i'll pass these events along to my representative and the fair labor board. This is discrimination and is illegal under US law.

An interesting note, if it's illegal to discriminated based on gender, race, sexual orientation and so forth, then how can indians get around this? they are americans and the land is ownder by the federal government. They can vote just like any one else can. Why should they have special privliges? If they can, then why not let Puertro Ricans share the same? They are americans as well. And how about this group or that group.....

With all due respect, if there was an only Men's poker tournament all (you know what) would break loose.

BTW, at Bay 101 we must allow men to enter the tournament

We've debated this each time there is an article about Ladies Only poker events so I won't even go through the debate again.

IMO, event organizers should be able to set the qualifications as long as they make common sense. No one-eyed Mongolian tournaments allowed.

As long as it's bringing interest and money into the poker world, I really couldn't care less.

BTW, great articles Matt.
