Really objective approach on a difficult subject. Well done

Funny this video didn't touch on what was my understanding that the event charged $10K for everyone to enter, BUT gave women a $9,000 discount to discourage men entering. So men had to pay the full $10,000 entry cost. In my mind, the pricing differential IS IN ITSELF a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Ammendment! 🙂 So in reality the event offers a go around of the legal hurdle, BY breaking the law in another way. How messed up is THAT?

You should want more women in the game, the more players, the more money at the rec level. I mean objectively, it’s +ev

“Women are just as skilled in decision making as men” 😅

Being that there are protections against discrimination, I'm curious if the ban on players not being of age to play in the senior's event isn't inherently discriminatory. It is truly sad that these questions have to exist. Great content as usual! Keep it up!

🎲 Dicey topic

[@veekay3158]

Charging different prices based on gender is still discriminatory.

This would belike if they had an all blacks poker tournament id be the first to say thats BS and offensive. And you could use most of the reasoning you applied to an all womens tourney to a al black tournament...its still offensive. You would be saying were at such a mental disadvantage we need our own tournament.

How much would someone who identifies as female be charged for the event? I'm not being facetious, genuinely curious.

The floor guy begged me not to enter a seniors event which I'm glad I didn't do they would have berated me the whole time

[@loh1870]

The club owner just let in these 2 pretty girls in for 5 $ and asks us for 50$..how sexist😅

What's up bud. I wanted to comment about the ACR bot scam. I posted 131% ROI vs those bots while every human got crushed. How? I can predict ACR run outs with 100% accuracy. The bots belong to ACR. I have video evidence and stats if you want to run a story on it. I love your channel btw. It's like "True Crime" for poker. I'm binge watching this shit. ❤

[@jackcooke2327]

Same reason theres womens chess, and womens anything else. So they can play in an environment they are more comfortable and competitive in. Who cares? Theres seniors events too, its the same thing.

Look at how many women have won bracelets in the last 4 yrs, 5 out of 300 opportunity or 2.66% and approx 4% are women, pretty close. Does men being aggressive by nature give them an advantage? I've me some aggressive women.

[@germtheorydisrespecter8032]

if you identify as a woman can you get in for 1k?

[@sunalwaysshinesonTVs]

Wait.. Im tired of the stupid male bravado at the poker table also and just wanna play a quiet chilled game. Since no one offers fixed limit anymore, the ladies event is perfect for Mr. Me!

[@antzooma]

quiet down and get back to your soy latte

[@teaadvice4996]

Obey all women. Women are perfect

[@patbeulah6208]

oh boo fricken whooo

[@thomascreech1696]

White men so worried about losing their top-tier world status these days....
