I didn’t even know there are special female competitions in Poker. Is this the same situation as with chess? None of the grandmasters are ever women. Why do women need special women only competition in a card game that does not require any physical skill? Are they more daft?
I thought women and men are equally capable and intelligent, at least the equality discourse tells us so.
David Hughes won a $250 buy-in No-limit Hold’Em poker tournament in Hollywood, Fla. over the weekend. Normally, that would not be noteworthy, except for the fact that it was a ladies event.
Hughes entered the event at the Seminole Hard Hotel and Casino and won the top prize of $5,555, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Hughes beat out the rest of the entrants, all women, and drew the ire of other players in the process.
Abby Merk, who finished third in the event, tweeted out her frustration with the fact that Hughes won a tournament that was supposed to be exclusively for women.
I don’t want to suggest women are dumber but rather that they are different and think differently than men…
