Teaching the wife..
The wife loves to play poker just as much as I do, mostly we play online SNG or 1-2 table tourneys when we host or go to others' games. The unfortunate part is she refuses to listen to advice from me or even venture forth and educate herself via books, this forum, etc. She basically has no ideas about any SNG strategies or other concepts (fold equity, pot odds, etc.)
Well, we have a few tourneys coming up and she's finally broke down and is allowing me one session with her to review some stuff. Now I'm not the best player myself by any means, but these boards and books/articles which I've read have made me a pretty decent player. I'm only afraid that she'll get frustrated during our session, so I'm trying to keep it short, but helpfull.
I'd like opinions on topics to discuss, trying not to overwhelm her. I'm hoping that maybe this first session will open her eyes to areas she needs improvement, and perhaps will lead to more sessions or reading. I think if she actually enjoys the learning experience and can benefit from it, she'll keep learning.
