It happens so often I need some standard lines depending on my mood and what I'm trying to achieve (normally it would be to reinforce his statement but there may be some cases where I try to do the opposite?)
"Queens will do against you."
"Yuck- I always lose with aces..."
"I'm usually very aggressive but you're totally intimidating me right now...."
These are pretty meh. Help! Jamie, Katie, Beata?
ha, jen, i'm laggier than anyone I know lol, I don't have these kinds of problems. I have problems with people calling me light because I "never have it." I jammed 25 bbs in a 6 way limp at a 400/800 level with AA in the BB and the SB tank called with queens (LOLOLOL at everything I just said), and the FIRST thing someone said at the table was "good call." I was like, ya actually it's not. Results oriented: I lost.
If people did think I was tight enough to the point where they had to say something (TWHS!), then I'd probably say stuff like, "I couldn't beat a monkey with my cards" or "Dealer X is punishing me!"
Anyways, about the attention thing... there's positive attention and there's negative attention. I used to be really chatty when I was younger and most likely underaged (lol) but now I tend to keep to myself because I used to make comments that made Allen Bari seem nice. Now I rarely even think those thoughts, let alone express them. From the few posts I read itt, I just want to ask you guys where do you think you get off thinking you're holier than thou? Yah you're a woman playing poker, you might be solid, but just because some dolts give you attention at the table you have to complain about it?
I had this old greek guy ask me if he could rub me for good luck because I was wearing a short dress. I laughed at him and said no. I could have handled it really inappropriately or shrieked and caused a big deal, but whatever, I'm hotter than anything he's looked at in awhile. I'm obviously kidding, but you have to learn to not be so uptight. I wear some pretty flashy and fashion forward things at the poker table (I do everywhere), and it might get attention, but that's no different than the attention someone might get walking down the hall at school or at the grocery store.
I mean, you are women around a bunch of men. Men like women. They're probably gonna talk to you.
