EXAMPLES
Playing Chauvinistic Men
When faced with an aggressive woman player, chauvinistic men tend to react with hyper aggression of their own when they fear their hand is second best.
They try to win they do have the best hand, they’ll often play aggressively, but not hyper aggressively.
They go on tilt and reach predictably, overextending themselves with second-best hands.
For example, say a tight, chauvinistic player has opened with a raise from an early position.
You should raise with most hands. Even a hand like 8 
5 
is worth raising with.
The reason for the raise is to begin a determination of whether he has a big pair or two big cards.
Because he opened with a raise from an early position he almost surely has one of those two hands.
Either something like A 
A or A K . Whatever your hand is, just raise. He’ll reraise.
If the flop comes something like A 10 2 
and he bets, you should probably give it up right there.
Just fold. If the flop comes something like J 8 4 and he bets, you should raise.
If he reraises then you can be pretty sure he has two overcards and you have the best hand, but you should just call.
The reason you should just call is to encourage him to bet again on the turn and the river.
Unless an Ace or King comes on one of the last two cards you can be fairly sure your pair of 8s is the best hand.
If no big cards come by the river, you can sometimes even raise for value on the river.
He’ll call you with an A K .
If he just calls your raise, you should worry that he has a large overpair, but the good thing that will probably happen now is that he’ll check on the turne, thinking you’ll bet and he can check-raise.
Disappoint him.
Check. If you don’t improve to three of a kind or two pair, then you should probably fold when he bets on the river.
This kind of behavior is very predictable with a chauvinistic player when he’s playing against an aggressive woman.
