my girlfriend and i
 

my girlfriend had never played poker before we met and I am an avid player. I am a winning player too. She has taken up poker and she loves to play both online and in the casino.....however, she is not a winning player and also doesnt have a lot of dispensible income, what is a good way to tell her that maybe she isnt good enough to play 5/10 at the taj without hurting her feelings (or losing my money)

Question #1: why is she losing your money instead of her own?

well....she likes to play and doesnt like me going to the taj by myself so i offer to roll her 100 to sit and hope it doesn t effect my hourly too much

Tell her to play at 2/4.

Re: my girlfriend and i
 

Maybe you could drop down and clean house on 2/4 with her on those times that she happens to join you to the casino.

she refuses to play 2/4 cause its a calling factory, she doesnt know how to handle loose action

Then explain to her why these tables are the most profitable and easiest to beat. Make absolutely certain she understands this concept. I'm astounded you haven't already done this...

Re: my girlfriend and i
 

Make her play with her own money. She's just throwing away your money and of course basically throwing away 10 BB is going to destroy your hourly rate.

online, okay....live play she doesnt have the patience to sit a loose action table nor the skill to play a 5/10....ive explained plenty of times, SHE DOESNT GET IT!!!!

Re: my girlfriend and i
 

maybe i exaggerated the origonal post, she DOES play with her own money but she loses it and then she wants to leave, she doesnt see it as a long term or hourly game, but a luck game
