Playing poker with beautiful?

Question

women make you play better or worse? It seems they have me at a disadvantage.

Answer 1

I don't really have that kind of problem.  I'm not a very talkative player (I barely say a word) when I'm at a casino.  If I don't fit into a tight table image, I fly under the radar (and with a hot chick at the table, that is DEFINITELY easy for me to do).  However, when I'm at a casino, and not a home game I generally find the hottest woman at the table is the dealer, not a player.  ;)

Answer 2

Let the horndogs kiss up to her and try to hit on her.  She's probably just playing them trying to get them to give her their money.  Wup the twitter-pated morons rears for them, then offer to take the girl out to dinner with your winnings.

Answer 3

A lot of very good looking women use their looks to hustle men.  They act ditzy and amateurish, wear revealing clothes, and basically trigger the "if I'm nice to her maybe she'll sleep with me" reflex in men.  Either that or men resolve that not, under any circumstances, will they lose money to this bimbo.  Either way it results in the same thing: poor play.  Guys don't push when they should because they don't want to be a bully, or they hang on to a beat hand when they should obviously give it up because they refuse to be bluffed off a pot.  The girl's looks have made you play worse, because she's kicked you in your desire, pride, or prejudice.

Try this.  When a slammin' hotty sits at your table try to get her isolated in a hand.  And be as shamelessly flirtatious as possible the entire way.  She'll probably buy into it, figuring you're a donkey for chicks.  Play the hand awful, and be sure to show at the end.  She will peg you as a fish and move on to categorzing the other players.  From here you can bleed her dry.  Just make sure you make a flirty statement every once in a while to remind her that you suck.  But from this point on out you've established an image in her head of a lovestruck pigeon, and suddenly it's easy pickings.  Just don't forget about the rest of the table.  Be sure to note how THEY react to her presence, as some guys will open up if she's in the pot and others will clamp down.  Hot girls are like overly muscular men who think they can bully a table.  I can't tell you how many guys I've seen wearing muscle shirts even though it's winter, talking too loud, aggressively staring down opponents, and generally showing aggressive body language.  Pretend that you're overcome with fear, play into their game, and when you switch it up you own them.  They want you to react a certain way, and when you do it fits into their plan.  They don't notice it was a ploy until it's too late.

Answer 4

I hate playing with attactive women at the table because the other players focus on the girl and it's distracting everytime there are five guys trying to sweet talk her.  

One day in particular was the worst, I was playing at pechanga and one of the Miller Lite Cat Fight girls was playing also, as soon as it was known who she was the game pretty much shut down . . . Players on their turn to act were slowing up the game, players outside the hand were yelling at her trying to get her attention, it just got to be unbearable, don't get me wrong she was hot but the night club was across the way, and I wanted to play cards.

Answer 5

Haha. Definately worse! When there's some poker cards in a room, and *you know* what are you gonna focus on? lol

Answer 6

I've noticed that too... You get a hottie as the dealer then the house wins even more...

Answer 7

Haha.  Personally I've never had this problem.  To me, a poker player is a poker player is a poker player.  I play poker to win money primarily (to have fun, secondarily), so it doesn't matter who I take it off of.  But I have seen lots of guys take beat downs from attractive women, and not play their game.  Just a few days ago a friend of mine who runs a bar and has a regular game said he lost a ton to a girl who came in and played.  He couldn't stop talking about how hot she was (and he's a decent player, most days).

Answer 8

I  understand.  So take advantage and win their money.
