Is It Me?


May as well dress like a dude!

I played alot of online poker since this week. Alot.  And you know me, I chat a little and like to have fun while I play.  Guy after guy kept telling me they knew that I was really a man. 

"You aren't fooling me, you have to be a guy". 

"I know you aren't a girl.  You can't be."

"You're a dude aren't you?"

Different guys, different games, all convinced that I'm a.............man.  I want to know why!!!!  My Full Tilt name is female and so is my cute avatar with the devil horns. 

Remember when I FREAKED OUT on Jordan for making incorrect accusations about me? He said that I was a dude pretending to be a chick to get readers.  I must've had a touch of PMS that day.  lol.  I didn't realize at the time that I'd hear that over and over.

Is it because I swear too much?  I didn't swear at all on Sunday but got about 5 of those random "your a man" comments.  What am I doing that's so unfeminine?  I am NOT mannish in person.  Yet these guys talk like I'm exuding testosterone or something.  And if I were a dikey kind of gal, perhaps I wouldn't mind so much. 

But I'm NOT.

It must be the way I chat, although I don't know what I'm saying that'd make everyone think I'm a man.  I'm not making fart jokes or anything.  In fact I don't think my chat is mannish at all....unless they think I'm a gay man.  lol    

Do you guys think it's the chat?  Do I seem like I'm packing a python when you're playing against me?  I really want to know!

Unless....Do you think it's the way I play?  Not so nicey nicey and a bit aggresive, I know.  But wouldn't that make me a bitch instead a fellow?

During the very last game I played on Sunday night a guy started chatting with me, and I made an effort to be girlish. Well it was MY idea of what girlish is.  Stupid fucking idea (and it damn near killed me).  I swear to God he said (and this is a quote)  "I like you Josie, but you're a guy, right?"  I damn near put my tits up against the computer screen.

Um, that's probably not a girlish response.  But still.

Play smart.

Josie

I think it's just the whole "Chicks don't play video games".. "Chicks don't play poker".. type thing. Nobody thinks any chicks exist in these areas. All chicks are at home knitting or making me a sammich in the kitchen.

CrAAKKer!! lol I think it IS me.

Mostly the way you play. Frequent reraises in late position and C-bets almost 100% of the time, this isn't the MO of a female, but it is of VJ!

Most women I play with live are tight/passive calling stations. The one or two that aren't are alot tougher to deal with.

Don't know why it would bother you to be accused of being a dude online... LIVE however might be an issue :o)

For the sake of the new people here: She's a chick, I've known her personally for almost 11 years, sat next to her every Wednesday night during that time. I've seen the top half of her breasts more times than my gastroenterologist suggests is healthy. And I know a dude who had the whole picture and he reports full femininity.

Plus, there's this: she smells pretty.

Jew Boy - Wow, thanks for the female report!!! Soooo youve been looking at the top of my boobies, huh? I say that means you can't call me flat chested anymore.

It's definitely you

Wolfie baby!!! How's AC going. I cannot BELIEVE you went without me. Hmpf

Wolfshead said…
AC sucks so far. It's a bitch when someone you know hits a massivre bad beat on a night you should have been there playing. If my plan works out the trip will be worth it tho. Actually it is a family trip so how could i invite you. Dad might scare you off or vice versa. Decided not to play tonight, going to get drunk down by the pool and get an early start at the tables tomorrow.

It's probably the aggressiveness thing Josie. Many guys can't deal well with an aggressive woman, they would prefer an aggressive player to be a guy, they can deal with that better. Also if you're out playing them, some guys have a real hard time losing to a woman. My tells me about that all the time.

Neo, yep that's true in person, but that usually works to my advantage. i find looser calls against me which i can capitalize on. :)

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

I'm busier than a cat covering up shit on a concrete floor so you'll have to forgive me for not posting today. What, you thought this was a post?  Um, no it isn't. But, if you're desperate to read something about Very Josie, and if you like crafty humor, you could go ---> HERE as this post tickles my funny bone.  Go on now, go THERE and enjoy some fine writing for a change, and tell him Very Josie sent you. Snaps for Josie!  (you have to go HERE to appreciate this line and then come back here to leave me a comment.  Just because I'm too busy to post doesn't mean I don't like getting comments.  Now scoot!)

The Very Josie was Very fun yet I'm Very frustrated. (looking at you Jordan) We ended up with (13) players.  Not too shabby, considering it was Dank night. The players were: 1. Coop 2. Frankie Baby 3. Gary 4. Jordan 5. Kattitude 6. Lucky Duck 7. Memphis Mojo 8. The Lovely Very Josie 9. WolfsButt, I mean Wolfshead :P 10. Edgie??? 11. GoBurn1 12. My sis, PrettyCat1 a/k/a Cricket 13. Baynes Baynes made an entrance showing up a tiny bit late, but what a pleasant surprise.  I could've kissed that frog!  (frog avatar)  Baynes I think you can leave work at a decent time one a month, right?  The Very Josie is only once a month! 2 tables.  I started off with Mojo, Kat, Edgie, GoBurn1, Baynes & Ducky at my table.  Started off playing good and stayed that way.  Caught some decent cards early on and kept the chips I won.  But that Damn Mojo was a thorn in my side for the whole game.  He got MORE chips early on and held onto them too.  Mojo will now be called Nem
