How to tell girlfriend about amount of money spent playing poker

[Cactus Jack]

Frankly, there's very little you can do, my friend. If she doesn't understand the basic math of poker, then all you say will go in one ear and out the other. Some people don't get it, like congressmen or my mother. They will always equate gambling with luck.

My ex was bipolar, and when she sat in front of a slot machine, she was playing until it was gone. Yet, she hated my playing poker and couldn't believe I wasn't just getting lucky. She never got comfortable, and we split, although more the bipolar part than the poker part.

My only advice is never surrender your penis. If she owns it, she'll own everything else. It sounds as if you might already be in negotitiations for a Neville Chamberlain peace accord. Man up, or lose it. No other way to put it.
