Playing against Women

This is a topic that me and my girlfriend always discuss after a session of poker. It has come to our attention that guys tend to take it easier on attractive females at the poker table. Guys always seem to check it down with the best hand or tell the girl what they are holding and that they are beat.

I mean if you playing against a girl who your trying to marry that may be the right thing to do, but as a professional this is what pays the bills, I really don't care if I am going to get this girls attention, im just hoping her wallet can sustain my next car payment.

But I do not speak for all poker players, some do play recreationally on the weekends, and yes playing like this may get you her phone number, but remember you are in esscence paying lots of money for that phone number, because of your lack of aggresion.

By checking it down for a girl, or disclosing your hand to her, you are giving her a competitive edge over you. Again if you are playing poker to make money this is a huge mistake, but if you are playing for fun and don't care about losing money then by all means, go for her. But if not then don't give her this competitive edge, because she will not show you the same mercy when she has a made hand, I wouldn't be surprised if she shoved you all-in with the best hand, even after your generosity
