If only the uproar over men buying into Ladies events prior to the advent of the two-tiered buy-in had been as great as it is now over one rare transgender player who lives and identifies as a woman.


It's so much about which part of truth you choose to see and promote. And about short vs long term. Anyway the human brain is very dynamic, some goodwill is needed.

Also the biological cost of reproducing for women is huge whereas for men it's very little which frees up males to focus more on providing.Also if we examine mitochondrial DNA which is passed down from our mother's we see that is much more diverse than human DNA because throughout human history women were far more successful in reproducing maybe at a ratio even as high as 2:1.

You write significantly better than people with mail order degrees. As well as middling ones.

If as many people believed the Earth was flat as believe that human beings can change genders I'd be railing just as hard against those dogmatic people and carry a mini globe in my pocket. I feel like the only sane man in an insane world. Biology is real. Women don't have penises and people who believe otherwise can be brainwashed into believing anything. Try to imagine from my perspective how dumb what you're saying is. "Hey it's not big deal, this crazy person thinks they're something they're not and we're all either going to pretend or accept the make believe version of reality vs actual reality". And then you pretend like I'm the crazy person for caring lol. I'd rather live in a harsh world where harsh truths are told instead of coddling the mentally ill.

You're on step 2 right now. "one rare transgender person"

Step 1: It's not really happening

Step 2: Yeah, it's happening, but it's not a big deal

Step 3: It's a good thing, actually

Step 4: People freaking out about it are the real problem

You will all be corrected one day.

What does that even mean?

In a few hundred years they're going to look back at us and be so amused at things like this. They'll think of it how we think of lobotomies, or bleeding people to cure illness


Flat Earth believers? Some things hold up, some don't. Gender is more relative than once believed. Both medically and socially.

It really isn't, though. It's exactly like flat earthers. Overwhelming evidence and proof brought to them and they just go "no, that's not real". It's the same thing

Or the other way around.

There's a more apt comparison to look at in history. The castrati. It's barbaric to mutilate the genitals of a child, full stop. Or to stop normal human growth and development including puberty.

Now any pretext that this was about the WSOP has fallen away. Can we move on?


Alvarez wrote in Biggest Game In Town about a conversation he had at the ‘81 WSOP with a dealer who was a trans male.

If you belive in evolution, you should not be shocked that men evolved to be better problem solvers due to the nature of the world and the need for survival for you and your family over hundreds of thousands of years. Not sure why this stuff is so sensitive. Logic isn't prevailing

You sound like a moron. Women are starting to replace men in positions that require problem solving, despite large amounts of resistance and discrimination. If evolution was such a strong and directed force, the majority of present day males wouldn’t be overweight, low IQ chuds.


A few posters itt need to hear this, but you are not the product of millions of years of brutal evolution. You are not a perfected apex predator. You’re a fat slob who would have never been able to pass down their genes if humans still had to struggle in the wild and had natural predators.

The men who typically subscribe to such thinking are losers with low self esteem who attach their self worth to their biological sex. Because without their believed inherent superiority as a man they have nothing. In most cases, reality has clashed with their preconceived notions of superiority based solely on biological sex. Ie, they are being severely outperformed by women in their personal lives and this causes them distress.


I have a friend who married a women who makes more money then him. It’s been sad to see him try to cope with this by leaning into the toxic masculinity space. He thinks just like these guys.


and here I thought this was a world series of poker thread


Ok, let's bet. Who of the celebrities will reach the highest in the ME this year?

If she counts as a celebrity, probably Maria Konikova. Bonus irony points given recent discussion ITT, too.


Yes I meant poker celebrities, nice input. I have a gut feeling Mike will be in the money. And both Phils will bust out before. Gus fights, and even sits at the same table as Mike at some point, but has to give up just before the bubble.

Robbi Jade Lew?

Not if you get corrected first.


Some guy with zero Hendon earnings sattied into 100K PLO

Started $120 landmark, got into $850, then $7500. All in one day

Sadly he’s out though


This hand just happened in the 5k 6max. Blinds 30k/60k Lucky Chewy opens to 120k Kyte raises to 1.2MM leaving himself 40k back, Chewy calls. They both have AT btw. Flop QJ6 all hearts check check. Turn 6x check check. River 3x check Chewy puts Kyte all in for 40k more into a 2.5 million chip pot and Kyte folds.
