My wife hates poker...partly because she doesn't really get into card games, but mostly because she I'm not spending time with her. I get her point, but I really enjoy poker and unfortunately it's a hobby that seems to take a lot of time. If I' working on my Mustang and she needs me to come inside to help her with something, I just put down my tools - but if I'm at a poker table, sitting out for a couple
hands can be difficult, especially if I'm in a crunch situation or those hands are potentially game changing.
If I do win in a satellite, I still have yet another tournament to steal time away from her - and she doesn't seem to be persuaded by the fact that I could potentially win money.
I give kudos to you then for having your girlfriend be so enthusiastic for the game.
