Title: A new strategy is required Post by: ACE2M on July 23, 2005, 12:32:48 PM A little story of mine from the other night.
Having played 5 straight hours on line on a friday night with the missus generally whinging and moaning to the side of me i busted out of a tournament in 11th place and decided to take the missus out to save our relationship. The hand i busted out on was rather nasty when from the big bling i flopped top two pair and a K high flush draw, i bet the pot and got called by the only player left in, the turn brings my flush and i check hoping for a steal raise on the scare card which duly arrives. I get cocky and flat call, the river brings another suited card and i check expecting the usual desperation all in which duly arrives, i call and he shows the A high flush with a rag as his kicker. GRRRRRRRR. I get quite drunk with the missus and we have great time but i spend my whole time thinking about that stupid flat call on the turn. Later on at home whilst indulging in the post pub fumble i stop mid flow and request that she remind me to raise when i have set up a check raise opportunity. This has not gone down well at all and i have been informed it's 'the poker or me'. Pretty straight forward option really (she's a lovely girl but seriously). How can i keep them both? Any ideas? thanks Title: Re: A new strategy is required Post by: The_nun on July 23, 2005, 12:50:06 PM Try telling her ..

I reckon i just need to win a huge tourney and give her some cash for shopping and she'll change her tune. That idea keeps me playing, see what i did there (top pair and a flush draw or something like that 300+ hands a day and it's just a blur) Title: Re: A new strategy is required Post by: Maroon on July 23, 2005, 05:17:02 PM She's clearly analyzed the problem and criticised you.
Solution: 1: Buy her PokerTracker. 2: She can then analyze and criticise you all she wants (Helps you both) 3: Whilst she's engrossed you can play uninterupted online! ;D Title: Re: A new strategy is required Post by: ifm on July 24, 2005, 03:45:56 PM you got shares in pokertracker maroon?
