My dog hates it when I play online poker

Seems obvious to me.......... she wants to play. Go buy another computer and open an account for her.

I have had her fill out a march madness bball bracket b4, where I passed the #1,2,and 3 seeds to the sweet sixteen, and let her pick the rest of the tourney. She beat over a 3rd of the people who entered.

Don't know if I can back her in poker. Might let her try micros, but this is probably a pretty bad idea EV wise.

Dogs are very sensitive to your mood. Perhaps your dog is responding to the normal (???) stress you are feeling when you play. If he connects a certain activity with increased stress for you he may try to stop you from engaging in that activity.

She doesn't try and stop me from watching Husker football games, college bball, or any nfl game I invest in.

I agree with your general assertion of most dogs' ability to detect stress, but I don't think this is the case here.

maybe in her past experiences when ur at the computer playing poker you usually break things and yell... she notices the pattern and wants to prevent another outbreak

When I used to take her to a pet clinic to get quaffed (I do it myself now)

You can get thrown in jail for quaffing your dog where I live.

my GSD sits and stares at me totally upset at the slightest comment or reaction I might have playing.

The dog doesn't actually notice or care; you are projecting your poker-induced feelings of anxiety and concern onto the dog.

Ummm, no. But thanks.

Miraculous! She beat 1/3 of the people after you eliminated the weakest 48 of the 64 teams for her. That's, ummmm, impressive.

I don't get this. Is your "dog" your wife? I suck at reading between the lines.

I hate it when my dog starts playing, he's rubbish. whenever i go for a toilet break, he's there, playing no limit, losing my money.
