Advantages of Being a Woman in a Predominately Male Game
Another interview that Mike Caro conducted prior to the 2007 California Poker Players Conference is with Susie Isaacs author of the new book “Queens can Beat Kings”. They discussed the advantage that women have in the predominately male game of poker.
All is fair in love, war, and poker – except cheating of course! Women have a distinct advantage, because there are many men who think it takes testosterone to play poker, but it doesn’t. It takes brains and nerve.
It takes someone who can muster up the courage to be aggressive and raise at the right time. There are some men who don’t believe that a woman would do that, and women can use it to their advantage. Women can also use flirting to their advantage. They can use their womanly charm to disarm a man and find out what their opponent is holding!
The truth is that the playing field in poker is actually equal for everyone. It doesn’t matter how old you are, what sex, or what physical condition – anyone can win on any given day.
The smart men know that women have an advantage because they are underestimated, and they treat them as fellow players, nothing less.
