Women Gamblers
Although I may have appeared to be a woman basher in my previous post, I am really not. I like being a woman and truley love many women. I am speaking of the situations that I have been involved with conerning poker. I know that I am frustrated and using this forum to vent. Hopefully even one person will feel me on this one. I believe that women have made and are making the world a better place. I also know that we have been underesimated and left out of the loop for many years. Being a feminist for nearly half a century gives me the right to make these criticisms of my sisters. We are very good at making changes and questioning why things are done in a particular way. When we are in a clutch we are more vocal and forcefull. These very wonderful qualities and intuitions work differently when mixed into a poker game. We inheranly value our money more (in a game) and bring emotions to the table a little more often than necessary. I know that my experience with the game counts for something BUT like they say “I’d rather be lucky than good”. My hat goes off to all the ladies who play poker. The longer you play the better player you will become and it is a really interesting pastime. We have been know to play slot machines with less interaction with table games. Although black jack is a favorite game of many women, poker is quickly becoming our favorite. YOU GO GIRLS!
