[QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1106025, member: 33113"]
My avatar on Pokerstars is a 'female' name,... in hopes that some of the other males on the table will play back at me.  I've actually also used it to my advantage when my stack has gotten small in tourneys when bubble is approaching (etc.) and find with a few 'nice' comments, some of my male opponents seem to not mind giving me a walk, lol (my perception anyways.... maybe it's just that they're afraid that I'll play back at them with some uber aggression,... and fealessly pull some shoveaments).
 
I'd hate to generalize about how one gender may play in comparison to the other.. but.. my findings if they're faily new to poker,.. males will overplay their hands and be too aggressive at the wrong times, females seem to call perhaps a bit too often (when perhaps they should be raising or folding).  This is way too much of a generalization though.... perhaps another way to put it would be... one's playing style often reflects one's character and to play aggressively is sometimes out of character for some people, so basically they have to work at playing against what their natural tendencies would be telling them to do (ie., "can't we just check it down and  hopefully my hand will beat your's?").  If a female player is raising my bet, I'd have to admit I will tend to give it ALOT more respect.
 
These statements are based on fairly newbie 'online' players and are just a very generalized opinion (or maybe I should say 'observation').
