Does your significant other mind poker?

[KKbluff]

I once told my girlfriend i could buy her a nice engagment ring with my bankroll and still have money left over... Ever since that moment all of her poker complaints have ceased. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

she's pushing me to quit my job and play poker...

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]

Actually I'm married (it'll be 30 years in June) and the wife enjoys it as much as I do. She plays free tables during the day and I play at nite, mostly .5/1 limit. During my recent downswing she hasn't been too crappy about it (how much did you lose last nite? are you busted yet?) But I told her to expect that when I was hotter than hell before that.

Mine hated it when I first started, gradually softened her stance and now wants me to turn pro (I don't want to).

What kind of a lousy Go match is this?

One of the first games i ever palyed on a full board on a streetcorner in China with some out of work drifter guy. He gave me 6 stones and I needed them all. Funny to look back on though.

Dammit, you mean I could have gotten away with saying I COULD buy an engagement ring without actually buying the damn thing.

Nice hand, sir!

hmmmm...

not a lot of options for us heterosexual girls in this poll...

even though I probably anyways fall into that category that Shoe mentioned, "I am destined to be single forever because I play poker online all day and never get out of the house" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Check out this thread;

Any single females who love poker want to meet up for a drink?

just make sure you tell a friend where you're going and don't let yourself be guided towards the trunk of the car.

I'm rather surprised that 10 of you (so far) have wives whos favorite game is $1000/2000 7-stud HI LOW

Where do you find such dream women?

Two plausible explainations:

1) One lucky man with multiple personality disorder who keeps forgetting that the others already voted.

2) Several guys who are smoking P.O.T.

I dated a girl I was absolutely crazy about and she dumped me because she said she could never get used to me playing poker for a living. She said it would be fine if I was a garbage man making $10 an hour, but making way more playing poker was no good. No offense to any garbage men out there, by the way. God forbid I do something I love and can make a decent living at it. I used every logical argument I could think of, but it didn't do any good. Sigh. This was months ago and I'm still bitter about it.
