Battle of the sexes

[freeringo]

Since there are so many good women players here, we should have a weekly battle of the sexes game.

Let the bragging begin

No, whose setting ti up?

No, whose setting ti up?

well i think i was thinking it would be a nice idea. whats wrong with it.

[navuta]

No, whose setting ti up?

Yes, u are setting it up...
!!

[taylovesthebeatles]

I've been wanting to have one of these for a long time, so yes.

[KaciBlakely]

I think this would be a very good game.

It'd be interesting to see who would win.

I'm a girl so I'd have to say the women would win, but the guys could try, just to try, you know.

[twenty47]

I would love this idea.... but it would have to be a Omaha Hi/Lo tourney..... technically woman are far better at this type of poker... dunno why, it just seems to be..... but omaha, texas holdem, razz, stud I'm in (only if it's on a weekend so i can play)

[eejit101]

How do u judge it then?

Poker in a one off game is al luck.

Wed need the same amount of men as women, and there is alotmroe men on here so youd have to pick 5 or 6 or something.

Only women we have are - Tay, Twenty47, Sassy, BnLM5, Sue, Kitty.

If im missing any more, tell me. GATechMom too but she isnt regularly posting.


So, you go 6 v 6 in a SnG type game.

How do you calculate it? Youd need to run a 30 game+ run to eliminate some variance. Ideally 100 games.

just do it monthly and that sex gets bragging rights for the month

[freeringo]

Looks like Eejit has won in votes, 1-7.
Bow before your king,

[twenty47]

have 1 battle of the sexes tourney each weekend and see which gender wins the most.... then the winning gender team at the end of the month get 1000 chips each or something like that?..... (actually a 10 seater STT would work great but you men would have to argue about which 5 men play each tourney)

[eejit101]

Rofl ringo, too funny.

And meh, whose setting it up

[taylovesthebeatles]

Maybe have a team captain type thing like Family Feud? I'm not quite sure how we'd set that up but there's probably a way to do it. Or maybe a best of heads up series, and the winning person of each gender keeps going as long as they can until they lose a match and are eliminated, then it comes down to a match between the longest lasting guy vs the longest lasting girl? Something like that maybe?

[targetguy1]

well i think the only fair way to pick the guys is to take the top guys who play every game or close to it and let them play. its only fair to reward the most active people first. i would love to play for the men but i havent been very active the last few months so i shouldnt get to play. as it looks though eejit doesnt like the idea so who knows if this will happen.

[eejit101]

Im wondering whow ill make these ideas come true....

You can just make these games. Whose paying?

Lower the blinds to 1/2 chips on our own poker room and we can have
a 150/200 chip buy in. 5 on 5/ Mostly pride here.

Id be down for a battle of the sexes game. But i think, for ultimate bragging rights, maybe perhaps a heads up tournament. Im not sure if ndn has the software for this, but i imagine that itd be attainable somehow. That way, everyone, man or woman, has an equal shot for bragging rights. Regardless, having themed games or tournaments always seems to be more interesting, especially with the battle o sexes, youre not fighting for yourself, your fighting for all men everywhere (or women). But in all seriousness I would be about 4.35x more psyched for a heads up battle with everyone! Maybe the winner would get a cool logo (like for arcade champions), or something. What u guys think?

[freeringo]

Too Funny
Battle of the Sexes was supposed to be a poker match
not a verbal war.

[eejit101]

We do not have the software for this.

I know FullTilt can set them up, and id imagine we will be having one at some point.

[eejit101]

However we do have the software for ringos idea.

Make the blinds 5/10, everyone sits with 500 chips. Winner takes all. The only issue is that HU you would each have an average of 250 big blinds, so we would need to change the limits manually.

[Pokerkitty6]

This would be fun, especially if the guys start arguing among themselves like they usually do. We could set up a sneak attack!!!! I'm in, if able.

[BnLM5]

It does sound fun, doesn't it? If it takes place count me in, I will be happy to play.

[GloBug]

well ive seen in other places that they just hold them once a week. it doesnt have to be so hard. winner gets bragging rights for a week. thats all. do a 300 chip buyin.

[targetguy1]

after tonights game i would consider this case closed. just look at the results from tonights chips game.

[doorgod2]

sounds fun

ill play just let

me know when
