Annie Duke Interview Controversy regarding Ladies WSOP event.

[yimyammer]

[ QUOTE ]
4 women have final tabled so far this WSOP. Kathy Liebert would be #5 if she makes it through tonight.
They need their own event. And Annie Duke doesn't have to enter if she doesn't want to.
The WSOP should offer flight B events. All past winners would be barred from flight B events.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unnecessary.

Before they shuffle up and deal, just make past winners chose from the following:

a. Must play with one eye covered with an eye patch, a parrot on shoulder, a wooden leg and a hook as an arm (AKA Pirate mode).

b. Must play with one arm and one leg chopped off (AKA Life of Brian mode)

c. Must play in full gimp regalia-ball-gagged, & leather clad (AKA Guantanamo/Pulp Fiction mode)

Well, seems Jeffery Pollack has weighed in about weather or not the the Ladies WSOP event will remain a bracelet event in his blog over here:

I agree w/ Annie Duke about the implications that the women's event has to the women's lib movement. I am also in favor of keeping the event in the WSOP, mainly because people like you (big dummies) just don't get it. Your boyfriend/husband really needs to step in here and tell you how to think properly.

I can think for myself, and I don't need a boyfriend/husband to tell me how to think, thank you very much.

Just because I don't agree, doesn't mean I don't get it. I've played in major (mixed) events, cashed in several of them, and have one several of them (including a 10k event when I was living in Cincinnati, Ohio).

For me I find the WOEs fun to play in, and I do know of several women who got their start into poker via these very types of events who might not of otherwise entered the poker world.

I respect Annie's position, however that said, she should repect ours as well, and not try to take something away that is needed by many others.

I think an all Vietnamese event would be pretty awesome and I would watch the final table on TV. I think an all Vietnamese women's event would be doubly awesome, and would watch that final table on TV as well.

It would be particularly awesome to see a 100-entrant tournament over in three levels.

How did this not get any acknowledgement?

wow i'm surprised no one is talking about the remark about doyle brunson.

Jesus she acts like he's completely senile and worthless... I bet he'd smack her around if he was there when she said that. Pimp cane yo.

I don't think anyone should respect you for fundamentaly flawed reasoning. The reason the WSOP has a Women's only event is because they feel it is a GIMMICK to get more revenue, especially from those that may otherwise not play. Dividing playing feilds based on anything other than intelectual ability is problematic.

[img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Okay, the spelling/grammer police got me there, and I guess I should be happy if that one word is all you can find wrong with in my reply.
