Popped my husband's poker cherry tonight, sort of

Tonight the man who "hates card games" was fiddling with some of the chips I recently bought, and to my great surprise, he suggested that we play a bit. (Miracles do happen!)

We sat down with cards and chips at the dining room table and each bought in for $10, and we played .25/.50 limit for a couple of hours heads-up. He donned silly sunglasses, played terribly, usually moaned when he had a bad hand and "oohed" when he had a good one, but by the end of our session he'd caught on enough -- and sucked out enough -- that he took me for $1.30. (In my defense, since it was his first time I didn't exactly bring my "A" game.)

God help me if he ever wants to go to a casino.

Another convert to the masses lol

As the old saying goes, "Don't knock it til you try it. "

Throw some strip poker at 'em. You'll be playin every night then!!!

Anyway, sounds like you guys had fun. Him winning will help getting him to play again. And yes, keep him away from the Casino.

I'm sure if you have a shared bank-account then your motivation wasnt on top form.

Play him for a weeks worth of household chores. Then you'll have a game!

Ahh the classic poker conversion.....
