But as I looked around the room, I saw there were no easy tables. Barbara Enright and 2006 WSOP Women’s Champ Mary Jones were there. Michele “The Black Widow” Lewis was at the table behind me.  I saw Barry Shulman - which only meant on thing: Allyn Jaffrey Shulman was in the hood.  Carolyn Ford was there (I played with her during the 2006 Orleans Open - she finished 3rd and I finsihed 10 off the bubble).  She also finished up 2006 by making four final tables in Reno.  Lacey Jones and Anjela Brunson were there.  And I recognized at least two dozen women from final tables I have witnessed over the years.  [...] [...] I enjoy the company of Susie Isaacs, but wasn’t thrilled to see her pull up a chair at my table.

Which unlike Dan's dress, is rather unusual. …And as Tom has bitched out (aka playing a major that weekend), I will be sporting the ’05 PI Tiara. Which unlike Dan’s dress, is rather unusual.

I did, indeed, have two black aces. For all the good they did me - I still was bubble girl (again), finishing 26th out of a paid 25. sigh It was a great lay down. I did, indeed, have two black aces.

Some players go with the assumption that all women play tight and they will stay out of your way if you make a raise or re-raise. You can bluff these players because even if they think you might be bluffing they know it's a small chance and it's not risk their stack. Other men will try to push me out of a pot when I have the nuts betting my hand for me the whole way. Some men pick on me (as they pick on everyone) while others are sweet and play me soft. Two of the eight men at my WSOP final table said "If I don't win, I'm rooting for you." In general...the better players show more respect. Great Question Neko

Lacy Jones in definately a hottie. What I am curious about, is that with all of the television documentation of woemen who were less attractive than the new batch. Do men still play you differently and underestimate the skill levels required for you to play in the bigger games? While I can appreciate that the chatter would definately increase when some hottie shows up at the table, does the actual PLAY change as you see it? Personally, I have always played women the same as men and tried just as hard to bust them out of a table (not that taking all of anyones money at the table has ever been my greatest skill). I just seriously doubt that I am the majority. I wouldn't think it would happen at the higher levels. But somehow I guess people are still going to be people and most men can't change the fact that they just get dumb around pretty women. Just curious. Interesting article.
