Poker, Bankroll, and Marriage

[donkeyradish]

This is a good question to ask!

My wife has no interest in poker, but she knows I have been growing a bankroll and asked how much I had in it recently for the first time (so I told her - the truth)

In a strange way that has helped to motivate me to play a bit better because I would really hate it if she were to ask again a few weeks later if I were to have a net loss...

What helped was creating charts and graphs on the unavoidable pitfalls of variance and putting together a 3-hour multi-media presentation for the wife. This way she could come to appreciate the true nature of poker.

Wait a minute, that's what I should had done, instead I just fibbed and said I am even and got busy rebuilding before she went frying pan on me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
