I keep my poker money separately. I keep an envelope of the hundos I won stashed in my desk.

NEVER USE THESE BENJAMINS FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN MID LIMIT PLAY. DO NOT USE THIS MONEY FOR NO LIMIT. DO NOT PASS GO. GO DIRECTLY TO ENVELOPE WITH THIS CASH UPON YOUR RETURN FROM CASINO AND RETURN THE PROCEEDS, COMPLETELY IN TACT, DIRECTLY TO THE ENVELOPE. WHEN YOU GO OUT TO THE CASINO THE NEXT TIME, TAKE YOUR REQUIRED ALLOTMENT FROM ENVELOPE, AND REPEAT THIS PROCESS OVER AND OVER, AD INFINITUM. SHOW ENVELOPE TO GIRLFRIEND UPON REQUEST OR NAGGING. MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT FORGET TO USE EXCESS FUNDS ON VALENTINES DAY, BY CELEBRATING WITH JEWELRY, A GIFT OF A VACATION, AND REALLY GREAT DINNER DATE AND SHOW.

Remember, this method works well only if you are in fact, a winning player as you have stated.

So Al, you're advocating using the money earned for your girl and girl alone? This doesn't make too much sense.

Pope, I asked my girl about your situation and what as a girl she likes to hear;

She likes to hear that I'm saving my money, that I'm investing it. She likes to see me quit when I'm down and listen to her during the tough times. She likes it when I treat her well after disapearing for a few days.

She said she's glad that I talk to her because she gets to share in the good days and she's supportive during the bad days.

Again, best of luck.
