Bob,

For me, it was about clearing the bonus, and needing some time to myself. I had spent the entirety of the previous 24 hours with her actively watching season two of 24 and caring for our godson. I had to work the next 3 days, and I had either thursday night or friday night. My bonus exipres saturday morning, and I wanted to make sure that I could allot enough time to finish my 1400 hands. I explained that to her, and she was fine with it.

I've barely played 3000 hands in teh last 6 weeks because I got a new job and would rather spend time with her than play poker. In this situation, however, I didn't want to scrap my whole bonus and I didn't want any company either.

so.... you're saying basically that all that aside, you should maybe possibly try to keep your temper in check a little bit from now on?

Yea, you should have put the phone down way before this hand even started.

Yeah, I definitely think temper should be kept in check around girlfriends/wives. It doesn't accomplish anything, and only serves to feed itself. It clouds thought. I rarely lose my temper around my fiance, and always regret it when I do. When I told her I was playing poker thursday, I didn't say it angrily, just firmly & without my "girlfriend voice".
