I think the biggest factor is that there are not that many women that are interested in playing poker, instead of taking their available expendable
cash and playing poker with it, they go shopping or on a cruise or spend it some other way. If a woman wants to play, she will find a way :cool:

I dont know if that's true. I play poker a lot with friends before covid hit. Of the 25 of us I think 11 were women. They loved the game and played well. Its just they dont like the casinos environment at the tables. Sadly I have seen how some of my fellow men treat the women and understand why they dont come back. Its sad to be honest.

personally, I don't see the difference between a woman or a man playing at the table, I don't choose who to knock out of the tournament. the main thing is respect, very often in online poker it was women who behaved inappropriately insults. I don't hold a grudge against them, it's just that the female gender is more emotional and I understand that.

Actually, common sense tells me you may be right about the casino environment - the atmosphere can be intimidating at the best of times for men or women, especially for novices. I still believe the perceived ideas of what poker is to some people supersedes what actually happens in a poker game and honestly, a lot of folks just simply won't find that attractive.

I don’t like the casino environment. It’s downright depressing walking past all the stone-faced VLT/slot players - many elderly, many handicapped, many with no “actual” expendable income and virtually all losing.

Definitely, the participation of Women in Poker is still very low, but by creating a campaign and leaving aside the retrograde and macho behavior, we will begin to see how the Poker tables are adorned with the female presence! And the best thing is that Poker can confront the genres directly, and this will help the Women to demonstrate their great ability to play Poker.

by the way - women play very responsibly - but if they bluff, they go straight to the end

women are not as verbally aggressive as men on the table
