There are very, very few fine, aggressive, female no limit holdem players out there. The few I've come across tend to do very well because it's just hard for men to get inside their heads, you tend to stereotype them and they are often able to use that stereotype to their advantage.

I realized that myself over the winter, when I used to wear this old-man red cardigan to the poker room. This young shark wannabe kept calling me "Mr. Rogers." Which even I will admit was funny. Same basic thing, he stereotyped me as OMC and it seemed to me that I could exploit that stereotyping, last thing he expects is that I even bother to read 2+2, let alone post hands, right?

So the joke is, me and her are doing the same thing, sandbagging our opponents by trying to project a certain image. Someday, when she really is a shark (and I have no doubt she will be) you watch. She will do just the opposite. She will come to the card room dressed like some chick out to party. And it will work.

The victory song ("More Than a Woman," BeeGees) is also a riff on her sandbagging image and her age, although there's a hidden compliment in there. The theme of the song is the coming-of-age of a young woman, and here I see a coming-of-age of a young poker player.

I understand how you feel. Jokes don't seem funny,and when people explain them to you, they still doesn't seem funny. But that's OK, it was probably not a very good joke anyway, right?
