Default Re: Help: How to convince my gf NOT to play to get her money back

[ QUOTE ]
To her credit, she always believes that she loses money because she is not playing as well as she could.

Obviously this is an important mindset to have for poker, but I've also found it easier to leave a table when losing or convince a friend to leave a table when losing by acknowledging that

there may be a reason out of my control that I'm doing things incorrectly, like misreading other players or not knowing that they all have reads on me..
and the only thing to do about it is to stand up and come back the next day.

I still think the only times you should be spending real long sessions in one place are when you're making a killing. Why make reasons to stay at a losing table?
