So far her prediction is coming true as she followed up her third place finish in heat one with another solid showing in heat two where she finished fourth. \u201cIf you\u2019re playing at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\">poker<\/a> table and an ace comes on the flop bet it, because men always think women have aces or an ace in their hand. Even myself I underestimate other women.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Advantages<\/h3>\n<p>She thinks that for recreational players being a woman is an advantage as the other players will often be gentlemanly towards you and go easy on female players but once you play against professionals you can forget all that. \u201cProfessional players don\u2019t see a girl at all, people say to me, oh when you play poker you wear the low cut tops and that\u2019s an advantage for you. Not against a professional poker player, I could be sitting there naked and all they\u2019re seeing is their cards and checking your breathing patterns.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Woman are very intuitive&#8230;.<\/h3>\n<p>She also thinks men and woman play differently, \u201cWoman are very intuitive, a woman will not let you get away with something that a man would because women are very good at reading people, but I think what men have that woman don\u2019t is an aggressiveness and bludgeoning someone until they submit. I don\u2019t like to make generalisations but a man might get a woman to lay down middle pair in a spot where a man never would.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>2 Bits of Poker Advice<\/h3>\n<p>As for woman just starting out in the game Tilly has two pieces of advice for them, \u201cTry not to be a calling station, because that\u2019s something a woman will do when she\u2019s starting out and people expect woman to be calling stations., she says. \u201cAnd be more aggressive and bluff more because men do not expect woman to be aggressive and bluff.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Watch All The Action and Join The Conversation!<\/h3>\n<p>The PartyPoker.com Premier League VI continues with daily Live Streaming coverage here: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bit.ly\/plpstream\">bit.ly\/plpstream<\/a><\/strong> So who do you think is going to win?
