Re: Does your significant other mind poker?
[ QUOTE ]
She doesn't like it, I don't care, I play whenever I want, wherever I want, and as much as I want, even if this ends up breaking up our relationship. [/ QUOTE ] Amend that to say: [ QUOTE ] She doesn't like it, I kinda care, I try and play as much as possible while still hanging out with her every day, if we break up because of it, its her fault, bitch [/ QUOTE ] and I'm good.

Re: Does your significant other mind poker?
Me: "I'm going to play a tourney tonight, I might be home late"
The Wife: "That's OK honey, if you're home late it means you're winning." She's the best. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Re: Does your significant other mind poker?
We just had to cancel a planned trip to Vegas (logistical problems) and she was more upset than I was!!

Re: Does your significant other mind poker?
Ugh, it looks like my girlfriend is the least supportive/understanding of the group thus far. She hates poker and everything related to it. Fair enough, I can't expect my significant other to take an interest in everything I do. So I never talk about it with her and I only play it when we're away from each other. However I still receive frowns of disapproval whenever she overhears conversation between my friends and I about it. She sees it as addictive in nature and that any time spent playing is harmful regardless of whether I win or lose. Initially I tried to share my long term records and statistics with her to reassure I'm not going to bankrupt myself, but that only made her more worried because of the time and effort that I obviously put into keeping accurate records. Don't get the wrong impression--she's an otherwise wonderful girlfriend but when it comes to poker she's a nightmare.

Re: Does your significant other mind poker?
How much of your profits do you redirect her way?

I could buy her a big ticket item with the profits, but I'm afraid it could backfire like the time when I tried to show her my win/loss records.

Re: Does your significant other mind poker?
My girlfriend doesn't understand it. She think that I am losing all of this money because she will hear me talking to friends about losing 30 or 40 bucks in a session. She doesn't understand that most of the time I make that back and that I am acquiring a bonus on top of it.

Re: Does your significant other mind poker?
She's quite supportive. At first she was worried when I would tell her I lost 10-20 playing .5/1. Now when I tell her I dropped a g last night, she handles it better than I do.
When I'm in a bad swing she reminds me about the long run. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] -Criag

she's pushing me to quit my job and play poker... [/ QUOTE ] In order to sway me on our upcoming move to Arizona, my wife said, "Vegas is like five hours away, and when I get my degree and make $100,000/year, you can quit your job and play poker full time - live and/or online. Think about it!" She had me at, "Hello." [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] PB
