My style is based on what my oponent(s) is doing, not who or what they look like.

Personally, I try not to change my tactics. In a game like Poker, everyone is equal – the only difference is the size of your stack of chips.
Allowing myself to get unsettled just because I’m playing against a woman would give them an advantage. You don’t want to do that.

i would say if anything id play opposite that i know this is an untrue statement for a lot of female players but im gonna say it anyways the majority of women players play tighter and more str8 forward than men. This is definitely a generalization ive played very aggressive ones but if they seem tight i think you should often play them with caution and if they play back at you just let go of your hand unless they prove you otherwise
so would i change my play probably depending on what they are showing but i would often give them more respect when they raise

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”
No – if they were ganging up on her it was probably because they sensed she was weak when she made those type raises and not because she was a woman.
Some players might play more aggressively when playing against women but changing your play based on the fact your opponent is a woman is wrong in my opinion, well when you play at the most popular poker sites like Pokerstars anyway

I take all opponets seriously unless i have reason to beleive they are a serious fish. So does my play change? No absolutley not, the game is meant to be played equally rather playing vs a woman, a 90 year old person, or a 4 year old at a home game. Ok well home games are a little different but not much. They may have been ganging up on her because they felt she was weak well i guess she proved them wrong.
