Scientists conducted an experiment that showed that women are more predisposed to successful poker games on a biological level.

They found that an increase in the level of testosterone in the body of a poker player negatively affects his game. The results of the study were published in the well-known scientific journal "Nature".

The experiment was conducted in a group of 20 women aged 19-26 years. Each of them played two heads-up sessions, before each of which they drank special pills. Half of the pills contained a substance that provokes an increase in testosterone levels, and half were "pacifiers" (placebo).

During the study, the researchers focused their observations mainly on the art of bluffing. And at the end, we concluded that after increasing testosterone in the body, the player's bluff becomes more obvious and noticeable to opponents. The official conclusion noted that "an increase in testosterone levels in the body unwittingly encourages players to use a less profitable strategy of bluffing and playing poker."
In addition, the researchers noticed that players with elevated testosterone levels unnecessarily increased the number of "autocalls" during the game.

Thus, we can conclude that at the biological level, women are more likely to play poker successfully. However, in this case, it is difficult to explain from a scientific point of view the fact that men are more successful in the game and more often win titles of prestigious tournaments.
