Is Poker a Gender Bender?

In the course of working in a gaming company, you come across a whole lot of weirdos and weird characters. If the happenings in a day were a pencil sketch, you wish you could erase the conversations AND these people with a few strokes of a good, clean eraser, haha.

A lot of men get away with the feeling that because I’m a girl, they can get away with anything! They become frustrated and even rude and abusive when they find out they cannot. I am quite flustered and sometimes agitated with such happenings, and it is unnerving at times. Check this out from a client today:

[4/10/2009 9:05:19 PM] al** says: i wanna squeez your n*****s and kiss you all over

This is from a person that passes off as a “human being” on this planet, and whom I chatted with online for business only for a day! Luckily, my boss intervened and took care of this…this thing! I was so outraged and dismayed with all this, that I wonder: do these things also happen in the world of poker? Are women so cheap to men? How are women treated here?

Poker is a game of skill and skill is NOT the prerogative of just men. It is based on your own value judgments and your capacity and ability to use your mind to the fullest extent possible.

As the poker princess and fairly new to the world of gaming, online gaming and poker at Vegas Casino as such I would like to know– have you been ever harassed as a poker player because of your gender?

I dread that the truth may be far from nice!

Amy Poehler

While Amy Poehler didn't do as well as she'd hoped at the Celebrity Poker Showdown at top casinos, she definitely held her own, taking out poor Hank Azaria with a flush -- and ruining his dreams of winning on his second tournament attempt -- before being eliminated. But that definitely won't keep this girl down: she's nothing if not feisty!

Amy is now in her third year as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, which she joined through the Upright Citizens Brigade, a sketch comedy and improv group known for spawning hilarious talent.

Some of her most memorable characters on SNL are her spot-on, terrific impressions of Sharon Osbourne, Kelly Ripa, Avril Lavigne and even Michael Jackson. She’s also starred in such movies as Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo as a very committed narcoleptic and Envy opposite Jack Black and Ben Stiller.
