Does Gender Affect Your Play Online?

[Dave H.]

I was talking to a few of my male friends last night all of whom happen to play online (all with moderate success) at various limits. One of them stated that he always seem to play worse against a female. Another agreed and then another. Gender doesn't matter to me when I play so I asked why and they basically all said that they didn't give the female credit for their hands or their raises and ultimately played far too aggressively against the female.

I thought of making this a poll and maybe I will, but for now I would like to hear anyone's comments/opinions about how you might respond to gender when you play online (or at B&M games for that matter) and I would love to have some females respond too.

Thanx!
