Re: Help! My girlfriend wants to watch!!
Use it to your advantage. Ask her to wear something that shows some cleavage to distract other players. And maybe you should allow other players to think that YOU are distracted if she's close to you...
As far as tells are concerned, have her sit in a position where she won't see your cards when you check them, and let her know you'll only show her the cards after you're done with a hand. She can smile from ear to ear after betting is closed and it won't matter, will it? (I guess it might matter... too much smiling and/or giggling when you take down a huge pot might put someone on tilt, but that's a plus!) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: Help! My girlfriend wants to watch!!
My GF wouldn't sit and watch me play poker if you paid her.
she really doesn't have much interest in even going to a casino but we'll probably head down sometime. If she DID want to watch me play that would be fine and dandy and I don't understand what the problem here is. I just would hope that I don't take back to back bad-beats in the 20/40 game because she would probably be a little stressed watching me drop $500+ in just a few minutes. |

Don't forget to let your girlfriend indulge in free drinks, as you play. Most cocktail waitresses are cool about it and will fetch a drink even for significant others who are NOT playing. Tip well...good luck and have fun in Vegas.

She'll probably get bored and leave in an hour or less. Who cares? This sounds like a good deal.

Dude, just let her sweat you and be happy you have a girl you not only doesn't sigh at your poker hobby, but actually supports you in it. Most aren't that fortunate. GoT [/ QUOTE ] Good answer. |

Just buy her a spa treatment. Women love to waste time at those.

Re: Help! My girlfriend wants to watch!!
My wife used to spend HOURS watching me play.
My wife also used to live in constant fear that I would cheat on her, if given the oppurtunity--such as an evening out where women and alcohol were available. I have no doubt the above paragraphs are related. Think about it. (Put it this way--now I play online, AT HOME, and she has absolutely no interest in watching me.) |

Re: Help! My girlfriend wants to watch!!
It seems I should clarify my intentions of the post.
I am flattered that I have a girl that takes an interest in something I am passionate about. However, I was more uncertain as to how we both would be able to handle a situation, should it arise, where I wasn't winning. Seemed like it would just be uncomfortable. I should note, that I don't plan on losing, and even if I did I know it in all truth would not be a big deal. I did feign shock and horror when she asked though. And I did already purchase a spa package that I will be surprising her with on Saturday. I just said a whole lot of nothing. -SC |
