Re: Jose Conseco playing in a women only tourney at the Commerce Casin
How on earth does Jose's intimidating physical stature in any way mean that women should be scared of him? Do they really feel he will be violent if they catch him bluffing or such?
And one casino in Alberta has started running "Men's Only" events on the same day as the "Women's Only" events. That's cool. I laugh something fierce when I overheard two women complain about the Men's Only tourneys taking away tables and dealers that should be used for them. Still. No need to segregate poker by gender.

[ QUOTE ]
Poker (esp. live tourney poker at Commerce) is filled with miserable, delusional, egotistical, despicable, rude, disgusting people. In other words, don't expect much in the way of hospitality and manners when you walk into a poker room. [/ QUOTE ] Substitute "men" for "people" in the first sentence and you will have nailed the exact reason that women somtimes want to play in a Ladies Tournament. When women play together they do exhibit manners, because we are intelligent enough to be both competitive and fierce without acting rudely. I play mostly mixed tournaments, and taking chips from arrogant men is one of my favorite things to do. However an ocassional Tournament with just women is fun, and as you near the money and the newbies have fallen away just as competitive as a mixed tournament. With the decrease of new fish in the sea due to the restrictions of online poker, the game needs all the new entrants it can find. Discouraging new women to join in with their ripe-for-the-picking bankrolls by mysoginistic men foolishly preening their misguided judgements is just bad business.

"it was legal for them to play and they didn't care about being made fun of, so they did" would be my best guess [/ QUOTE ] I cannot wait until the Special Olympics holds a poker tournament.
