Therefore, there will be more male poker/math geniuses, but also more men who are not intelligent enough to win any money over the long term.
2. I honestly think that men in general have a certain mental toughness that women don't have. No woman who is serious about poker should ever be deterred by some guy leering at her, talking about her boobs, or asking online how hot she is.
Short of physical assault, there is nothing that another player or anyone else can do or say that will deter me from my goal--winning money to take care of my family. Say anything you want about me. Call my wife a whore. I don't care. I need to ignore that stuff and stay focused at the table.
When UFC president Dana White told anyone who would listen that there would never be female fighters in his organization, Rousey told him on air and in person that she would make him change his mind. Nothing anyone said or did was going to keep her from her goal.
Poker needs more Rhonda Rouseys.
