Does your significant other mind poker?

[pipster]

Well, I was playing poker when we met... and I paid for her dream wedding and honeymoon to Paris with poker winnings. So she is pretty supportive of it now.

I can't believe the "so I can make us money" option is in the lead. That signals a collective perception problem to me.

It's also the option I voted for, too.

My husband has no problem. While i am not a winning player, (until recently PT had me just slightly neg) the bonuses are nice.

I picked this one, but you know you'd have to replace her with him...but not always -_-

"Her BB/100 is 3.5 and she taught me how to 3 bet and isolate the maniac preflop then check raise the turn and get overcalls on the river; her favorite game is $1000/2000 7-stud HI LOW"

and most girls wont care unless it's a) making them broke or b) killing the quality time you spend together... lucky for me...we can play hands and sit and goes together

she's pushing me to quit my job and play poker...

"Poker paid for that ring on your finger" is a great line to have in any argument on the issue!

HAHA I won 2 shamrock 7 jackpots within 15 minutes at a dumpy casino in NC and used the money to buy my wife a nice ring years ago. Now when I come back from playing video poker broke she cant get mad because "Honey if it weren't for video poker you wouldnt have that colorless diamond on your finger"

It irritates her right now, but when we spend $5000 on a week long vacation later this year, she'll start cracking the whip to me to the tables, lol.

Yeah, she hates how the new big screen TV and home theater rig kinda dominate the living room, but she will begrudgingly admit that it's the best damned TV picture and sound she's ever seen and heard.

Wife is incredibly supportive, although she does expect me to give the kids a bath and get them ready for bed before I go to the Poker Cave to play. The fact that I Neteller money to her once a month to cover the mortgage (and other bills some months) helps quite a bit.

looks like I'm not the only one, money can ease the pain for any woman. My girlfriend used to get really mad b/c I played so much, but now I try to only play at night. I am funding a trip to Europe for us in June so that shut her up for a while.

I have tried to get her to learn, but that might be a lost cause. Oh well. I enjoy my time. She doesn't like to be in the room while I play, mainly b/c I yell at who ever is in the room when I take a bad beat, helps with the whole tilting thing.
