i think we have found the real problem here.

my advice is to start mixing it up and stop showing your hands, if she is schooling you then there is no need for the learning period. then if this doesn't work, SIIHP.

I feel sorry for you. I really really wish she would be much weaker, so you could beat her.

Re: My Girlfriend...is beating the hell out of me...AND I RAN HOME
 

You shouldn't feel ashamed. Competition in a relationship can be very healthy.

I had a great time with my last girlfriend playing gin rummy, even though she won very often. I liked seeing her explode with prideful laughter when she successfully showed me gin. It was fun.

And now I'm getting the distinct feeling she's going start soft playing me...what an insult. We show our hands everytime (this was for teaching purposes)...so she can't be obviously trying to let me win...but I noticed at the end of the night that she started checking after the flop...instead of betting like had been doing VERY SUCCESSFULLY.

This whole thing doesn't make sense to me.

You said it was for 'teaching purposes'... was it you teaching her, or her teaching you?

If she's teaching you, then I don't see what the big deal is.

If you're teaching her... well, it worked.

With respect to the softplaying... for christ's sake, she's up five matches in over 100. If she thinks this is a large enough margin to start softplaying over, then one or both of you is a huge pussy.

me and my girlfriend have a very similiar poker experience. She's very smart and she beats me heads up ALOT..... But i think it's awesome, haha

Re: My Girlfriend...is beating the hell out of me...AND I RAN HOME
 

So if you can't handle her beating you or you think it may come between your relationship, then don't play her. Otherwise be thankful you have someone to practice with and try to learn as much as possible from each other.

You should consider yourself lucky that your GF even plays poker.
