I was looking at the Woman Poker Player Magazine Website and was completely disheartened:

Here are ALL the subtitles under the section Poker tips:

Thats it..the entirity of knowledge available to the woman player on their site. I've read the magazine a few times too, seems a little fluff and profile heavy.

I thought I'd toss out my particular feeling that these types of magazines, IMHO seem to really only weaken the position of ALL woman players. Encouraging girls to play- but never well. It seems as though ALL the 'woman' sites and articles are just enough to impress your boyfriend and his buddies, but not enough to contend seriously and become a real and enthusiastic player.

I'd love someone to show me some 'girl' links that prove me wrong.

I am not debating that steps made to encourage accessibility to the game for new female players aren't necessary-rather that once we've got'em hooked there needs to be a continuation..something AFTER they've learned what a 'raise' is, and to build the 'communities' our sex is so adept at.

I vaguely remember someone saying in the last 'female' post that the only gender at their table was "cash" but, as I said before: I believe the game does present some unique opportunities and challenges for women. We're a distinctive category of players..and its a sub-section that lately and uncharacteristically I find myself embarassed to be part of.
