There is a new game in town and that is find the guy who is trying to pass themselves a a female in a online poker game, or even a woman pretending to be a man!
Why are people doing this? Well there are many reason but underlying it all is the aim to fool their opponents into playing differently because the opponent has got the gender wrong.
Give yourself a large whiskey for everyone you out and a cold green tea for all those that get away.
Here are the questions you need to ask:
Man impersonating a woman.
1. Talk about children, if they are reticent this should sound the alarm. However, if they are super chatty then this should also ring the alarm.
2. Talk about fanciful footballers or other sporting celebrities.
3. Discuss bingo.
4. Discuss make-up.
5. Be wary of titles like ‘Hot Mamma’, ‘Super Fit Girl’, ‘Slut Wife’.
Woman impersonating a man.
1. Talk about children if they are reticent keep on talking until they they laugh or engage. If they are super chatty this will ring an alarm.
2. Talk about football.
3. Discuss horse racing.
4. Discuss comedians
5. Check out names that do not include numbers.
These are not fail safe ways but from the conversation you will get a sense of the gender and therefore change the game to reflect this. A bit of stereo typing but it works.
