Women and pool

I believe I've heard that Sarah gambles. I'm sure others do on occasion also. Are there any "hardcore" female road-warriors out there? Other WPBA members that gamble frequently? Oops. . . . I mean practice for "table time and sasparillas". :p

I gamble as well, but not with friends...I know Rachel Abbink gambles and has hit Atlanta a few times...and quite a few other women on the tour do.

just from my experiance, I find it is easy sometimes, to get weight from lesser players...just because they underestimate me.
When I was in Athens, I had a regular game with a guy who gave me the 8, and I could have easily have given him the 8. Finnally it hit him, I was beating him bad, and this kid who knew me was watching, and when he saw what the game was, he blurted out "your giving her the 8?!"
Ce la vie...he quit on me after that, oh well...but I play cheap sets, just to get a game. I would like to start raising the stakes a bit...but I know never to gamble more than you can afford to lose.

Any man can beat the best players on the ladies tour, but not any woman can beat the best players on the mens tour.

Marissa,

I really have to take exception to this comment. I watch the women play on TV and I am very impressed with the top 8 players. I really don't think any man could beat one of them especially Jeanette, Helena, Ga Young Kim, Gerta, Karen and Allison. I do believe there are some exceptionally good male players that are not on the pro tour that could beat them. I just don't see much wrong with Allison's game and I'm actually very impressed with what I see of her. She moves that cb around the table effortlessly even if she has to draw the length of the table. That's impressive to me! I don't think there are very many non-pro male players that are going to like playing her for the cash.

You might be a good player, but it sounds to me like you have a LOT to learn.
You should NEVER have been beating him bad. Quit being such an exhibitionist and showing your ass. You'll make a lot more money, honey. ;)

I think gambling helps Christyd focus. She is my buddy and all, but she is a ball or maybe 2 when it is for money verses small tourneyments. I really dont understand it and I have seen it with others too. Even if the tourneyment paid the same as she better gambling.

Kenny are you still trying to put me in a trap?? Im on to you buddy :D

Christyd
 
two very practical reasons.....

1...the women wouldn't make any money

2...they do a better job at promoting themselves and the game, so why screw it up by joining the men who can't do anything right.

I have to agree with Zack on this one Luke...I will play...but only fully clothed. No strip pool for me. :( BUT, if you are REALLY interested...there is a poster on this forum who has publicly made reference to playing strip pool. Maybe you could get a game?? But for some reason I am HIGHLY doubting it...

:D :p ;)
