If you're anxious, you shouldn't play poker at all

Pretty sure it's the opposite, as women poker players face no barriers to enter professional poker, and they're seen as equal and dangerous opponents. Poker is one of those games that if you automatically dismiss an opponent's skill, especially for something silly like gender, you'll get your ass handed to you.

Most actions of "bullying, bluffing, and aggressiveness" is completed through the betting process. Often a silent show of strength where one pics up a handful of tokens and carefully places them in a stack in the middle of the table. Throwing them in aggressively is often seen are rude and can often be an infraction of the rules, because it's a pain in the ass for the dealer to keep track, sometimes this results in being barred from play. Most people just sit there say nothing and do nothing with no facial expression during an intense hand. Anyone who does react strongly and insults others will often be targeted by better players for destruction, or sometimes be kicked off the poker table.

So... Wow so toxic omg.
