Women and Poker

In case you haven’t noticed more and more women are showing up on the poker scene. Some just to watch and others that love to play. If you have considered learning the game but have been a little nervous about asking for help or did not quite know where to begin there are some great tools available for you to check out.

Keep in mind that your partners weekly poker game may not be the ideal way to learn poker. Normally this is a guys only thing and your participation may be met with a little resistance. While they do not behave exactly like a gathering of women might, they do consider this their time to be guys, tell a few off-color jokes, drink a little, belch a lot and maybe even complain about their wives or girlfriends. And while you may say of course they would be welcome to sit in on one of your get-togethers with the girls, think about it, would you really want them to know everything you talk about?

So, in order to preserve the natural order (guy's night is guy's night) you may want to skip asking if you can sit in. Of course you can always ask your mate to teach you a few things when he is not actually playing. Or, consider getting a Poker DVD or software program. There are several to choose from and they can be as basic as you need as well as show you how to improve your skills. The best part is that you can view them by yourself or maybe you and your girlfriends can learn together. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be invited to join poker night but at least you will know what to do in case the opportunity ever arises and they need another player.
