R e a l l y? I mean R E A L L Y?
In case you hadn't heard Jose the premise of LADIES ONLY events is to provide a safe place for women to play poker. LADIES ONLY events translates into men are NOT welcomed to play in these events.
Debbie Burkhead gives a great explanation of "Why Have Ladies-Only Tournaments?"
It's bad enough to worry about a man playing in a LADIES ONLY event BUT could a larger, more intimidating man show up to play at your table?
I personally saw Jose at the Bicycle Casino several weekends ago and he is a monster in size. Perhaps the most intimidating man in the WORLD to sit at a LADIES ONLY poker tournament!
You should be ashamed of yourself Jose for playing in this event!
Apparently 5 other men broke ettiqute and showed what kind of men they really are by enforcing the "no discrimination" policy that casinos must abide by on Saturday, September 15th.
Jose was the first man to bust out of this "ladies" event!
The women tried to shame them from playing in this event, as they should have and hopefully this will be the last of this kind!
Men are not welcomed to play in LADIES ONLY events. It's really that simple.
Congratulations to Gabrielle Wagner who took down first place......
We'll see what I fetch next time....
