My wife - the fish

Seriously, live games are really boring, so I understand why people want to play more hands.

Live play is way more fun than online. Shuffle chips, chat with the dealer, your opponents, the cocktail waitresses. Seriously, there are a lot of interesting people in the world, and if you enjoy their company, learn a new thing or two in the process (not about poker, of course), it should be very easy to only play good hands. Anyone that treats live poker like its online will of course be bored. I personally don't know how someone can sit wearing sunglasses, an IPOD, and a hooded sweatshirt and sit at a live table and have any enjoyment whatsoever. Just my thoughts.

As for the OP... If you want your wife to play, it sounds like it is going to have to be as it is. Just make sure you are winning her money in the end.
