As has been made clear by irrefutable anecdotes in the necessary slew of sexism posts recently, we need to end rich white male privilege in poker if we want to grow the game.

The undeniable claim that the sexism that persists in world has corrupted poker is undeniable.

WE ALL SEE that old rich white men control poker because of their PRIVILEGE. They are powerful and feared! This does not expand the game!

I know when i walk into a casino and see a table of old rich men I RUN! Their privilege will CRUSH me. They start with such a huge advantage. ITS SICKENING!

As a start I think we should ALL BOYCOTT tables filled with rich white men!

If you see a tommy bahamas shirt...BOYCOTT
If you hear someone saying they "hate jacks"...BOYCOTT
If you see someone capping their cards w/ pics of their grandkids...BOYCOTT
A conversation about "favorite hands"...BOYCOTT
Over 4 players eating free steak and eggs special...BOYCOTT
If you see a Titleist visor...For heavens sake BOYCOTT

Its time to stop giving our money to these privileged rich old white men in this sexist game!!

As a service too the poker community I will continue to play in these games, knowing im drawing dead. I will report back about their privileges. I will take their sexist jokes, touches on the arm and calling me "kid" and "sonny" while i hold down my vomitous rage, all the time knowing their days are numbered! If it looks like im having fun and making tons of money ITS ALL PART OF THE ACT! Im gonna take down these titans of poker from the inside!!

Please support me in this and help grow a fairer poker culture. JOIN THE BOYCOTT OF RICH OLD MEN TODAY!!!

How about we just end poker in general so that everyone involved can return to doing productive things for society?

I havent been inducted yet. at the ceremony you get this:



It "entitles" you to check rivers behind with the nuts as long as you refer to your opponent as "darling". The inhumanity of it all...

try to hold back your vomit...

this guy (mel) cracked my aces w/ 4's AIPF a while back then said "sorry" and gave me a small backrub!! (all true)



THE PRIVILEGE!!! I used to think he was a decent guy, now I know he was just trying to lord power over me!

Serious question: DO old rich guys make more sets than the rest of us? Obviously right? PRIVILEGE!!

obv. which begs the question; if you believe there is sexism "in poker" (which their obviously isnt) then you must also believe there is racism in poker, how does it manifest itself?

POTY?

(Also, congrats to poker on successfully eradicating sexism! Make sure to tell the rest of society how you did it.)

Rich people will always have privilege in poker because it's poker.
