Sigh ... she isnt getting bought in because she gets her tits out ... she is getting bought in (and paid a hefty fee no doubt) because of all the publicity she is bringing .... no offence but as good a player as Fran, Suzanne, and hundreds of other female players are, putting them into the comp would be burning money as no national newspaper is going to devote any column inches to you and no internet forum would have a 10 page thread about it ...

If you women boycotted these events and stood by your principals, sites would have to rethink their marketing strategies .... but no, it doesnt matter what they do, you all have a bitch about it but try as hard as you can to get in anyway.

Simple answer ... BAN all single sex exclusive comps, problem solved. 

But I am only a single sex....

Simple answer ... BAN all FEMALE exclusive comps, problem solved. 

FYP

its deja vu for me again as I had this battle last year but just scrap them, comps like these hardly help women get into poker when they are a 1000 pound buy in (or whatever they are)!

Pisses me off big time and the only debate i really wont give in on!

I don't really have a problem with women only comps, but I think they would be better if they were topless women only comps.


...I'l get me coat...

I know, my original debate started abot the blusq added seat for a ladies comp last year but as I have said in this thread, its a wise business move on blusq to be involved with them.

I have a problem with them because I cant quite get why women need a sort of safehouse tournament and cant mix with the men. I nevcer had any novice tournaments in a casino when i first started, i just got stuck in and had to go up against  the guys whod been playing 20-30 years. They are just made for TV tounraments which serve no real purpose in the development of bringing women into the game.

TOPLESS womens tourneys tho.....maybe!

so did i and ive never played a womens comp either

im just saying if it is a womens comp surely women who can buy in should be able to..only a few seats were saved for direct buy in and they went quickly so im told.

Im just venting fran, and certainly not at you or anyone on here.

They just piss me off so much, as I said earlier, IMO women only comps are far more offensive to women poker players in the grand scheme of things than addding eye candy to one.

[Colchester Kev]

Im going to run a men only blonde comp.

[Colchester Kev]

I played in a womans tour last year Fran and I have to admit it was great fun. I won my seats in sats so it didnt cost much and it was great meeting up with the ladies I played online and also playing live in games that I would normally never consider. These games were £100 buyin and to a small stake internet player were a bit out of my league.

It DID get my butt away from the PC and gave me the taste for live poker and I now try to make as many local live games as I can (babysitter permitting) so in THAT sense a womans only game has acheived what it set out to do.

But again, u werent new to the game of poker itself.

They dont put these tourneys on to get you to play live, all they care about is getting you on their site/promoting their site.

As jon has said, its of their interest that they added a seat to that comp last year, and it would make sense for them to have a "Abi" equivalent.
