By saying "you just got beat by a girl" you're implying that women aren't, nor can they be, as good as men when it comes to poker. That's pretty demeaning to the rest of your sex, don't ya think?

so I just thought I'd share something that occurred at the table yesterday that had me tilting a bit, but in a "sad commentary on the state of gender roles in America" kind of way.
There is a 70-year old lady that plays at my casino who is a terribad poker player, but very nice. She is one of those women who have been taken care of or taken advantage of all her life. You know, the type who attracts abusers because she is codependent and it's too ingrained in her that she isn't allowed to be strong or stand up for herself. She is the type who is actually intelligent, but constantly plays dumb so men will rush to her rescue.
Anyway, she's at the table doing her "i'm a dumb woman" routine and going on and on about how she's confused by her new DVD player and she doesn't know how to hook it up to her directv box and TV. "But it has this in and out things and i don't know which to put where", etc.
So I speak up and tell her "the wire from the directv box goes into the "in" jacks, and the wire to the TV goes in the "out" jacks. She pretends to not understand and keeps asking, over and over. I keep repeating it, over and over. She's asking the table. I'm answering.
Finally, one of the old man coffees at the table says, "why don't you ask Chuck (another OMC sitting in the 8 seat), he's an engineer!"
Lady immediately turns to Chuck, asks him the same question, then says "oh, maybe you can draw me a picture" and hands him a notepad out of her purse. Chuck proceeds to draw her a diagram of the exact same thing I had said over and over.
Meanwhile, i'm sitting there tilting, having a running convo with myself. The dealer is cracking up. "I'm an engineer, you know. I have TWO engineering degrees. One's in electrical engineering! I can tell you how the signal goes from the box to your TV. Is it because I'm a girl? You think I can't be right? I can't possibly know how to hook up a DVD player? I set up our entire sound system in my house. I fixed our speakers. Is it? because I'm a girl? Helloooo?"
No one heard me but the dealer.
*sigh*

Great thread! I don't have much to add from my personal experiences as its been so long since I played live I can't remember much! & chat is turned off online + info tab up so I don't see any funny comments that might get made.
I love being underestimated being a woman playing poker. Reading posts like this make me feel warm inside and remind me how much of an advantage we can have over men. Yay boobs 
Oh my, how I wish that were true 
I drink like a fish and smoke like a train, pretty bad at keeping in touch with people outside of social media, and haven't had a serious boyfriend in years. Just another poker degenerate in a woman's body! I don't know any other female grinders in real life (afaik I'm one of the only chick grinders in NZ(if there are any of you out there lets be friends!!! Please??)). Trying pretty hard this time around to live a more balanced life but between poker, hand review and uni my spare time is normally spent drinking wine, grinding TV or sleeping

Woman players- don't bluff much. Tend to play passive waiting for a big hand. Don't really like to gamble. They think top pair is the nuts. They don't use there senses like they do to catch there man cheating. If trained properly could be a great poker player. But woman tend to look at poker as a game of luck. And also think guys are trying to bully them at the table. But guys don't care if your a woman or man. We play men same way as a woman just depends there tendancies. Nobody cares your a woman we just play the player. I always here that on tv. Oh guys like to bluff woman. No men are aggressive and if we can bluff someone out of the pot we will men woman don't matter.

I guess women tend to handle their lives better and are less likely to be heavy drinkers or drug takers than men. I suppose women place much greater priority on their relationships than going out and getting loaded and are more likely to let relationship problems effect their play.
