Re: Only 1 woman left --- anyone know anything about her?
It's sexist because "woman" is used to identify the person. Is that not obvious? BTW, I agree with your initial point, I thought it was funny you feared racism, but didn't mention her race, just her gender and sexual inclination.

Re: Only 1 woman left --- anyone know anything about her?
is she actually homosexual?
Using "woman" is not sexist at all. If I'm talking about some male player, and I say "man, that guy is awful at poker" is that sexist? Or should I always use "person"?

[/ QUOTE ] I agree dyke is homophobic but this is ridiculous, there's nothing strange or derogatory about calling a woman a woman. If I said, "that man has had the clock called on him three times in one hand," is that sexist? You're being absurd, you clearly can't say that man/guy/dude and while you could say "person", there isn't any reason not to say woman.

Re: Only 1 woman left --- DOUBLING RAYMER UP??
Don't know too much about Ms. Williamson...but do know that when you call an all-in bet by Greg Raymer and only show AJo, you can bet you're probably in deep trouble. Of course, Raymer flips over pocket cowboys, KK, and the board blanks for Williamson doubling Raymer up! One thing is for sure, I would never want to double Raymer up in a tourney like this...

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] i'm rooting for the nonpro players, cuz the pros already got too much $$$ [/ QUOTE ] Nah, I'm rooting for Greg so he can support his family. [/ QUOTE ]l Agreed. I heard a rumor that after Fossilman sold 48.1725% of himself last year and only got $2+ million, that he was having cashflow problems living that extravagant lifestyle his family leads in the tony community of Stonington, Connecticut. Then again, I heard it from a guy who knew a guy who did time with Mike Matusow, so it may not be 100% true.
