I've brought her down before. But I can be there for a LONG time, especially since I usually go deep in tournaments plus I might get into a juicy cash game for hours on end.

She would get bored and I'd feel bad because she'd be stuck there waiting on me. And if I've got that thought in my head, then I don't have my A-game in my head, and that's a problem. I'm not playing for recreation, I'm playing to win.

Also, she knows how to play, but gets bored with the game quickly, so that's pointless as well.

I celebrate Christmas because it is Jenns favorite holiday, but I don't care for it. I always wind up getting people something better than they get me, and they usually get me crap I don't want. It's just a waste of my time and money as far as I'm concerned. Bah-fricken-humbug.

Case in point of my disappointing week:

1. Jenn and I get into a fight earlier this past week

2. I just about bubble in the Foxwoods event, where I had a great shot at that 5K grand prize if I had won that all-in hand

3. I spent hundreds of dollars building the in-laws an awesome new computer. What do I get today when we go to visit them? A glass Fosters Beer cup and a $20 gift card to WalMart (meanwhile these same in-laws just bought themselves a new 50-inch Sony WEGA flat-screen TV and various other components) And I had to listen to the father-in-law and mother-in-law fight constantly while we were over there, LOTS of fun.

I friggin' hate Christmas. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
