Everyone thinks it's wrong, unfortunately our opinions don't matter, the only thing that matters are the laws that are in place.If the tournament is for women only, only women should participate there, and men should not take part there. Even if he identifies himself as a woman, he should not be involved, I think this is wrong.
You know, laws don't come from nowhere, and they can be changed. If everyone disagrees with a law, it should probably be repealed.Everyone thinks it's wrong, unfortunately our opinions don't matter, the only thing that matters are the laws that are in place.

Discrimination laws are still in their infancy.You know, laws don't come from nowhere, and they can be changed. If everyone disagrees with a law, it should probably be repealed.
WTF mate, how is poker dominated by men?? And what women in their right mind would drop $500+ on their first game, and or 6 to 12 months into playing?? If they are using BRM, they won't do so till they have the money to do so. If I want to stake someone, I'm putting more on top of what I want to be paid back. Win or lose, they are paying me back and both ways.Completely wrong if you ask me. Poker is a male dominated game. Assuming here but women who want to play the game, as a beginner, women only games is probably the best environment for them
I think he means in numbers Steven, not skill.WTF mate, how is poker dominated by men?? And what women in their right mind would drop $500+ on their first game, and or 6 to 12 months into playing??

Just to remind you - recreational players don't have to use bankroll management.If they are using BRM, they won't do so till they have the money to do so.
This wasn't too long ago, many disagreed about this being changed, should it be repealed
So unnecessary honestly, attention seeking behaviour from this ladWhat do you think of this?
Good to see that you are thorough and had a look at the pic in spoiler, would you care to reply about the other pic, should that be repealed, would that make you happy.You're 100% right of course. Lynching is exactly the same as a women's only poker tournament.![]()
LOL, how does he know how many women are online playing!! I had only women nurses, with my trip to the ER and my week and a 1/2 in a hospital, and did everything they saidI think he means in numbers Steven, not skill.

You could list me as a RP player, but I still use BRM.. Unless, I'm playing play money.Just to remind you - recreational players don't have to use bankroll management.
They can spend as much as they can afford on poker and win some / lose some.
Of course the drinking fountains is also exactly the same as a poker tournament. We all know about the US's documented history of discrimination toward male poker players. I keep forgetting that male poker players were first brought to the US as slaves. As a Canadian, I forget about the fraught history of the US regarding men's poker. How incredibly insensitive of me. Once again, you are completely right, and I am completely wrong.Good to see that you are thorough and had a look at the pic in spoiler, would you care to reply about the other pic, should that be repealed, would that make you happy.
The question was would you repeal it.Of course the drinking fountains is also exactly the same as a poker tournament.

Of course you can pick and choose how and when discrimination laws apply. Laws are there to serve the public wellbeing. When they fail to do so, they may, and should, be rescinded or amended. What a weird thing to think. If laws were as straightforward and simplistic as you seem to think, there would be no need for lawyers.It makes no difference if it's a poker tournament or not, it's about discrimination, but that may be a bit hard for you to comprehend.
You can't pick and choose which discrimination laws you want to keep or repeal, it's not a hard concept to understand, maybe ask your mommy to explain it.
That's mighty white of you to say.Of course you can pick and choose how and when discrimination laws apply.
Which part of discrimination based on sex would you like to repeal? or Do you think there are different levels of discrimination based on sex?Laws are there to serve the public wellbeing. When they fail to do so, they may, and should, be rescinded or amended.
Personally I don't see much of a need for lawyers.What a weird thing to think. If laws were as straightforward and simplistic as you seem to think, there would be no need for lawyers.
That's wrong, because I watch those tournaments too, but one to the touch says it's not for you. What's more, I think or thought until now, that men were not automatically allowed. What a shame!!!!Why the tournament organizers allowed him to participate is the real mystery. Have you paid the organizers? :unsafe:
Or is it a publicity stunt to draw media attention to the organizers?
That is hilarious! Thank you for lightening this thread up a bit.A few years back at the ladies event at the WSOP, a table of ladies agreed to all go to the restroom just before the break and beat the rush. So they all went in unison and left the dealer with no one to deal to. i can see where some of the ladies might get upset if there was a man at the table.
The part that makes it illegal to enforce a "women's only" policy for a women's poker tournament or league. Haven't you been following the discussion?Which part of discrimination based on sex would you like to repeal? or Do you think there are different levels of discrimination based on sex?
