Ladies World Poker Open Super Sat

[Ironside]

Its just somebodies brainwave to try and take advantage of the poker boom and all the subsequant programs that are being filmed as a result.

That's Barry Hearn for ya!

The good old discrimation debate. Whilst it is easy to agrue against any form of discrimation I think it is important to look at the value of any "pro" discrimation activity which is aimed at addressing an inbalance experienced by certain groups. Is it right that a certain groups recieve special treatment, I say yes, if that same group is normally subjected to prejudices that hold them back from competing on a equal par. You hear of arguements against black scholorships, are these not racist, but when you consider the disproportionate number of WASP's to black people having the ability to go to college on economic grounds is it not of benefit to have some "pro" discrimation activty to address this society's barrier.

As for the male dominated world of poker I am often disgusted at the way some males treat women and I'm not surprised that the game attracts women in such small numbers. If any activity can be done that attracts more women into the game that surely that has to be viewed as a positive. Well at least the personal hygiene levels around the table would certaintly improve  

As for the merits of this event and the intention of it's organiser I do not really care enough to pass comment. As for blonde seizing this as a marketing opportunity to promote themselves, why not, it's a sound business decision as it will potential attract more people then it will offend. Afterall you can't please all the people all of the time

I rest my case 

We will speak later!

Sound and sage words, Sir.

As I have said on this forum before. A male isn't in a position to understand what it is like for a woman to play live poker.

I happen to enjoy being "novelty value", and have enough wit and arseyness to deal with comments, but many a time I have been snapped at, at  the table in a manner a man would never ever do to another man.

Also I generally will only go and play live if I am with a chap. In this country anyway.

I'll happily step up to the card room in Vegas alone. Work that one out..I've never been able to <g>.

[Claw75]

if you give them their own league, tournaments etc you will be taking away the edge they now have.

 I for one can not imagine how difficult this women’s game is going to be on you girls, no one bullying, no maniacs, where the hell are you going to be picking chips up from?

What sexist nonsense!  I can bully and play like a maniac like the best of them if the mood so takes me!

[Dingdell]

Ok - so who is who on the play list?

I can guess Heid, Chilli, Clare and Northangel but the rest?  Who are you?
