“Lock women in a house for 30 days”
A few comments on a blog by The Razz Challenge about women and poker.
The blog tries to answer the following question: “Why Aren’t There More Women Poker Stars?” It’s a pretty interesting question to be sure, but I must refute some statements in the blog.
“A woman hasn’t been at a main event final table since Barbara Enright in 2005”
Maybe you forgot about Annette Obrestad who won the WSOP-E in 2007?
“When I play against a good woman poker player … I don’t pay much attention to their game“
Yeah, see that’s a guys’ problem.
“I believe with just a little coaching I could even turn a woman poker player into a great player”
Sure, with you as a coach even a woman could learn poker.
“Maybe the next great poker TV show should be one where you get a dozen aspiring women poker players, and they get taught how to play at the highest levels. Maybe you lock them in a house for 30 days, and an audience gets to vote them off one by one.”
Actually, that’s a pretty good idea. I like it. =)

Mitchell, it was meant as a joke referring to guys having troubles concentrating around a deep cleavage. I guess I should have put in a smiley or something to make that clear.

Lady Junkie:
Thanks for your comments about my post.
Funny post on your part. I think it’s the first time I’ve had some of my words taken out of context.
Thanks,
Mitchell
