MACHO MAN
Macho men can’t stand to let a woman win or take control of the betting.
This kind of man can’t stand to lose, and especially can’t stand to lose to a woman.
He’ll tend to develop an acute case of FPS trying to outplay an aggressive woman.
He’s usually doomed.
MR.FLIRT
Flirtatious men like women to think of them as nice guys.
They will often just call a raise from a woman with a hand that they would reraise if the raise had come from a man.
They’ll fold marginal hands when a woman bets.
Generally they play too passively against an aggressive woman.
YOU ARE?
There is a fourth group of men who simply treat women as just another poker player.
There aren’t really very many men in this category.
Probably, if you’re a man, you belong to one of the three groups I described.
Be honest with yourself.
Which group are you in? You don’t have to tell me, but you need to know.
Once you know what group you’re in, the adjustment to a hyperaggressive woman is easy.
Just don’t engage in that kind of behavior.
