Default Re: How can I get my GF to study?

Hi guys...
My wife and I play alot of poker, we host home games 1-2 nights a week. Sometimes I think she is more hooked than I am! Anyway, I am working hard to improve my game, while she started out just playing for fun. I don't see her sitting down and reading my books for a while, but there is something that has improved her game A LOT. We bought one of those WPT TV controllers games, because we like to play heads up together a fair bit, and with a 3 month old baby, it isn't always viable to break out the table and chips, just for a short session. On the WPT game, we each have our own career set up, as well as a combined career. While she can beat me heads up about as much as I beat her, once she saw that my career bank roll was steadily going up, while hers had some decent swings, thats when we decided to make a shared career, and this is where we play against computer opponants, and discuss each hand, and what I look at before making any bets, and it has not taken long for that to kind of decision making to work its way into her game. This way, we are playing/studying/spending 'quality' time together, all the time having fun!
And another thing... There are better things to play for than money...ie> Who ever wins a heads up game gets 10 minutes of oral sex or back rub, or what ever!
This really makes her think hard about her game!!

word!
