Message: [QUOTE="Mr Sandbag, post: 2234238, member: 98413"] Some of the assumptions made in this thread are ridiculous. It has nothing to do with women being tighter, or less competitive, or less aggressive. It's simply numbers. Let's say 95% of poker players are male, 5% are female. Let's also generalize that 5% of all players are long term winning players ("successful"). If you took 100,000 random poker players, it could look like this: - 95,000 players are male - 5,000 players are female - 5,000 players overall are winning [B]- 4,750 winning players are male - 250 winning players are female[/B] [B]The number of winning male players almost matches the number of total female players.[/B] I highly doubt there is a higher percentage of winning players in the male population than there is in the female population. Males just outnumber females by a rather large margin. [/QUOTE]
