[Pokerpun]

Can I say that some of us are "Pot- Committed" to our Girlfriends/wives either becuse of kids or financial ties.

But need to let off steam here about how our SO just does not get poker, and realize that it can be profitable - OK it may be that I could make more money in other ways of working other than poker, but I doubt if I would enjoy or feel as free as I do playing poker.

I wonder if some women just don't value money you earn at poker as much as they would money you earned at some dull job.

e.g This summer I was marking exam papers at effectively about the same rate of earn I get for Poker (and in poker there was the outside chance of a big win in a MTT) and while my GF was happy to put up with various inconveniences and time commitments while I marked the exam papers, she would often give me grief about playing too much poker.

OK there is less variance in Exam marking ;-) but I doubt it was that which needled her.
