Who knew such events still existed … tiny stakes, beginner poker, pink, ladies, and free vodka? Speaking strictly in poker terms, I want to make a joke about this game being prime for the raping, but am so afraid to … still, I know if I were allowed to play I could win this bitch!

In keeping with the theme, I’d love to see the pink outfit you’d wear…No, on second thought, I wouldn’t.
And, careful with the bold predictions. Go watch tonight’s tourney and report on it and THEN tell us you could win it.

One word – insulting. (Not you, Dan, the pinkness.)

I think GLAAD should totally invade that event. That would send them into a tizzy, and probably make them reconsider the focus of their tournament.
And honestly, why not? If there are women’s tournament’s, why not gay tournaments? It seems about as arbitrary a designation for a tournament guideline as a women’s tournament.

I’ll go with insulting as well. Who says all women like pink?

Re: #4 … true enough, Lisa, but that’s the same debate that has gone on for nearly a decade related to ladies-only events. And ultimately, even though they may insult a few, people decide overall it’s a good thing if it brings newbies into the game.
Re: #3 … i wonder who would be the celebrity pros at that event.

but let’s not forget the free vodka they are giving these ladies! sure, you can get free drinks at any casino table … but poker players often forget that there are options other than red bull.

Hmmmmmm… women, poker, and free vodka… I wonder if any of these ladies will be looking for ‘private’ lessons afterwards

Certainly someone should be able to get Andy Dick away from a large pile of cocaine long enough to play some cards. Pink power, or something.
