Are men superior to women in poker?

[Pokerman32750]

While men are playing poker and drinking, women are raising children and looking after the house.
Put everyone on a level playing field and ask the question again.

My point exactly and generally not starting pointless wars overseas... are exceptions to all of these men could be great fathers, women can certainly be great poker players.... clearly.. online and live are different I think women are better online than live personally and honestly

Of course! Nah, just kidding. Some men just think they're superior. Gender doesn't matter.

Women play poker as well as men, the number of participants and household chores are the answer to the fact that they rarely win tournaments

 

[MikeCarasone]

Some of the very best players are women , therefore my answer is no. Men make up a majority of the player pool thus have a better likelihood of winning which may skew the results but there are more and more women joining the top ranks. I think it would help the game grow if a woman became wsop champion and I’d love to see it happen. (Unless I am at that final table for some miraculous reason) [emoji38]

 

[Max Diver]

Yes, we are. I do not want to sound rude but is truth. See the top results men are normally up there. I am total agree a top female player can be Champion of a major event. It happened before and it will on the future. But men are better players.
I would love to see more women on live events. The table guys gets more polite with a women around normally. It is great for the game.
Cheers,
M.D.

Exactly there are only so many Annie Duke's out there with a brother like Howard Lederer!!

But Vanessa from canada just won the huge Sunday Million anniversary for around I'm not sure $1million USD and now she has just signed with America's CardRoom so Women can certainly be Superior to men in many cases !! Depends on the Soul of the Spirit in a person..

Some Women have much more intrisic and extrisic drives in all areas of Life than a lot of Men.. Especially Now A Days

I am female
Yes, on a whole men dominate us in most tournaments <3 I believe their brains are more apt to competition <3 We are getting there but the hundreds/thousands of years of not doing that has made us weak in that sense.
<3 Not trying to be sexist, just stating what I have noticed in my life.
There are things woman can do to mess men up in competition...some men you just have to sit down at the table and that makes them weak. Those men usually are not top tier performers though <3
I cherish what men can do that I cannot, I also have the same love for my female qualities that men cannot obtain. I also love that we have reached a point where we can sit down and play a game of poker together. I am also learning gentlemen (along with many other woman hehe) so watch out the playing field will be levelled <3

Yes but Women could exploit those weak men very easily a lot of guys are big on to ego and not folding down to anything so yes some Women have learned this and play exploitive expected chip value technique in order to extract more chips from lesser Man who will never make final tables

Exactly, that is not so much a skill but exploiting a weakness <3 and those are definitely not top tier players <3

 

[iwont20]

It can be determined once the numbers of participants are equal, during good period of time. Until then you can have your assumptions

Hahaha yes true such players will be at the mini and micro stakes much more than even medium roller events... But there are certainly exploitive plays to be made at high roller or even super high roller tables and events !! =)

In poker,I think women are more confident in keeping their distance and are less likely to break down in the game

But keeping your distance could get you to fold the best hand .. it is best when Women don't play too nitty because men could easily be thrown off by aggression in an especially sexually dimorphed ( really feminine, attractive Lady )

The Lexi Gavin webinar on tournament play is probably the best poker resource on the internet for poker tournament play that I have heard, so, until someone can match that quality content as a dude, for tournaments, which is what I am interested in (tournaments). That is a solid NO in that regard.

 

[azgeda]

The ratio of women playing poker is a lot smaller, please think twice and be more considerate before posting.

[Tomek416]

I actually have no idea. I would have to know the statistics of all the players or at least most of them and know which of them are women and men.
There are more men playing poker than women it seems, so among the best there are probably more men than women.

 

[WrongUsername]

no they are all equal human beings with same capacity

 

[PSMIKEL]

ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS IS A FOOL, AND MUST NOT KNOW WOMEN VERY GOOD.

 

[Rabberto71]

Absolutely NOT!!!
There are obviously still occassions in life where one or the other are superior but definitely not in poker or any other card game.

 

[GARCIA PABLO DANIEL]

hello

I don't think so, maybe there are more male participants in tournaments, I think that women play very well, they are very perceptive !!!

 

[INISHTE]

I do not believe it.

According to studies, they are smarter than us, so if you don't see many women excel in this game it's because they don't want to.

[Shab88]

I do not believe at all that it is so. In any aspect of life. Women and men are the same. The only explanation i can find is that there are fewer women playing. But there are great female players.

yes

I suppose you know, that you are likely to be an exception, nether than a rule

 

[Pokerpoet2]

Far from it, I have been up against too many great female players, I find it a lot harder to read Female players, and I find them harder to play against, when it gets to heads up, I have studied my play afterwards and discovered 2 of my main faults.

1, I find it harder to stare at Women I play against, because it seems a little perverted to stare at the opposite sex, in any situation.

2, Being the Gentleman I was brought up to be I am also a little too afraid to punish a Female player by using raises and re-raises when we finish Heads-up.

The only way I can beat them is to stop thinking of them as a Woman, and start playing against them as a any other Male player, but it is hard to visualize when they are more attractive.
I would hate to come up against Vanessa Rousso, Maria Ho or Liv Borree in a poker game, I would probably hand my chips over without playing a hand.

When the fun Stops, STOP!
