I think your average female player is slightly better than your average male player, but generally because they're tighter, which generally makes them easier to play against. I do think they bluff a lot less too.
LOLOLOLOLOL! :rolleyes: Come along to Carfax's Ladies Championship on 20th March... we will have you re-writing that statement. Freya is just one of many.
Bluff?!!! :eek: Oh...You are right. I don't bluff at all...

Ten minutes later he was giving out to his friend behind me as to what a b*tch I was??? and that women should not be allowed in the game. I laughed as he underestimated me or over estimated himself. I went to final table chip leader and finished 3rd with a very very healthy payday.
By any chance was his name Phil Hellmouth(last name misspelt on purpose)? 0 -

As a girl that has played numerous tourneys over the past 6 years, I sometimes wonder why more women dont play? True it is a male dominated game in Ireland at present but I am still at a loss as to why more women are not playing.
Personally I believe that men are easier read than women. For some reason I find that most (not all) men seem to think that girls just dont bluff, or that women are not capable of understanding the power of position.
I remember my first BIG tourney, 300 started approx 5 women, anyway as the number dwindled a very agressive male player arrived to the table, after observing him for a number of hands it was my turn in the big blind, I looked down at AK Clubs suited. The said male was the dealer and he raised 3x my big blind, so I just flat called him, flop A 9 Q rainbow, so I checked, he raised me all in which would have been 10x the pot???? So I called, he turned over Q 3, I turned over my AK and he went absolutely ballistic at the table that I just flat called his raise, said that I had no clue what I was at!! Anyway turn and river were blanks for him and he went out 3 hands later. Ten minutes later he was giving out to his friend behind me as to what a b*tch I was??? and that women should not be allowed in the game. I laughed as he underestimated me or over estimated himself. I went to final table chip leader and finished 3rd with a very very healthy payday.
I lurrrve playing against men that think that women are stupid and have no idea or read on the game and I firmly believe that women are harder to read than men........do you agree??
It sounds to me like that guy was just a bully and figured that he could bully his way through and increase his chip count just using that tactic..
I think maybe the fact that he lost to you bruised his ego even more as he was probably thinking, you're "just a woman".. I've seen idiots like this arrive at tables with big stacks of chips and even bigger egos.. most tend to be out after a few hands.
Back on topic, my company had an annual poker tournament every year and even though this place is a literal sausage fest, probably about 15% of the employees are female, less than half that enter the tournament, but you're almost guaranteed to see at least 1 or 2 girls in the final 10..
Girls who know the game are very good players and I wouldnt under estimate any of them.. but I think a lot of guys do exactly that simply because as the OP pointed out, its a male dominated game in Ireland..
If you can hold your own and excel in the game, good for you.. using the advantage that most guys do underestimate a woman is a nice one to have, wish I had it sometimes.. 0 -
