    Poker is there 24/7 don't throw away a good relationship over a card game, your probably only playing for a few quid anyway..is it worth it?

    Just as an addition I have been with my missus for 10 years. I often use the "I'll be there after this hand/game" line, and it gets me SOME leeway  -so long as after that hand or game I make really sure I am in bed ;)

    After 10 years I do get a little leeway...but quite rightly..not much for poker :)

    As a tip - goto bed until she sleeps then get the laptop out after wards seems a good compromise :)

    Mine asks me if I will bring the laptop up and play poker whilst she cuddles me.  Winning gives her the horn!

    just tell her that her sister didnt mind you playing poker all night, and if she carries on with that attitude that you are going back to her!!!

     I hear Baldy Orfs ex was a Polish lass called Peesha but he had to give her up coz TK peed himself everytime the Orf said hello to her. Although to be fair to TK, the age thing has to take part of the blame.

    hi dazler, here is my equation for girlfriends and poker

    girlfriend a bit peed off   =  withdraw 5% of bankroll for chocolates

    girlfriend quite annoyed = withdraw 10% of bankroll for a bottle of champagne

    girlfriend angry = withdraw 15% of bankroll for chocolates and champagne

    girlfriend shouting and refusing to make tea ect = withdraw 20% of bankroll for shoes

    girlfriend has a fit of rage and storms out of the house = withdraw 25% of bankroll for a posh meal at a nice restaurant

    girlfriend goes flopwit loopy and threatens to leave you = withdraw 35% of bankroll for a weekend of shopping

    girlfriend withdraws nookie = withdraw 80% of bankroll for a holiday in southern france


                      hope this helps

    Seeing as this post has been given a high voltage blast of ECG, I've had some further thoughts...

    The key to this, is the same as anything else in life: Honesty. Don't pretend to be someone or something else – just be you (or something very approximate). 

    Rather than relying on the vacuous veneer of fibs, that you 'might make a fortune in poker, and be able to afford gems and holidays', just baldly state (sorry Mr. Orford), that you enjoy a recreational game of cards. There are far worse things to be into in life (trust me on this... I collected stamps and Sea Monkeys as a kid... Man, that was a waste of  2 shillings).

    There's no point in complicating life any further, just be true – in everything.

    Poker is your hobby, it's under control, and you enjoy everything about it, including the social aspect. It's you... it's what you do. Let her know that it's merely Golf for Chavs... Hunting for the humane... or Polo for the impoverished... and she's sure to get the general gist.

    But here's the rub... you still need to achieve balance and compromise in any successful relationship. So, in the same breath, try telling her, or him (or 'it', if you're going out with HuFlungPu), that you will apportion time for them, and them alone. Quality time, when you're away from the baize. Time where you can listen solely to them, and all the banal drivel they want to bang on about, until you can get back to some good, old-fashioned, two-fisted, hardcore, poker action and feel the blood coursing through your veins again. That ought to placate them.

    Life is about give and take; light and shade; Hinge & Bracket; Starsky & Hutch; Tikay & Spam-head. In other words: To be two, you need to be one. To be one, you also need to be two... and you need the room and the flexibility to be two. Make sense? 

    To be three, you need a specialist magazine or internet subscription... but that's an entirely different matter, and is fraught with a different set of problems.

    For those of you that don't understand implied odds, that last sentence probably doesn't make any sense. It makes precious little sense to me, and I wrote it.

    Anyway, I trust this assists in your romantic couplings. But I doubt it will.

    My pocket Queens cracked pocket Kings on an exciting all-in tonight, when I spiked trips on the river. Can your girlfriend do that? 

    No, didn't think so...

    It's simple... just do what you want to do and what makes you happy.
    If you would rather play poker than spend time with your gf then you should play poker.
    But wait... obviously she might not be happy... well the problem is... why dont you want to see your gf rather than play poker? that's the real problem that requires some thinking... maybe she is annoying and you just feel obliged to... well i think that's not why you should ever do something... try and work through any problem and solve it so that you want to see your gf more than playing poker.

    Can't you service her while playing? Surely its not a problem durng the first few levels if you play tight.

    Well I would vote if any counted for me lol, but my way to do it is spend time with my gf until she goes sleep then ask if I can stay up in bed for a bit not that she would know anyways and then play poker til some ridiculous time in the morning then go sleep wake up 4 hours later lol.

    But on another note I am very lucky in the fact that she actuallys supports me through my poker, a great pick back up after a rubbish session is hearing from someone who barely knows anything about it that she knows I can do it and it just weren't my day lol.

    But the big killer that asks for too much time away from my poker is my degree lol its so demanding with all its courseworks and tests and exams, always nagging at me to get it done.

    Ok I do realise I just personified a degree course but you get my drift :P lol

    It becomes more of a problem if she's playing too tight.
