Poker / girlfriend issues

[ToneLoc]

Yesterday I was multitablnig crypto. My girlfriend calls me to start the usual argument about how we do not spend enough time together blah blah blah...

After 2 mins of listening to that insane bull-s, I do what a man has to do: i lose my temper.

In the midst of the following argument, I am holding AJT5 in the 2.50/5.00 PLO game, and because she ruined my concentration, I miss the fact that I have the nut boat when the board shows TT52 on the turn (didn t even see i had top 2 on flop and checked), and FOLD when some sucker bets 70 pounds into me... We both have around 400 gbp...

Should I ask her for the money ? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

sounds like a great way to lose a girlfriend you'd feel too bad about dumping.

Otherwise, if I were you, I'd shut your friggen piehole [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

spend more time with her?

If you value poker more than this particular GF, dump her ass.

if you're sore about the money, tell her you're going to take her out next saturday night, take her to micky D's, and explain why you're not at Ruth's chris' steakhouse.

if you realize that poker will not ever give you a hummer, sack up and file it under 'cost of doin'' bussiness'.

the line "if you value poker ..." is just plain stupid. you and everyone else should really be able to have both. if there's issues where the poker is actually taking *all* of your free time, you have an issue. but really, you should be able to find time when she's busy doing other things to do your pokering. especially if you're a pro/unemployed.

to the op: learn to manage stress better. you sound like you could use a nap or a warm glass of milk. if you can't multitask well enough to talk on the phone and play cards, don't multitable either. i'm sorry i included anything that poker related in oot. so yeah, suck up the "loss" from the other day.

and chillax, and sit down for a while and think about your priorities. i'm not telling you what they are or should be, but you should think about it some.

[bholdr]

Yea, you should have put the phone down way before this hand even started.

do you guys live together? because if she was visiting you and you spent the time playing poker, i think thats pretty stupid. if you do live together work out a certain schedule with her so you can log in some hours and still be able to spend time with her.
