CHAUVINISTS
There are chauvinistic men who tend to think all women are weak, predictable, tight players.
Nothing they see at the table will sway them from this view.
They think all women are poker players and that they are easy to read.
They assume that a bet or raise from a woman simply means that the woman has a very good hand because they think no woman would have the nerve to bet or raise without a near cinch hand.
The result is that chauvinistic men tend to fold marginal hands whenever a hyperaggressive
woman player bets or raises.
At the same time, chauvinistic players do not think that women have good judgment.
Therefore, if he starts out thinking he has a good hand, he isn’t likely to change that assessment of his own hand based on anything a woman player does.
One interesting characteristics of chauvinistic players is that they also tend to be tight players.
This combination of tight and chauvinistic does make it easy for an alert aggressive woman to profit from his reaction to her aggression.
