Acid_Knight 2 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 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.You're WHIPPED!If you lose money and have to redeposit, she gets $$. If you play well/get lucky and win, she gets $$. If you want to play for more than an hour, you have to send her and 2 friends to go to a spa.LOL unequalmarriageaments.

krup24 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 you shoulda just posted this the BAW threadyour problem is that you deceived your wife. whatever i've done it. lying about winning more than i did or losing less. your human it's cool. gambling is like a drug. poker wise you're learning, posting more hands, taking our critisism. it's gonna help you. what that won't help is taking shots outside your roll. if your in it for the race and not the marathon then fine by all means take a shot. i had deposited a ton of times before i was a winning player. sometimes 3x in a week at $100 a pop then playing $50 tables cause i was clueless. i've been there and most other people have no matter how ignorant they seem.

Acid_Knight 2 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Spoken like a guy that isn't married. LMAO. So self righteous....People talk all the time about how crap changes when you're married. It depends on how you communicate with whoever you're with and a whole crapload of other things. That scenario he described is comically bad. It's like he can't do anything without "bribing" his wife first, which is a joke. Link to post Share on other sites

He'll post twice a night and sign off saying, "Well, I gotta go. Wife wants me to ... "It's always the tough talkers who take the biggest falls ...The girlfriend likes that I play cards. She even says things like "when you're done playing cards, let me know and I'll come over."So, part of the time, I just tell her that she can come over whenever she wants and I'll stop playing. See how that works? She's understanding and I see that and make her life easier. It's called communication and compromise. It's not like I have to pay some tax to her so that I would be allowed to play cards, which is what that other guy described. It's ridiculous.And like I said, winning $$ makes it all ok. Trust me.

DelftDragons 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 It's not like I have to pay some tax to her so that I would be allowed to play cards, which is what that other guy described. It's ridiculous.I see how it comes across and i did post it that way, but it is not how it is.1) We both get an equal amount of $$ to spend on hobbies, i my case poker, in hers shopping.2) When I win she gets a cut. That's just sharing the wealth and now matter what you say your girlfriend likes it as well if you give here cash when your winning. You say so yourself:And like I said, winning $$ makes it all ok. Trust me.3) For the spa trip, She doesn't mind me playing poker, but three saturday nights in a row is a bit mutch. We both work alot and spending time together is also valuable, so I understand if she is not happy with that. So sending her and 2 friends to a spa has two distinct advantages:1) Making my wife happy.2) Having the house to myself so I can fully concentrate on the 500K tournie.

Trust me.Well it's easy to get the girlfriend to comply with poker when it's making you 5 figures a month. I've even installed all the poker sites on my girlfriend's laptop so that I can get my sessions in when I go visit her. She's completely understanding about it, as I'm making astronomical amounts compared to a normal job. It's also easier when you can be like "Baby I made XXXX today, wanna go shopping?"

So, probably won't install stuff on that. Link to post Share on other sites

CaneBrain 95 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.
