Usually I just feel like another guy, but yeah, from time to time it happens that I run into Australopithecus tables, where my table mates seem they haven’t seen a woman in ages. I hate it in these cases. I don’t like feeling over observed or realise that the other people at the table are talking about me. Sometimes though it can be positive; if someone doesn’t know you as a player they’ll use stereotypes, and being a woman means they’ll assume you are tight and weaker than a man… that’s great! Nothing is better in poker than opponents assuming wrong information!
