I get that poker is a game that can be played by everybody - both man and woman but I can't help it with feeling that it's played more by men. It's like men are more into gambling than women from my perspective.

What do you think? Do you believe playing poker is played more by men than women?

Maybe 10-20 years ago it was, but now there is many great female poker players.

There are a lot of great female players at that. I mean, they can compete against the guys and win comfortably, and such competition is what I like a lot about the game of poker.

I don't think the gender thing means much these days. That's just a throwback to the USA 1950s and all the images of Frank Sinatra or something, lol. Anyway, though, I am just speaking from an American perspective. I don't know about other nations.

I do not believe that poker is predominantly a men’s game. Those days are gone when only most men played it. I know many women who play it nowadays.
 
Based on what I see, poker has been male driven, and it doesn't mean that females don't play poker too. Watching the game now, really, you would find more women entering the arena, and some of them really do prove themselves at the table.
 
The landscape of poker has evolved, with many great female players competing at the highest levels and winning comfortably against male players. The perception that poker is predominantly a men's game is becoming outdated, as more women enter the arena and prove themselves at the table

Overall, female poker players are not only competing but excelling, demonstrating their skills and earning impressive winnings in the process.

I agree there's been a rise of female poker players. I know some females that are absolute beasts.

The poker work is probably 50/50 these days with both females and males competing. However, years ago it was more than likely dominating by just males.

Poker is not a physical game, so I don't think differences in gender mean anything at all. Well, some sexist men might claim that men and women's brains are different. It's like when they say women can't drive a car or vote.
 
Poker was once a man's game, but the game has changed over time. It now creates room for equal competition among the sexes. @Jason I agree that it is about strategy, not physicality. Therefore, gender is not really a factor when it comes to this game.
 
I get where you're coming from; poker has mostly been played by men in the past. But more women are joining the game now and changing that. It's important to make poker welcoming for everyone, no matter their gender. Things are slowly improving.
