    Who cares? You definitely cant raise any argument over competitive advantages in this case.

    Still a good reason to stir up hatred at trans people. They must be held accountable due to their immense power

    Definitely, and if the Hard Rock didnt stop him, that's on them, not whatever laws they are supposedly afraid of (that I doubt even apply here).

    Depends how you view it. Women generally play more conservatively than men do. So an aggressive man who gets on any kind of run has a big advantage. There is a reason only one woman has ever made the final table at the WSOP main event, and that was when the field was under 300.
    But the article makes the larger point, these tournaments are also about women having a space away from the overly aholish macho male poker players.

    It’s funny to me, well and sad too. It’s ridiculous and the guy should have his ass kicked for being an ass, but we are waaaay past that now. As I said, this doesn’t even move the needle anymore. Erosion of basic decency

    Someone just posted an article where a jax transgender wasn’t hired as a lifeguard. It was a girl who transitioned to be a guy. He/she took off their shirt and showed the world their boobs. SMH.

    This was in Florida it appears? I'm not sure that the law required this. Aren't there still ladies' nights and womens' only gyms? The legislature could be on this by the end of the day.

    Pretty sure there's been lawsuits over ladies nights, ladies drink free, etc.

    Probably some idiot conservative falsely “identifying” as a woman thinking he’s funny, in the same way it was mostly conservative “men” actually causing the few issues that occurred with Target’s restroom issues by doing the same.

    Or more likely your semi typical poker player, who saw a statistical advantage and took it, and didn’t care much about people yelling over it.

    As of a year or so ago, women were like 4% of all players. Nearing a zero percent chance before this "passive" play even starts. The youngest bracelet winner ever was a woman (actually, 17.) They play the same probabilities the men do. Doubtful that men play bad statistics ("aggressive") anymore than women. Obviously, winning with a poor hand is a huge advantage in the end, and if you can dramatically increase the number of times you can take that chance (24:1), then you have an inherent advantage. It is pretty hard to lose if you get 24X the chances to make the same high risk/high reward choices.

    Also not buying the ahole factor. Plenty of Helmuth in that world to be sure, but not all. And I know plenty of women in life that make me pick the dog up and run through traffic to cross the street when I spot them coming down the sidewalk. They can hang in that department also.
