Default Poker / girlfriend issues

Yesterday I was multitablnig crypto. My girlfriend calls me to start the usual argument about how we do not spend enough time together blah blah blah...

After 2 mins of listening to that insane bull-s, I do what a man has to do: i lose my temper.

In the midst of the following argument, I am holding AJT5 in the 2.50/5.00 PLO game, and because she ruined my concentration, I miss the fact that I have the nut boat when the board shows TT52 on the turn (didn t even see i had top 2 on flop and checked), and FOLD when some sucker bets 70 pounds into me... We both have around 400 gbp...

Should I ask her for the money ? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

sounds like a great way to lose a girlfriend you'd feel too bad about dumping.

Otherwise, if I were you, I'd shut your friggen piehole [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If you value poker more than this particular GF, dump her ass.

if you're sore about the money, tell her you're going to take her out next saturday night, take her to micky D's, and explain why you're not at Ruth's chris' steakhouse.

if you realize that poker will not ever give you a hummer, sack up and file it under 'cost of doin'' bussiness'.

do you guys live together? because if she was visiting you and you spent the time playing poker, i think thats pretty stupid. if you do live together work out a certain schedule with her so you can log in some hours and still be able to spend time with her.

If you are with her because you really like being with her and all that jazz, then you can't ask her for the money. Also, if this is the case then spend more time with her (or possibly just more "meaningful time" with her).

If you are with her just to "get a piece," then you can't aske her for the money, because you aren't getting laid for a long time.

I will give you the benefist of the doubt and say you are option #1, so just let it go. (The micky D's suggestion is pretty funny).

either respect her and spend more time with her...or break up with her so SHE can move on with her life...that way u wont continue this vicious cycle of u playin poker - her getting mad - you losing b/c ur now mad - you get more mad at her...this is just retarded. im hardheaded...and it took me some gettin used to that someone close to me played a TON of poker...but i sucked it up and choose to LEARN to play SO I COULD spend time with them....i didnt and wouldnt ask them to give it up...but it was making things hard...so i picked the best option. Bottom line - COMMUNICATION IS KEY!!! talk to her...try and compromise...if u cant...ur relationship is doomed anyway b/c it sounds like niether of u is willing to be on the complete opposite end of "not receieving"


so u have one of 2 options:
spend more time with her
break up with her and spend more time with poker

dont blame her when u r causing the problem 1st
