Default girlfriend and poker

Hey all.

so here is the story...

My girlfriend is fairly anti-gambling, so she doesn't like me playing poker. She accepts it, but under sufferance. She doesn't understand enough about the game and variance, etc to realise that I am a very conservative gambler and am making money playing poker (and likely to continue to win long term)

I explain it as my social time - instead of going to the pub with my mates we play poker. This works ok. HOWEVER i can't apply this to playing online. This is where I make my money, and when she wants to spend time together (most of the time), I've gotta make an excuse.

How do I get myself some more online time short of dumping her?

You cant. She's gotta go. I've been there my friend, you're not going to get your online time with a psycho girlfriend.

Find a girlfriend who loves money. Your current girl obv hates monies.

If she keeps talking, just put "it" in her mouth.

i've done pretty well explaining the variance of poker to ignorant people. i think the main factor is confidence.

you may have to choose between her and poker.

if you want serious advice, post in psych
