Since most of these players wouldn't be expected to last long, by the time you reach the money most of the women remaining will be players with as much experience and poker talent as the typical male remaining.<br /><br />*I'm aware that there are plenty of potentially "dead money" men in the field as well, but most of them are either there from winning a satellite which shows that they have at least some idea of how to play tourney poker or are your rich businessman types who tend to either be a little too tight (a strategy that isn't completely counter-productive to surviving into the money or ultra-aggressive, which although highly variance driven can certainly lead to tourney success (Jamie Gold, anyone?).nottomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03991575500138449082noreply@blogger.com
