And on the whole i think men respect women at the poker table, after all they hold the same cards and make the same bets etc, and anyone who makes a call because they are playing a women is a bad player.
You would not believe the amount of players that do this, and I mean well known players. Some people just cannot get over sterotypes eh!
Im guilty of this in certain instances. With good reason. If a woman is very attractive, imo chances are she has never had the need or inclination to become a total poker degen and reach a high skill level.
Being bought loads of fancy stuff by rich blokes means the nearest she got to sklansky's theories was getting her hair done in Tony+Guy next to Waterstones.
Just a nice broad generalisation but one we all make as players. It helps build up a quick player profile. Same as the drunk guy, the guy with the loud shirt, the guy who bought in with fivers etc.
