It could have to do with there are just more men playing...it's something guys have always done: played poker. Either as a kid, in college, in the military, etc., there always has been sort of a macho thing going on. And when that macho thing kicks in (watching football, drinking beer around a barbecue, fishing trips, poker, etc.,) women are generally not interested.

It's only now becoming more popular (via online poker and the media) so women are beginning to catch on.

There also may be more inherent skills at work as well: men tend to internalize things more, while women are more verbal and readily display their emotions. It may be interesting to see how the online women players fare against playing in a real game at home. Bet I could beat 'cha

Yea, don't play Poker against Bryan. He's not above winning Legos from little kids! He has no couth!

So we began to play. And after about a half hour, he was catching on. Even though I had to keep reminding him about the hierarchy of hands, he got lucky a few times - he even got dealt a pair of aces and pulled up a third after he discarded. It was time to get down to business I thought, and I commenced to kick ass. You should have seen him cry when he lost his last Lego. What a baby. And of course he had to go tell his mom.

Also women tend to be more inclined to play a lower variance game such as 7stud8 or Omaha8. If you play those games you will notice the number of women are close to have. In WSOP events they are about 20-25%.

Simple: men are better poker players than women. It's a man's game.

Rather: men tend to THINK they are good poker players, while women tend to be more realistic.

Personally i think it is because men are better

Without trying to sound too sexist i think it is something that is built into the genes or something ... men really are better at pretty much every sport that men and females play !

I mean even the sports that dont involve strength men are miles better, why cant the best women compete with the best men at darts, snooker, pool etc ?

I think it is the natural order of things

Ahmmm, What kind of females are you hanging out with?

The women I know are ultra competitive with men and really get off when they beat a man at anything...
