    Why is poker dominated by males?

    hi there

    In my experience of online poker, it seems that guys outnumber the girls by more than 3:1.
    Is this accurate? And why are there not more females playing?

    thanks,
    J

    I am a female who loves poker. There is nothing more satisfying as to bluff a guy off a good hand. I believe the stats are true, come on girls the game is fun.

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

    CM, you did not just said that.

    I played for years with a bunch of guys at a weekly game. Matter of fact, I was the only woman that played. I took more of their money than they took mine. And earned their respect as a good poker player.

    How about Jennifer Harmon, Clony Gowan, Cindy Violette? Are they not as good as the boys?

    Come on now.

    Hmmmmm....interesting. I seem to remember that I finished AHEAD of you in the last CM poker tourney...AND I didn't rebuy either. Care to rethink that statement?

    Annie, he was joking...ha ha. Just trying to rile up the women, he should know better by now.

    I have seen some mighty fine ladies beat many guys in the game of poker.
    You have many that play very well.It's everyone's game.
    If your good your good.
    I rather play with them any day of the week.
    And they are not as cocky as us guys are.(I only seen afew that are)
    I only play poker now at Foxwoods & The Mohegan Sun and I would say it's like 4 to 1 at a table guys in favor.
    All I can say is Go Girls this is not just a guys game anymore.

    It's simple, really. Women don't have cajones.
    Operators: If you don't know what Transparency means, then here you go.....now how about practicing it?

    Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...
