Only two more tables until you achieve poker orgy! Chips will be flying every which way, nonstop suck outs galore, and you won't know where you blew your stack but damn it'll be a great night.

Get a girlfriend who doesn't try and dictate how you spend your spare time. I got mine in on the ground floor so I just tell her what happens if I feel like it. She's seen me lose 2k in half an hour and seen me win the same amount. Just get her used to it.Also, having positive results at the end of each month keeps them happy.

Is it sad that I find your gf hot even with the mustache?

I post brags and rants. Please give an example of what the A_KPSG would spit out if someone plays a hand in a ridiculously bad manner and sucks out on me.Thanks.

A_KPSG says:I'm going to laugh like this is funny and show it to you, NOT AS A BAD BEAT, but as a point of hilarity, but really I am dying inside, I want to do a Jordan-iehoiefhoihgoerhg thing and yell "COME ON" and quite possibly break down and cry. Oh and I want you to acknowledge that I play perfect poker and that the poker gods have conspired against me now and always to make me the worst running player ever.But despite that, I also still win and my girlfriend is awesome and here's my graph for the day (I will send you an updated one after the next hand).

A-Actually, I'll upgrade it to an A just because I think the combination of keys you mashed in the Jordan bit looks very similar to the keys he always hits, which I have no idea how he gets that combo.

Tell her to mind her own ****ing business and keep working that boner.

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark, that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." —Raoul Duke, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

Every time I go to Las Vegas I make sure to bring back something for my girlfriend. This way she doesn't dread my constant trips since she knows she's getting jewelry or something. She's seen me win and lose her monthly salary in an hour. At first it was really hard for her to comprehend, but now she understands that that's just the way it is.Serious word of advice - don't neglect your girlfriend solely for poker, unless you want to get rid of her :club:

I am trying to get back into the swing of things and was looking for suggestions on how you explain to your girlfriend about poker.... She is like I dont mind if you play as long as it doesn't become a habit where I lose 300-400 a month LOL.... I told her I just wouldn't tell her about my wins and losses and she was like I dont think so... Help. I wanna play.
Dude , insta dumpage.If you plan on playing move on ..... or try waterboarding.there are no other options imo.
