Q: Must women approach poker or business differently than men?

A: Only in the sense that others perceive them differently. It has to do with the way that people react to you. Some poker players think losing to a woman is the worst thing that could happen. You play differently against them. In business, it can be an advantage. Instead of fighting it, use it. If somebody doesn’t give you respect, don’t try to convince them that they should. Let them underestimate you. If they think you’re dumb, let them think so. Women spend too much time trying to prove themselves instead of just saying, “I hope everybody underestimates me.” If I see a woman at the table, I’m going to assume she’s not that skilled. But the minute they put their first chip in the pot, I start updating my opinion.
