Women poker room managers?

[sg23]

I know this is kind of random, but do any of you know if women have ever served as managers of poker rooms in Vegas (or elsewhere)? TIA.

There are quite a few of them.

I see I should have been more specific. Given that poker culture is more or less male-dominated, I was first wondering if any women had been or are poker room managers. If this is the case, I'm curious to know if there have only been a few (i.e., an extreme exception to the rule) or if women poker managers are more common than one might think. Do they make up, say 5% of managers? 10%? More?

Also, is it more common to see women poker managers in casinos outside Vegas or in casinos other than the big-name casinos?

They are common enough that I won't attempt to list them all.

Ok good. Would you mind naming a few names? I can take it from there. Thanks.

I know of at least four. Out of those, I have no particular feelings on two other than their room seemed fine to me. Two other ladies, both of whom I've known for years, did a fantastic job. A woman's biggest advantage is probably that they have far less testosterone and are therefore far less likely to have severe machismo-itis. This makes them more likely to listen to other people, especially customers.

In contrast, the top five worst run rooms of all times were run my men who suffer from this all too common affliction. I, of course, have the generic universal solution for all problems of this nature:

Kick 'em in the nuts.
