Best response by far!

This gem though.....

By that logic, you would also have to say that whites are better at poker, and young men are better at poker than middle aged men and senior citizens are the worst.  And shaved faces are better than bearded faces. (I'm just going based on the posters of WSOP winners too).

So does that mean that American players are better too because there are more American players than any other nationality?  And specifically does that mean that Californians are better than any other US states, because there are more Californian poker players than any other US state?

Quickly, one can see that being born in California should have no actual influence on whether or not you are good at poker....although you might have more opportunity to be exposed to it and more places to play it than if you are born in Wyoming.  Does that mean californians are smarter than wyomingans?  Does it mean Americans are better at math than Germans?  Does it mean that shavers are more aggressive and more confident than beards?

It's the same for females.  Females made up less than 4% of the WSOP main event field this year, and about 5% of the total WSOP.   It's a numbers game people.  And specifically to all the men who claim that "men are better at poker because...you know....math and stuff"  you must not be referring to yourself as one of the men who is good at math....since you don't understand the basic mathematical concept of weighted averages and representative samples.
