How much of the $585 lost would you fairly attribute to her?

Zero, she's playing for you.

I let my sister take over sometimes when I go for a pee break, but give strict instructions - AA preflop all in, anything else just fold. She hasn't hit AA yet, but it will be cool when she stacks someone [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Tell her the going rate is 50 bucks, so she owes you 11 times.

"How much of the $585 lost would you fairly attribute to her?"

She didn't cost you anything you dolt. She was about to make you $2,000! But noooo, you had to jump in in the middle, to save the day, mighty matt is on the way. Nice job, niphead.

It's like telling someone, "Hey, finish frying this egg for me." And then, right when they have everything perfectly set up and timed so that the cheese will be melted at exactly the right yolk texture, you come barreling back into the kitchen and grab the skillet from the fire in a panic and scream, "Wait! You're about to ruin it even worse!"

All she had to do was catch an ace or seven on the river and you guys would have been cluck-cluck-clucking all day.

It would have been one more thing to add to your enormous list of things to give thanks for.

You're on mine. :-)

After all those days in 3-6 and 6-12 at Lucky Chances, how could I have forgotten the river!

It is just so - sob - heartwarming to see a bunch of poker players advocating personal responsibility. Kane I like you answer the best after Tommy's.

I found the whole thing really funny. Of course it was my fault for letting her play. The conversation went:

Me: [laughing] "You cost us $600! I will accept payment in kind."

Her: "That's only $300 for your half. Let me play another hand first."

Life is good.

You should've used your smarts to realize she didn't raise 10x bb b/c that wouldn't make sense =P

Fairly attribute $0. No guidelines = no gripes.
