G/F constantly beats me at poker!!

[evans075]

I set out about 5 months ago to teach my G/F how to play poker. After this she has played a few times with me and my friends. Apparently I have this ego problem that is "Hey I taught her how to play, therefore she can't beat me!" It seems though every time I get heads-up with her she kills me. Either she crushes my Flopped two pair with a Flopped set to drawing out her flushes against My big PP. It kills me to know that the girl I taught how to play beats me. Anyone else have this problem??

You need to a) get better at poker b) gain an appreciation for variance c) some combination of a) and b).

listen to the JBB

So it bothers you that she's been getting lucky? Or is she actually a better player than you are? If it's the former, you need to go back and do some reading beginning with TOP. If it's the latter, you need to go back and do some reading beginning with TOP.

Stick it in her pooper! Oh, wait, wrong forum.... (damn you Jake, this saying is like permanently tattoed on my brain now!)

Listen to the above advice, it is good. Alternatively, do what other great poker players have doen for years once the fish learned the games they were playing well enough to be competitive - teach her a new game (Omaha, Stud etc...) and beat her at that for a while. Ofcourse, if she is a true poker prodigy and learns all the games super fast/super good - quit playing and stake her in the WSOP, you'll prolly make a bundle.

Marry her.
