Why can’t women win big at the game of poker?
Posted by admin
i want to know the name of one world champion female poker player.
poker is not a game of luck. if it was luck, women would have won the world title 1/2 of the time. poker is a game of strategy, perception,very simple math, playing your position, bluffing, and of course, the ability to make very hard decisions under enormous pressure. in today’s world, women claim to possess all of these characteristics, and some will tell you that they are better in these abilities than men are. yet, when it comes to a simple game most of learn as children, women come up miserably short compared to men when competing for the top slot–the world champion. i am aware there are some good women poker players out there who have won some tournaments, but they always fall short when competing against men for the world title. why is this? if they are mentally equal as they say, shouldn’t they be winning at least half of the time, instead of 0% of the time?
Good point rovale!!! its the same with the game of chess, its dominated by white men. i wonder why that is, since we are all equals? i am confused, surely the feminist have an answer to this strange delimma?

women can only attend university and do routine office jobs thats the maximum they can do
but when it comes to making big bucks and using the head all credit goes to men

We can’t bluff to save our lives.

Have you noticed that most of the top players are white men and there are few minorities? Why is that?

I suppose some women may be good, I’m guessing that part of the reason is biological. For example, the higher your testosterone level, the more likely you will be to take risks.

I personally can’t because my poker face totally sucks.
Same with chess, but I’m good at chess so it works out. This evening I was playing with a guy friend of mine, who had made a really stupid move which allowed me to fork his king and queen. It cost him the game int he end, but right after I made the move I just started trash-talking about Did you see how freaking awesome that was? My God! What could you possibly do now?
I suck at maintaining decorum in games. It means I’m better at playing Kings or As*hole than poker.
But poker is fun with friends… just not in Vegas where my money runs screaming out of my wallet while I’m not looking.
Vegas is for craps. Everyone yells at craps.
