2026 World Series of Poker May 26th - July 15th
All mentally ill people are more likely to be victims of violent crime than the sane. What does that prove? And I don't need to look up that statistic, I just made it because logically it's true. Insane people are more likely to be victims of violence than sane people.
It's far from being just anecdotal that someone who creates a paranoid fantasy where certain people would "vote for them to die" would slip further into a psychosis that would lead to some type of violent or otherwise bad episode.
People in this thread seriously dont think a trans person is being reasonable to feel under attack in this country in 2026? Do you want to look up the number of new laws passed just in the last 12 months targeting them? Are some of yall really that daft?
And lol at ChipWynn who thinks “DEI hires” are a real problem. He likely approves of qualified persons such as Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kristi Noem, Jared Kushner, Bill Pulte etc - you know, good solid qualified white straights.
Neanderthals had bigger brains than **** sapiens, yet we outcompeted them. How is that possible if they were clearly more intelligent
We still retain neanderthal dna, at least non sub saharan africans. So we didn't strictly outcompete them, we interbred with them as well. Also **** sapiens are better persistence hunters than neanderthals.
And the reason that men have larger brains than women is that they have larger bodies. Doesn't that imply their brains need to handle and control more muscle/nerve connections requiring more brain cells that can't be devoted to actual thinking And given women perform similarly on intelligence tests doesn't that seem like the most reasonable explanation for why brain size in hum
Yes at least part of males larger brains can be accounted for by having larger bodies. Women perform similarly but worse on intelligence tests. Brain size is highly correlated to intelligence. We see this even as we develop, our brains keep growing and we get smarter as we age.
Girls brains grow and mature faster at younger ages than boys. We are observably different. It's laughable to say the genders have exactly equal intelligence after going through different stages of development to be honest. It's a level of brainwashing I think because it's distasteful what I'm saying.
Guys, I have women in my life that I love, I tell them they're dumb broads every time I see them!
What's with the personal attacks Greg? Calling me a douchebag and a bigot for having different beliefs, based on science just makes you look childish and weak honestly.
Now why don't you show me a study that proves men and women are exactly equally intelligent.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar...
The most recent study I found after a quick Google Scholar search, but it cites at least a dozen other such studies as well.
Pretty sure Chip Wynn is just a troll.
Are you asking how dissent works or if it's effective? The level of obtuseness is unreal.
How is going to a protest and waving a sign accomplishing anything? What's the point of ever making your voice heard right?
It's protecting reality.

Thank you. That article says that men and women differ in intelligence in different cognitive abilities ye have the same overall general intelligence. That doesn't make sense.
And now again upon reading they are conflating similar with no difference.
"The sexes are similar in general intelligence (Jensen, 1998); however, consistent differences emerge in some specific abilities (Reynolds, Scheiber, Hajovsky, Schwartz, & Kaufman, 2015; Zell, Krizan, & Teeter, 2015). If there is no sex difference in general intelligence, is it worth studying sex differences in specific abilities?"
Those two underlined are not the same things. We need to be precise and it's imprecise and incorrect to say men and women do not differ in general intelligence. They do. Similar is not the same as no difference.
I'm 100% pro-trans rights, I'm "woke". And I still find Stapes to be absolutely exhausting
I think the primary question is whether they have just "transitioned" and "identify as a female or if they have taken the necessary legal steps to formally officially legally changed their gender. If so since physical abilities are not a true factor I believe it should be a non issue.
Sort-of agree, but the biggest problem is that having a man at the final table (and now HU) is taking a mockery of the whole concept and broadcast. The recommendation on YouTube tells me "$1000 Ladies Championship - Final Table", but within 2 seconds of clicking on the stream it becomes blatantly obvious that there is a man playing. And everyone, including the insufferable & woke Joe Stapleton, is intent on not saying a word about it and pretending it's completely normal.
I can agree that this transgender person (who seems to have played as a man up to 2024) is unlikely to have any huge skill advantage based on being a man. It's just poor optics, and makes the whole idea of having a ladies event seem pointless.
Also, I cannot imagine that all female players who entered this event are so happy about this as they claim on Twitter and other places.
We actually debated this very possibility in a different thread. I started out unsure whether Chip Wynn was a troll or was just genuinely this stupid. Unfortunately, the general consensus was that he truly believes these things that he’s saying and that he’s actually just breathtakingly stupid.

Little Chippie DumDum:
Starts out by demanding to know why delusional trans people are terrified that people want to harm them.
Is shown a study by the UCLA Law School finding that trans people are four times more likely to be the victims of violent assault.
Can’t grasp that this statistic is the answer he demanded in the first place.
Proudly declares that he doesn’t need to look up statistics when he knows something to just be logically true.
Chippie, a few weeks ago I asked you, for the sake of the quality of dialog on this forum, to look up the Dunning-Kruger effect. Please share with the group what you learned.

Trans people claiming people want to kill them is delusion or hyperbole at best. I don't stand for unclear or imprecise language. No one is trying to legislate trans people to death which is the actual claim that Williams made if you go back and look at what I quoted.
Trans people are mentally ill. I'm sure the average trans person also has on average more diagnosed mental illnesses and personality disorders than a normal person. It's only logical that a crazy person is going to get themselves into situations where they are victims of violence more than a sane person. This is not the same as claiming somehow that politicians want to legislate them to death.
But again that has nothing to do with the actual insane statement that Williams made.
“A lot of these old guys respect me, but they’re still going to vote against me being alive.”
Do you think that the study that you provided makes this claim any less insane? What bill or law is being voted on that's proposing to kill transgender individuals?
So I ask again, why do all these trans loons think everyone is trying to kill them? Why are we buying into every delusion they have instead of telling them that's not happening? How can the person who interviewed Williams not have the balls to tell him, no one is trying to legislate him to death.
Been way too long since that's happened, he's just due. This is what he does though he gets a big stack and that allows him to play a little loose and stack people cause of it.
Way too long? He won the main and PPC last year. Hard to say if you are being facetious. The dude is crusher with a big stack. You gotta wonder if he's above Ivey and Negreanu now. Those 2 winnings have been sparse.
Who's committing violence against them? They often put themselves in risky and violent situations mostly involving others in their peer group.
If you think hordes or even a significant number of angry, transphobic, right wingers are prowling for trannies to beat up you're delusional. Not only that, we have many documented incidents of trans committing mass violence and communicating very clearly it's to lash out at those they perceive do not accept them. Newsflash, you can live any way you want and nobody has to accept any of it. Get over yourself.
Anyway, would like to see the WSOP offer some clarity on this in the offseason as you gotta think some number of men will be planning to enter this next year.
The WSOP is not going to say anything.
I don't think any men will try to enter next year, they would have to pay 10k, which has happened a handful of times only since they added the 1k/10k rule.
If you are suggesting that some man will try to claim they are a trans woman to only pay 1k, when they are clearly not, I highly doubt anyone is going to try that.

I think I might be a woman by the definition of the left. If it's something ephemeral that can't quite be nailed down to a specific definition, then how can anyone tell me I'm not a woman? I have beautiful red hair I can grow out and I'm 5'7" 125 pounds, I'd make a beautiful woman! Guys please forgive me for my previous transphobia, I'm just a transgender woman struggling with her identity! I will however be telling every woman that I play with in the ladie's event next year that as a transwoman I do still retain my much larger brain. Really though, even now who here could tell me I'm not a woman? If I accept y'alls definition of a woman is whoever thinks they are a woman that's so ambiguous to me I think I might be one....
You know what real oppression looks like? Go to a muslim country and be openly gay. It's literally a crime punishable by death in most (if not all) muslim countries. Throw your ass off a roof while singing a song level oppression. Targeted trans violenece in the USA is like what? Maybe one case per year I'd guess, probably less. I'm talking about being killed for being trans not being killed while being trans. Those with reading comprehension will understand the distinction. But yeah real state oppression is going on and it's being done by muslims. People with values we don't need to be importing into this country.

I'll take that bet.
Also, what would make someone clearly not a woman? A bulge?
So, the Main Event starts in 3 days, how about that!
The Grinder going to repeat?
Spoiler
I have to use the same technique with my kids to get them to stop arguing
I watched all 3 nights of ladies tournament. Congrats Chen well deserved.
Grinder massive chip lead with 3 left in 10K PLO
WSOP was supposed to televise but might be over before coverage starts. 2500 Big Bet mix one time?
I shall rephrase what i meant.
There are 4 (although I am sure someone will find more) entrant types I can see in this event.
1. Females, born female, live their life as a female.
2. Trans women, born male, live their daily lives as trans women, Aubrey williams.
3. Males, who live their daily lives as males but attempt to deceive the WSOP by making every attempt to look like a trans woman and sneak into the ladies event for 1k.
4. Trolls male puts on a silly wig, in an obvious troll attempt and says, yeah I am a trans woman/identify as a woman, let me in for 1k, just to make a scene or try to get WSOP to have to make some official statement/take a stance.
I highly doubt we will see someone in categories 3 or 4 attempt to enter the event. I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time, but it would surprise me if it was attempeted

You're not a douchebag and a bigot for having different beliefs. You're a douchebag and a bigot because you ARE a douchebag and a bigot. You are also a troll, and an asshole. Shall I go on?
Personal vendettas ITT.
