As with most things it is hard to improve unless you are putting in the time to practice and learn.
Good point that (if they are interested) trying to involve the people close to you in the learning process could benefit you all... especially if they don't understand what poker entails.
Explaining what you learn and why you check/bet/raise to another person will help you establish good fundamentals.
Good luck!

You have to play if you want to play and if you can play!

This is the best response IMO, just something extra to add:
Never forget, key to a relationship is communication, ask her why she feels like that, try come to a reasonable solution for both sides. I don't think she would mind you playing as a hobby if the hours were not exaggerated and you weren't blowing rent money.

If poker is consuming way too much of your free time and you don't show interest in getting out and doing things with her, that could be a problem for the relationship. Sometimes it is hard for a person to realize that they are not having good balance in their life. Try to explain to her that poker is something you enjoy, but you obviously can't play 24/7 and be consumed by it.

This is a strange topic, but I wonder if I'm the only one?
Just my girlfriend is afraid that I will lose a lot of money)
Haha)
It's just she really scolds me for poker !!!
And I love him and play it!
Just sleep with her more often, that will fix it.

This is NOT about poker.
It is about the power struggle in every relationship.
She is trying to exert control.
And, that is ok, and normal....and probably she loves you - otherwise she wouldn't even try.
It's just that every time she says the word "poker" I hear "Me, me, me, me, me."
Good luck !

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.
Is "His money His money", or Is "His money your money"? For you to get mad about "His money", as If It were "Him spending your money, Is absurd". While, everyone likes to "Spend money, and buy things, and Just have money to (Have money)", It's another thing to (Control), someone else's finances.
No-One has the right to, "get upset over someone else's spending habits", Especially If It's not "Your money that the said person Is spending In the first place".
Now, had you both, decided (We're gonna have a Joint bank account), and each paycheck, we're gonna save X/Amount from our pay cheques In our (Joint account), and split the bills 50/50, and the have a couples night out, and keep X/Amount to do with (As we each well plz separately from our own pay cheques). Than you later find out, that (Your partner has been dipping Into the Joint account), and spending/splurging on It on poker (That's understandable), for you to get upset over.

I have been with the same woman for over 20 years and unless you're spending an absurd amount of money online, your girlfriend/wife probably just wants you to spend more time with her unless she's a gold digger and she thinks every cent should be spent on her.
In case of the latter, push her aside, gold diggers are nothing more than con-artists.
