Default Re: Wife offers deal

Edit to add: The one place where a deal with your wife makes good sense is with the TIME it takes to play... That can be a sticky situation - especially once a baby comes into the mix...

Ah ha! This is a point I failed to make clear when I spoke of the significance of vested interest. With few days off and two kids, my poker time is limited. I can't be donkin around at the $40,$50's and expect to make the same money. I think MicroBob makes a good point with the 1k enabling me to consistantly play the bigger tournys and I forgot who said learning to manage better my own bankroll is best, but they're right.

For the record, via direct deposit, I give the wife 4k a month for expenses/bills. What's left is mine for personal use. Men need toys and beers with the boys. My wife gives me that and after 16+ years of marriage, it works great.

The $40-50's I was talking bout are the Bike Nooners/Nights.
Though I'm starting to like HG more and more. I play the bigger Hustler tournys every chance I get.
