Hi Poker Players, Here's a question for the gents....what is your general consensus when playing poker at a table with females? I have found advantages and disadvantages. Men general out weigh the woman at Texas Hold em. The disadvantage i have found is if i really bet a hand hard before the flop...most of the table will fold...where as if a man makes the same bet..players at the table are more likely to stay in. If a player bets after the flop and i stay....others will fold. The advantage to men folding to my bets is ......it makes it soooo easy to bluff. Also what is nice at times as men will have a tendency to bully me. I think there is a feeling i will not be quite as aggressive...and will buckle and fold...i love that when i have a great hand! Do you react differently to female gamblers? Lips |

Well Lips from a female point of view I would say that the male players treat some women players with no respect at all particularly on PKR . When I play on there Im always saying "got to raise the little lady" cos thats how they make me feel. But as you say, it shocks them when you get a great hand and bet aggressively. blue |

I don't think i play any differantly against women players but i feel differant.
i felt bad about taking down a big pot against "blue" (but i did it anyway).
just as in any aspect of life I know women can be sneaky,agressive and sometimes downright ruthless.
personally i love to see women at the tables!
my son says any woman who plays poker
automatically gets 2 extra "hottie" points (sexist i know, but true)

Like Jennifer Harman said, “It probably helps me to be a woman. In general, most men don't think women can play. So, what often happens is that they try to run over me. They bluff their money off to me. I guess they see me as a meek little girl and think that I'm easily bluffed. I'm not. ” |

For me, i don't care what gender you are, i'm going to play the same way against everyone. There are good and bad players of both sex's and i won't ever under estimate a women. In fact, one of the best poker players i know is a female... good old mom, who taught me everything i know! We would play 500 rummy for hours, and that was when i was six years old. Mom would always have a Saturday night poker game at the house, her and 5 guys, and i would be there watching her take there money all the time. She was a single mother, who paid for her first home with lots of poker money! Trotter |
