Message: [QUOTE="johnysprinkles, post: 2411054, member: 118037"] From my observations at the live poker tables over the last 15 years, women are (in general) given a harder time. You need thick skin to enter this world, but there is good news, if you can handle the language, the suggestive innuendo's, the abrasive tones and often the stench, you can find edges that men cannot. When you appear timid, unsure of yourself this reflects and does not go unnoticed, a savvy female poker player I know has used this to her advantage for years. She appears timid, unsure but she is quite the opposite. She knows that her bets will get calls, she knows that her mere presents incites bluffs. and she is prepared. Some women exude confidence and this can work for them as well, they realize that some men hate to lose to a "girl". On the contrary there are a good supply of gentlemen who are happy to have a female at the table especially if he finds her attractive, these types are actually pleased to call off bets when they know they are beat, just to donate and get a smile in return. it is important to recognize how the table is responding to you, use it to your advantage, after all this is live poker where tells and personalities are the HUD and to ignore them, or not understand how to adjust to them is a significant mistake. There are disadvantages to being a female poker player in the live arena, but the advantages if applied well outweigh the disadvantages. Be observant, be prepared, and you will do fine. Most of us, regardless of gender were scared to death the first time we sat down to play live poker so realize that this will pass. Good luck Aaron [/QUOTE]
