How much did she cost me?
 

9-handed 10-20 on Party. I have crossed to the dark side for Thanksgiving.

Wife is watching a couple of hands. I say "play for me" and head for the head. She has never played online poker. While busy with my business I muse that wife will play very weak-tight as 2K will be intimidating.

I return 3 minutes later to find a $400 pot preflop with A6o UTG+2 vs a lone and fully stacked button. Wife says she raised, so I pot the T95 flop. Button calls. Turn's an 8. We check-fold. Wife laughs. Cool. She can take a beating.

Turns out wife raised and then called a reraise to $185. That information was not clear at the time.

How much of the $585 lost would you fairly attribute to her?

When my girlfriend happens to see me play she wants me to go all in every hand. If you dont set up a quick hand guideline before heading out your asking for trouble imo.

i think if shed said anything to the effect of he bet preflop, or he raised me, whatever, youre done with the hand without flopping a monster

that said, its still mostly your fault

$50 fine to the lady flynn

Zero, she's playing for you.

Re: How much did she cost me?
 

I let my sister take over sometimes when I go for a pee break, but give strict instructions - AA preflop all in, anything else just fold. She hasn't hit AA yet, but it will be cool when she stacks someone [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Tell her the going rate is 50 bucks, so she owes you 11 times.

She didn't cost you anything you dolt. She was about to make you $2,000! But noooo, you had to jump in in the middle, to save the day, mighty matt is on the way. Nice job, niphead.

It's like telling someone, "Hey, finish frying this egg for me." And then, right when they have everything perfectly set up and timed so that the cheese will be melted at exactly the right yolk texture, you come barreling back into the kitchen and grab the skillet from the fire in a panic and scream, "Wait! You're about to ruin it even worse!"

All she had to do was catch an ace or seven on the river and you guys would have been cluck-cluck-clucking all day.

It would have been one more thing to add to your enormous list of things to give thanks for.

You're on mine. :-)

After all those days in 3-6 and 6-12 at Lucky Chances, how could I have forgotten the river!

Re: How much did she cost me?
 

It is just so - sob - heartwarming to see a bunch of poker players advocating personal responsibility. Kane I like you answer the best after Tommy's.

I found the whole thing really funny. Of course it was my fault for letting her play. The conversation went:

Me: [laughing] "You cost us $600! I will accept payment in kind."

Her: "That's only $300 for your half. Let me play another hand first."

Life is good.

You should've used your smarts to realize she didn't raise 10x bb b/c that wouldn't make sense =P

Fairly attribute $0. No guidelines = no gripes.
