My wife loves to watch me play poker, but sometimes she blurs my strategy, some times shes right,``that guy is bluffing, call him´´.

My wife doesn't like watching at all

She would cringe at having to bluff and wouldn't be able to take the swings. At this point, she simply asks if it was a good night. If the answer is no, I follow with a reminder that I've been playing with other people's money for some time now.

Absolutely not haha
She just ignores it and lets me play

My wife supports me in my passion for poker.
See the effort I put into improving my game studying videos or reviewing my hands, I think that's why I can still try to be professional without neglecting my other activities, of course.

sometimes when I play a good tournament or cash games at good rates, my wife looks at how I play poker and supports me morally and it is very pleasant for me that I have support from my loved one!

I taught my wife how to play as a TAG player, minus the poker math. I did teach her how to count outs and that's what she relies on. But since I've taken on a LAG persona and the massive ups and downs that come with it, I think she plays better than me now.

my girfriend is very helpfull with me.when she see me geting lost in the gambling fever she hits me with a pan in the head and all problems are solved.besides my headache

Hi.
I do not need help while playing poker. The most important thing for me is to be focused on making the right decisions. Concentration, always allows me to get good results.
Good luck.

That's funny you mention that! I've often considered teaching my spouse or a friend a very ABC TAG strategy to use as a control while I try different styles such as LAG to see if it's worth incorporating to my game!

Nope, it is just me living or dying from the sword. Makes life whole lot less complicated.

Greatest example of help playing online poker was a friend's girlfriend who would bring him a vessel to piss in and empty it, so he wouldn't have to leave the computer. That's a little too much help if you ask me.

I always play by myself and don't like to someone standing behind my back or just present in the room. It interferes and distracts me.

My mon is always supporting me with all my goals, she doesn't understand too much about the game but she is always there telling me that I can do everything. She is a really good person and Im so glad that she is in my life.

One of my closest friends is always supporting me too, he is always joking and telling me that Im a bad player but he truly believe in me and he wish the best for me so I guess Im really lucky and hopefully they will be in my life for a long time

I don’t really count on my spouse’s help as she doesn’t like me playing poker. Does not interfere with that thanks.

Wife and poker do not match, even more how possessive she is. Separate soon is the best solution ahahaha

I think two players working together can actually improve your game. The other person may see different things that you may not have thought of.

No way. I hardly get to play much any more.

Sure. Why be w/someone who wouldn't? She's so cool she'll even take over if I have to leave for a while or whatever. I've had to leave and came back and she's tripled my stack. I know, lucky me.

I wouldn't want to be disturbed or threatened !!! Love to play one !

My wife hates poker so ultimately I play more around her

Though I'm sure she could spot a bluff a mile off or maybe that's just me she can spot

It would be interesting to let her play a few games though I find she has a very strong sence of a person's intentions though how she would react to online p lay wpuld be really fun to watch

My wife hates everything about poker. She thinks it takes up way too much of my time. And she probably is right. But I just play free rolls so it doesn't cost me anything but time. Let's play poker.

I'M DONE. LMFAO!

Fortunately or unfortunately,no.Sometimes my daughter watches me play...

Unfortunately no, nobody knows how to play and thinks it's a waste of time.I really wish someone could play or at least support.

Yes and no. She reads better than I do, I think, but I'm a more patient player. Our playing styles are complementary, but we seldom play together.

What a perfect night for me to run across this post haha.

At first my wife hated me playing poker. She always had a long list of more important tasks I could have completed during my poker marathons (I am definitely a binge player).

However as time passed I started winning more, and of course made sure I spent the winnings in ways that would make her appreciate my poker habit .

I got her into playing by having her take over tournaments when I had something quick around the house to fix or a quick errand to run. Well, it seems she took a liking to it, as she got me banned from BCP a few months back by registering an account on the same laptop I had previously played on.

I was able to straighten that out with BCP customer service & she has been playing freerolls/micro stakes ever since. She just took 1st in the bestpokercoaching freeroll tonight.. Her very first win, I'm so proud.

no, only distracts and says to put everything

I prefer being left alone while playing poker

On the forum, write only in English !

Howdy :O) I love doing things together with my wife so I think it is cool. There are times I like to play alone and there times where we might tag team a long tournament together. :O)

In my experience they have only done the opposite of "help" ... lol

Mostly just because a realtionship usually requires significant time and attention and the tournaments I play all day long usually tend to take away from that time.

Would be nice to try dating someone with a similar interest at some point
