Typically the ratio seems like maybe 1 to 40. For every 4 tables youll maybe see one female. I would say that the ratio has stayed the same.... but I dont see many NEW females if that makes sense. So I tend to agree with you - we need some fresh new female faces. I dont know how you would go about getting them involved besides word of mouth. I'm definitely not going to put out a commercial or anything but it would be great to see more females at the table.

Good post. Ill make sure I tell all my ex girlfriends to hit the tables :)

Sad but true

I think there are less female players because males tend to be more aggressive type of people than females generally, but not always. Females can do anything males can do, but that doesn't mean that they want to. I think it might be similar to why more males go for STEM degrees than females, but again this is not always.. in this day and age you might get fired from your job or for saying that.. *ahem Go *ahem o *achoo gle anybody?!


Franks,

This brought me to another idea on how to weigh in on the situation. Men. Are. Pigs. Ninety percent of us are anyway. We also tend to not be able to hold our tongue when we're in our own environment. I've seen countless females be repeatedly hit on at poker tables when theyve asked politely for the gentleman to stop. So typically the females that I have seen playing poker that are decent looking are extremely thick skinned and will fire back when men try to hit on them like " Im way out of your league honey. "

That could be another reason why is that they give it a shot and tend to just feel uncomfortable. If they can get past that - or if the majority of men could keep their words and dingdongs in their pants - there might be an increase :p

Just a thought :)

I honestly think more women should play poker. The advantage they have is just that; playing with men who think they can outplay a women just cause she’s a women. But I have to say, testosterone benefits is men to stay disciplined and non emotional. Wonder how hard it is to keep emotions out of poker for women, whose essence is mostly made up of emotions and hormones. Gotta be just a little tougher. Which is why I applaud women who play.

I don't know of any girls that play poker or should play poker as there is a legal requirement in most countries for a girl to become a woman first before playing a gambling game.... Haha I see the thread title has got a lot of attention... women of world poker check out that thread if you get time..

I see women at the live tables all the time. I think it is weird to even bring it up, like women players are any different then men players. If your a poker player, Then you are a poker player. I would rather see the ladies more then the guys anyway.

Its been said a bunch, men are scum. Always have been always will be.

Possibly there is an evolutionary reason. Men gamble , women don’t. Cave men going after large prey with pointed sticks, women says those berries look tasty. Im not a scientist though so what do I know.

only thing I’ve noticed is they’re usually friendly/to themselves. Most are very good players
