I'm scolded by my girlfriend, that I play a lot)

[Jblocher1]

My girlfriend likes to sit and watch me play online and I usually talk out a lot of my decisions to her and she's learned a good amount herself from it. She understands that it's my job when I'm not studying and when I go a week or two without playing she usually asks me if I'm ok. She's a high school senior too which is probably a good indicator that she's a keeper

I am starting a relationship right now, so I will discover this hahaha But I hope not, and I will teach her how to play poker too haha

What happens is that she can give her opinion.
If he wants a future, they have to talk about the game.
she does not intrude, she just wants an explanation.

I will try to explain to her everything and arrange it on the shelves)

I do not think you're the only one hahaha.
it must be that you bet too much with little profit, make him see gains and for sure he will love you while playing poker hahaha.


I do not know women who do not fall in love when they see the fat wallet
and obviously dedicate more time to she

I'm single (divorced). Poker is a very time consuming activity. I would think it would be hard to balance time between a relationship and playing. Maybe it's more about time instead about the money. . Good luck to you.

And my wife is never allowed to play poker, quarrel with me through it ... Although I still have not lost a cent.Bueau

Maybe it's not about poker, but about the fact that you pay less attention to your girlfriend. But money of course is also an important point, as few players play a plus. In most cases, the game goes into negative. Especially the last time I see fewer plus players ... Poker turns into something like a casino ...

Women will always seem to scold you for something, especially when it comes to money.

perhaps this is true because of the attention ...

Hi.
My girlfriend also believes, that I pay her little attention and spend too much time on poker. Obviously, you need to try to find a compromise.

it is difficult to find a compromise)

Kurganov and Liv Boeree, don't have this kind of problem

 

[mitchy boi]

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but Ill do my best to explain. Assuming I read your post right. The reason I don't lose my mind, is cause...

1. I never play with money I cant afford to lose.

2. I have a level of understanding of the game, or games. If I were to loose, I know I either played it right, or I made a bad play. If I made a bad play or read, typically I will rebuy, continue to play, take my notes, and try again. If I got it in right, and I lose. Then luck is not on my side and I stop.

Now as for getting addicted. It's funny you brought that up. From the age of 21-till about 25 I lost about 10k lifetime. I couldn't stop, obviously had a problem, and refused to do what it took to get better. Finally I gave it up at 25. Then right around when I turned 30, I decided to try playing again. I was in a better spot in my life, had some extra income coming in, and felt comfortable playing with money I could loose. This time though, I vowed to actually learn the game, get some coaching, train myself to review hands, and actually get better...

Since then as of Jan. of this year. (I, 35 now) I have made back everything I lost during the time I could say I was "addicted".

I hope that help clear up a little confusion for you.

That is pretty much everything you could want to hear, no matter who they are to you people will automatically think the worst .

 

[IlyaSavinov]

familiar situation, my advice is not to dive so deeply into the game of poker, attention to his girlfriend in the first place

 

[Mootizit]

Take her out on a romantic dinner whenever you bink a tourney or achieved 6bb^ per 100 hand winrate on cash game, that shud solve the problem hehe.

 

[Andrei Nesterenko1]

my girlfriend tells me the same thing, but it does not stop me, because poker is my favorite game

 

[willko01000]

you are not alone

This is catching im afraid many poker players have disgruntled partners but you can bet if you won a million they would love you for it. Thats the catch!

Good luck at the tables!

 

[adueno81]

how is the bankroll management goin? I tried but i didnt profit much

 

[deeggr]

My ex used to say that poker was my problem with her and this greatly influenced her decision to get apart.

 

[martina pinto]

I think you should leave your girlfriend because she probably does not know what passion is or what poker really is, so leave her and find a girlfriend who will play poker.

 

[Mepper95]

Tell her that she should be concerned about her own finances and you'll do the same. If for whatever you feel the need to stay involved with someone that worries about something they don't understand or is just a control freak then tell her you are just playing play money.

The part with 'tell her you are just playing play money' sounds like a very bad idea to me. I am a woman myself and for sure she will found out you were lying 🙈.



In my case My boyfriend started playing poker. First I was very sceptical myself, but after he explained me how it worked I was convinced he was playing with an innocent amount of money and I even started playing myself.


So maybe it will work to watch some livestreams on twitch together, learn her some strategies, open an account for her and start with some freeroll tournaments. At least you can try? For sure I would be very very mad if I would find out my boyfriend is lying about how much money he spend.

Work life balance is important but so is relationship balance, get her involved. if she like it great if not you tried, My wife inst a fan of me playing too much but we have come up with a good compromise.

 

[winston kay]

Well I guess your girlfriend is the boss..lol..jk!

 

[Joshua_Kane]

My gf likes to throw out the "addiction" word all the time, but she's unwilling to sit down and actually try to understand the game. I've been trying to educate mine, I suggest you do the same. If it doesn't work, maybe we find new girlfriends.
