LIPS Poker Tour Announces Surprise Tournament!

The LIPS Poker Tour, one of the most successful women’s only national poker tournament series out there, is doing some very big – and ummm, unusual things – for their upcoming 5th season.

From what I’ve been reading around a few poker forums, the LIPS Tour is going to be holding their very first Men’s ONLY Poker Tournament.  If you’re just as boggled as I am about this, then please feel free to comment on this post, lol.  My good friend Cathy over at 4Flush.com wrote a very interesting article on it that won’t be posted officially for another few days – however, you can check out an excerpt of it below:

The Ladies International Poker Series (LIPS) is set to host their first ever Men’s Only Poker Tournament, which will be held during the Ladies International Poker Series Championship Weekend at the Golden Nugget Casino, located in Las Vegas Nevada.

Maybe the wives and girlfriends just wanted the men to have something to do? Sort of like the old time slot machines.

“Men often ask me why there are no “men only” poker tournaments and my answer to that is – if you want one, make one!” said Lupe Soto, LIPS Founder. ‘We’re happy to officially host the first one!” she added.

Now I’m all for men and women being equal, but this is one of my favorite poker tours because it’s a time where women can hang around women and just play poker!  No worrying about certain men looking down at us for not being “as good” as them at the poker tables, no unusual flirting, none of that nonsense that comes along with being a woman these days when you sit down at a table in the casinos.  Sorry boys, I just think that after what we put up with sometimes with our opposite sex counterparts that we just deserve a little poker time for just us ladies!  LOL.
