I've never heard of this guy before so maybe he just wants to better known. As for the bet, well men do massively out-number women at the wsop and it's certainly true that most bracelets except for the women's event are most likely to be won by men. But why would anyone make such a bet? To prove a point that women can't play poker? To cause a stir among feminist groups? What does he get if less than 3 bracelets are won by woman? Nothing cos the women are not expected to win so he doesn't even get credit for predicting the out come.
Sounds like he's just trying to rile some female poker players up. If they rise to the bait that's their problem. Honestly I think women on average don't make as good players as men. They are better at emotional reading but not as good as concealing it. Men are more mathematically minded and have personalities more suited to poker. Doesn't mean that there aren't some good women poker players although a few come to mind who suck at poker badly.

I hope that the big mouth Mike shall have to run naked around Vegas streets cause he is always talking trash If three womens won those bracelets and he still won´t run I personally think he should be punnished somehow.Maybe he should be tied to a chair and couple of bracelet winning womens punching him with clubs

Lol. I don't really know a lot of poker players (as is obvious) and I don't watch as much poker on tv these days. But that doesn't change how well I play poker. And I don't think age is a big factor either.
I never said women suck at poker. And if I made any bigoted judgements about a group of people based on their age, sex or nationality I would be a terrible poker player. I genuinely think men tend to make better players on average but we are all individuals so I would never play a female player any differently or presume anything until I saw them play.
It is not only entirely possible that a woman will win the wsop main event this year, I'd say it is very likely to happen soon but while poker is so male-dominated Mike Matusow's bet clearly has the odds with him even if he is a sexist idiot who has nothing to gain from saying it.
edit: I just re-read my first post and I kind of see how it might have come across wrong. Believe me I'm not taking Mikes side here at all. He has a lot to lose (namely his dignity) and nothing to gain so he's either stupid, arrogant or like's winding people up. I don't think women are bad players, I just think that as a group they are not as good as men. Individually they could be anywhere from the worst to the best so when a woman wins a big tournament it shouldn't even be an issue.
Damn, I really hope he is right, not for I don't think it's possible 3 ladies can win 3 bracelets ( should partecipate dlkiv, one would be already won ) but just not to see him running naked

Hello everybody! Yes I think there are still too few women to participate than men for there to have three bracelet win. But yet they are a lot of women who have the level. See you soon for new posts lol!
