The question seems to apply only to the top rank of poker players. If so, men who hold and have held the major titles have a clear edge. But, if one considers the general run of players, that edge disappears , or at least fades.

Once upon a time I would have said women undoubtedly played worse than men. But today, with all of the information available, my experience tells me small difference, if any, exists.

Most poker players don't play well. Those that put the effort in do better and continue to improve. Upper body strength counts for naught in the game, so the skills of women have no inherent limit.
