There is something about Mrs Coren-Mitchell that I find quite endearing, I like her wit, I think she has a natural beauty and although she is "famous" outside of poker as well as in it I find her quite a level headed down to earth sort of person. I've never met her but feel like I've known her all my life. She seems to be wonderfully happy with her life. She would be first on my list to invite to a dinner party.

Very close to my favourite poker player - certainly in my top 3.

An absolute credit to our game.

So I look forward to a piece in the Guardian mourning the demise of the all male status of the R&A and Augusta, because golf is only a game and not important.

[leethefish]

She has an annoying voice tho !🙉

The R&A no longer allow separate male and female tournaments?

Her voice annoys me tho !🙉

FYP

I love Vicky to bits but I don't agree with her in this instance. Ladies only events are OOO IMO.

Why is Vicky playing, is it because the field is really tough and she won't intimidate anyone?

[SuuPRlim]

Vicky is fantastic, and she is right here as ever imo.

OK - so maybe, maybe it is true that technically speaking you dont have "mens only" events so you shouldn't have "womens only" events, tough to argue with that on a black/white perspective...

BUT seriously, why does anyone give a fuck? SO there is a tournament that just women can play? Who is really offended? As vicky says its such a tiny spec on the scale of global injustice that even considering being upset about it is pretty ridiculous, no-one stands to gain at all really from it is JUST a bit of fun.

I know some people want a world of absolute social balance but that is as unrealistic and it is impractical.

Would it really take much more than whoever is running the cage telling the men trying to buy in to do one to stop this?

Do the suits really fear some sort of class action lawsuit from these people?

Legally, in France, due to "anti-discrimination" laws which been been ham-fistedly drawn up, there is nothing to stop chaps buying into Ladies events, or 18 year olds buying into a Seniors event. It would be illegal to prevent them playing.

Can a 10 year old drive a car?

Bolded part nails it for me, if a womens only event makes women enjoy the game then this is surely a good thing.

It's only a good thing when there can also be a men only tournament without the inevitable bitching...
