ilovejulie 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 How much do you have budgeted your Vegas trip later this month? You may get a penalty for cancelling your air tickets (if you are flying), but you can get a full refund on your hotel plus whatever you were planning on spending on gambling, food, entertainment, etc. Combine this with the $650 left in your account and I bet you are fairly close to $2000. I know this is not the answer you want to hear as everyone loves going to Vegas, but you need to admit to your wife what happened and tell her this is the sacrifice you are going to make to rectify the situation.This is the answer to your problems. It shows honesty, a plan of action, repentence, and punishment. All that for only the cost of missing one trip to Vegas, where you'd likely lose even more anyway... Link to post Share on other sites

Potsie P 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 LOL at this entire thread. LOL at the OP for sweating so much over 1350 dollars. Over two years??? If your wife is that mad at you, get a new wife. (and yes I am happily married before someone posts that I am clearly single). I cant believe you would even feel the need to lie.....if you had lost 13,000 I might understand but from your posts you make it sound as if 1350 is just a blip on the radar. Tell the truth.....not only because it is right but because this is not a big enough offense to bother lying about!To all the perfect boyfriends/husbands on this forum.....just wow. Never seen so many people climb up on their high horse at once. Every man lies to their wife. It is in our DNA to tell stupid lies and it is in their DNA to play detective and figure it out. (Note: the better your wife, the better she probably is at sniffing at your bullcrap. thats the way it goes.....any women worth having is going to catch you in your web of deceit more often than not).you took a very small amount of money out of a joint account to allow yourself to have a hobby you enjoy over the last two years. You have nothing to apologize for.....so dont lie and make it a situation you should be apologizing for.as for your poker game.....read small stakes hold em and take a break from the game for a month. then come back fresh and see if you cant show more discipline.I <3 CaneBrain--a married man who actually gets it.In fact, if Cane is NOT qualified to give such advice, it's only because he knows better than to sweat such a loss and just trust his mad skillz. Of course, it probably helps that he can just point to the rock on his wife's hand and say, "Well, hon, that's poker. Still mad?" Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure thats helping the guy.Don't get me wrong, I'm always interested to get an inside view on people who are successful at poker but this thread is hardly the placeMeh, just a small derail. And I've never lied to my gf about anything really. For all those who are saying "get off your high horse, it's in our genes to lie," it's really not. The fact of the matter is that I tell my gf everything because I simply don't have anything to be ashamed of in what I do. Even things in the past that I'm not proud of, I don't have a problem telling her. Maybe that seems unlikely to many of you, and if it does, I'm sorry that you can't fathom it. To all of her friends, I'm considered the model boyfriend - and I'm not saying this because I'm full of myself or anything. In fact, I don't come close to most in appearance/looks and I've never been nearly the most social guy, but I make up for it by being a good boyfriend and maintaining a great relationship.

IBFT 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 This is why I deposited twice. And yes, no matter how hard I try, I keep playing outside my roll.1) Be man. If its not 'that much money to you and your wife' own up to it. Say, "Look, woman, I spent the money, what?" Then follow up with how she's probably wasted more than 2 grand on shoes, hand bags, makeup, and affairs with the mailman.2) Stop sucking at poker. No. Seriously. If you want to 'win it back', if you want to be like SEMI-PRO, learn the hard knocks about poker that zee poker gods have been trying to teach you. Stop playing over your bank roll. Sitting in front of your PC for hours a day grinding isn't glamorous. You aren't some rich brazillionaire that is signing on for 3 days of high stakes poker just to keep the 7 pros in the black for the year. While some of this is tongue in cheek, the message is serious - you need to learn discipline. Its not all glitz, glam, and $100NL!3) Stop trying to say others have worse problems. Yea, some people have lost more money than you. They are usually single, and in school or poker pros. They arent making posts saying 'zomg my wife is gonna bobbitt me what should i do'. This is your problem. Saying to your wife "i lost $2000, but someone on FCP lost $2001" isnt really gonna make the situation better, right?4) Don't ask for real life advice on FCP. We don't know you or your wife (well... insert jokes here... or insert something here... Or... well... yes), this is your situation. You know her, you know how she'll react to the truth, to a lie. You need to decide whats best for you, your wife, and your marriage. Not 100 poker playing strangers. 5) Pics of wife. Link to post Share on other sites

Dratj 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Since I am also married we both have a say in how the family money get's spend (equallity, what you gonna do?) AND women in general (and thus also my wife) do have an issue if we spend a lot of time playing poker. Here is the solution we worked out:-For any money I desposit (been a while ) she gets the equal amount to go shopping. -I i win some nice pots, she gets a cut to go shopping.-If it takes up to mutch time, i cut back or in special circumstances (scheduld tournies and such) I broker a deal.F.e. lately I won some tickets for interesting tournies (>200K) but they where for three saturdays in a row.So if I could play all three I'd pay for here and 2 friends to go to a spa for a day.Some might called me wipped, but this is just turning a win-loose situation in a win-win AND it would keep my deposits in check since for any $100 i deposit it costs me $200.Yep, you are whipped.

finztotheleft 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Dude buy a cheap diamond ring or some piece of jewlery and suprise her with it and if pressed on the money lead her to believe that you bought it out of that account.Then tell her you are about to have 650 in your poker account and you are going to withdrawl 500 and put it back into the account. This play should work unless your wife knows her jewlery..Goodluck to you.. I would however start to rethink your online gambling.. smaller withdrawls and smaller limits if you are going to continue to play..Dude....she's female, she knows jewelryMost of us wouldn't be impressed if he had spent the whole $2000 on a diamond.
