    Any other girls?!

    I'm Caz and I've been playing poker for only a year
    Went to the Birmingham Uni freeroll (my first freeroll) the other night and out of about 90 people there was one other girl disappointing!
    Is the turnout any better on here?

    Hey caz. We had about the same turnout at our first event in Leicester. There is one girl on here from Leicester and maybe a couple of others about. We're looking at doing some tournaments online that should have a big turnout.

    I'm Nick from the freeroll btw, James introduced us at the start of the game. I donked out quite early so you may not remember me!

    i think we might have one or two more girls on this site but not active users. Welcome to the forum Caz. I believe we were on the same table at the live tournament we held?

    Girl's only play online then is it... maybe I should conform to this then since I've never played online and it didn't go too well the other night!
    I don't remember being introduced to anyone? I remember the guy on door in the green t-shirt as we were all called in individually, and the guy on my table - this could have been James
    Oh... and the guy stood on the laptop who started throwing insults because people weren't sitting down quickly enough,
    "Can everyone sit down straight away?! How many socially retarded people can we fit in one room!"

    If you were put on the first table that had been seated then yes? (by the laptop at the front) The other girl I saw was on the table by the door.
    If it was you on my table then you pretty much ended my night when you had four of a kind 8s
    When there's nothing left to blame..... blame it on being a girl.

    Lol that was him with the quad 8s. Luckiest man alive!

    The guy throwing insults wasn't the friendliest. He sat to my left and pretty much abused everyone at the table but he actually seemed like a decent bloke.

    As for more girls on the internet, I don't know but it's a pretty male dominated game! Did you know anyone from the poker society before you went to the freeroll?

    Ye sorry about the quads 8's! I ran good that night and ended up winning the whole thing! Really thought you were going to hit your straight.

    Well James, you must be lucky since at the start you were saying, "I'm not actually very good", "I'm not too great at this", etc... git haha

    Yes I have noticed this male domination of the game!!!! I was taught by a group of guys I hung around with last year and was pretty bad. This year there's 20 or so of us that play in a league we've got, 10 of us play regularly and I'm currently 2nd in the table (I have improved!!) so was talked into going along. 6 of the regulars went along to the freeroll but none of us were part of the society before hand! I was terrified to start with buuut I had fun
