UltimateBet Pro and Professional Poker Player Annie Duke is probably one of the most popular and successful players - male or female. Growing up she played many different games with her family. Her brother, FullTiltPoker Pro and Professional poker player, Howard Lederer started her poker career. Annie, like most women poker players have had to deal with a maniac - a bully.
Have you ever been at a table live or online - where a man is just a total jerk? Sometimes these people are just jerks by nature, maybe they are drunk or... maybe they are trying to manipulate you and push your buttons. They are using this tactic to get ANY information they can and then use it against you.
So, what is a woman poker player to do? Keep your cool. Try to NOT give them any information you don't want them to have. And then take notes about this player so that the next time you play against them, you know exactly what they are up to and you learn a piece of information about them. And let them THINK they have learned information about you!
Yes, the bully/maniac may hit that lucky hand. It happens. All the time. Be kind to the bully and maniac - play solid poker and they'll end up PAYING you!
