Message: [QUOTE="WEC, post: 2418264, member: 31731"] There has been a lot of hyperbole in the recent posts so I wanted to get back to the original question. First, hard to think about whether the person you are actually playing online is really female or not (well except for here where the females are well known for the most part) since there are a ton of instances over the years where male players purposely pose as female players (including a huge earning online player who took stakes posing, acting, flirting as a female). So as far as I am concerned I really do not differentiate between men and women players online. Of course, just from the quality of play at CardsChat from the women players, you would have to think they are as good as or better than male players. I think in general if a woman puts her mind to poker, she can be as good and better than any male. It is just that more men tend to play and enjoy poker. I can see where many men feel that women may not be as good at poker as men, but I think that comes from the pure sheer numbers of men that have extensive experience and passion playing vs women with the same drive and ambition to play the game. I think a higher majority of women that end up playing at your live table (and maybe online) maybe just inexperienced and there to have a little fun, but may not be good at the game for that reason (experience). I have to admit when I play live, and I do not have any previous information or experience playing against a particular person, I have preset discriminations built into my thinking, until experience shows otherwise for that specific player. For women, that would be tight-passive players who you might be able to push around with aggressiveness. Obviously if you lump all women players into this category and do not change your view based on play observation, you are gonna get kicked by a very good women player (or even a bad one who likes to bluff and plays outside of the tight category). As far as the OP goes ([B]jmchezka[/B]), just get out there and play live and get a feel for it. I am sure there are all sorts of feelings on women players and how certain men react to their presence at the poker table, but once you gather experience playing I think you will enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
