Message: [QUOTE="Phoenix Wright, post: 5496322, member: 419963"] I wouldn't be honest if I said playing against a man or a woman didn't impact my poker game in different ways; however, it isn't in the way many are referring to. I look at them as an opponent after my chips - man, woman: it doesn't matter in that sense. What does change is how I reason. Men and women clearly think differently in certain things; as a poker player who adapts to situations, I have to take these subtle differences into account. A lot of my poker energy is trying to think about how my opponent is thinking. :D There is an argument to be made that many women poker players succeed because they just sit there and play their game. They aren't trying to "act macho" and intimidate everyone else because of their ego. A lot of men can learn from them. Like many women players (I am male), I just focus on the game and don't waste my energy with shenanigans like that. [/QUOTE]
