Title: should you/did you/would you encourgae your missus to play poker?
Post by: outragous76 on November 29, 2009, 06:39:56 PM
OK - from a personal point of view I would have no problem with my g/f playing poker - infact not only would i encourage her but i also think she would be good.


She reads people unbelievably in real life situations from the smallest of details (and no its not just a woman thing).

She has great gut feel, and the other day from nowhere (when Im playing) (and she only understands the asbolute basics of how the game is played - like not even hand rankings properly)

"oh look you have flopped 2 pr" (i have KT on a KQT board)

i muttered somethign about being about to loose the hand - when she says

"yes but you have card removal so it is unlikely he has you beat right now"

i nearly fell over. She knows nothing about poker really and comes out with that?!??!?!!?

OK - so it could be just a conincidence - but the fact she was even thinking like that made me think she should at least give the game a go?

thoughts?

Sounds like your fiance would be ideal, BUT do you really want your life to be one long poker story?

You could be in danger of letting poker consume your relationship - at least at first anyway.  Personally, I love it that me and my fella have mostly separate activities/jobs/hobbies.  And that I wouldn't dream of boring him with poker crap, like he wouldn't dream of doing the same with golf shite......;)

My gf started playing poker at the same time as me in '03 and she has become an excellent player. I can play poker/talk poker anytime I like no hassle which is good. She often plays the same tournaments as me where we go 50/50. On Friday she chopped at the Broadway and gave me half after I busted early. Two Fridays ago she chopped the same tournament and brought home 1k and gave me half after I busted early. In fact these days I bust early and yet still turn a profit a lot of the time. Yes, I like that my gf plays poker.

Nah, she doesn't do Blonde. In fact she thinks people who use forums are generally sad no-life feckers. What she does do though is sit behind me when I play online just watching and learning, very much like when a very powerful lion takes it's cubs out hunting for the first time.

Me an Mrs,Crow started playing at the same time, but she is much luckier than me.

She's won enough to get a new car and pay for a weeks holiday in August for us this year.

I play super tight and try to get to final table, but she can read players,and knows when to call and raise

Actually she thinks I am a God in human form and a poker genius. I have neither the time nor the inclination to argue the point with her.

I hate when your getting with a girl, and they are like. "so If I give you £20 will you turn it into hundreds for me" Being a student I get this all the time when girls find out I play poker. Super tilting. Strip poker ftw though, can literaly just make a rule up why your hand is the winner.

Is it tilting cos you'd just lose the 20 quid? You should say yes just to get a shag imo

I got my GF into poker purely so i could play more. She always moaned about me goin off leaving her so i taught her the basics and got her playing in a pub poker league with me. Not only did she make the final 2 weeks after starting she also managed to finish 2nd and just miss out on a GUKPT seat. Granted she did totally nit up on the final table just wanting to climb up the pay ladder.
However there are downsides to this as if im ever dealing and she loses a big hand guess whos fault it is! If i didnt know better i would expect her to be Devilfish's daughter from the abuse i get!
All in all its a good thing as she doesnt mind playing poker live twice a week now and doesnt moan when i play a few hours online most nights a week as she understands the commitment i need to put in.

I'm playing poker
The person talking to me is good at poker

The thought of a woman nattering on to me about poker when I'm not interested would send me over the edge.
