There is less women than men because women are less inclined to take risk.( In general) It is naturally like that.

Although, I would strongly like more women.

actually, i think more women would play if they were invited to. i host poker tournaments every other month or so, and i can generally get 4 or 5 women to come (mostly men though) also, if you're friends with a female poker player, chances are they have friends that play to. Once i learned how to play, if you didn't play, you didn't understand what i was talking about.

cheers -_-

I only know one.....and thats my mum......only cos me and my bro play all the time.....she has seen us making consistent money...

She's still learning though.......

I would hazard a guess that 5-10% tops are women !!

Annie Duke proposed that theory for why so few women play high stakes. Or rather, they are too concrete in their thinking. "God, I am putting an entire college education at an Ivy League college in the pot and I don't have the nuts..."

The women I know don't seem to be risk averse though. More the other way around!

i concur...


but i also think that a lot of women won't play because if they lose a pot they'll be thinking of the material things they can no longer buy. so its like a girl saying awww there goes $500 I can no longer buy that new purse or those cool shoes I was going to get.

IMO, this opine is spot on.
More women will play online than will play live due to
the lack of intimidation factor online.

I was doing a research paper on the subject of internet poker, and came across a London Times article:

Although women make up about 4% of cardroom population in the United Kingdom, according to a USwitch.com poll, they make up approximately 40% of Britains internet players

Seems high and they didn't say anything about how they figured this out, but still, it says a lot if its true.
