do you guys play any different when your opponent is a girl and that sexy yellow dress is raising you? do you think you do it without thinking?

I just turn the characters off in the video options so I don't even have to think about it.

If you are playing live, speak to the poker room host about doing this for you.

When I am in the middle of a hand everything fades out but the important details, the money fades out and who the opponent is fades out too. All that matters are the cards and the action. Im too busy processing information to remember that my opponent is cute.

I'll feel bad when she pouts as the pot is pushed to me but thats poker.

I've played against girls before, but never a good looking girl. I usually play them the same and try to win as much money as possible, e.g. I don't feel bad about check-raising, bluffing, etc... On the other hand, I'm not one of those guys who tries extra hard to beat them, because I don't like losing to a girl. I just try to play my game and win money. I wonder if I would play different if she was attractive though? But honestly I doubt that I would.

now imagine she is a girl that comes along with a few benefits AND she is smoking hot. i do not want her at my game!! i will play soft and that is not my style. i've gone TO WAR with my best friend and took all of his chips (and vice versa)...let's hope it does not come to that!

I think that is one of the most stupid things someone has said in the psychology forum (and there have been some stunners recently).

If you want to stare at boobies, you go to a bar or a strip club. If you want to play poker, you go to the casino.

Cleavage is +EV - and a strong argument in favour of sunglasses at the table [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Why the need for sunglasses? If some cutie is diplaying her cleavage I take it as an invitation to enjoy the show.
