A female poker player who has been in the game for over a decade plans to disguise herself as a man and compete in the World Series of Poker Main Event in a bid to show that gender bias is still a problem within poker.

Having a baby sucks balls. Cleaning the birth pool is not for the fainthearted. There is the lack of any form of sexual contact. But the ultimate piss-take for me is the inability to go to the cinema.

I’ve been waiting to watch Black Panther for over a month. My wife insisted on seeing it with me but given we don’t want anyone to babysit (I’ve seen the TV shows) it was never going to happen. Last night we went separately. It wasn’t worth the wait.

My wife told me she cried at various points through the movie because of the way the writer showed the women to be such strong characters. There is a scene when Black Panther goes to the casino to meet a bad guy. He takes two women with him. My initial thought was, “Why isn’t he taking the guys?”
