Do you think poker is more of a men's game?

[Heatman]

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.
