Default Make money: spend time playing or chasing bounses????

My wife and I have become quite the poker duo and play together all the time. It's been great but now we have run into our first disagreement.

We play at .5/1 on various sites and have done very well. Over our last couple thousand hands we have been => 6bb/100.

My contention is that we need to be taking advantage of the various bonuses offered at different sites, but she wants to stay at our current site because she thinks we have good reads on our opponets and can make more money playing with the fish.

Help me convince her that we can still take down the fish while getting FREE money from clearing bonuses. Hell even if (when) we hit a down swing the bonus will help pad our losses.

Ideally I would like to build our bankroll up large enough that we would give a crap about chasing bonuses, but we continually pull cash out for various expenses, which is fine with me, poker is paying some of the bills!!!

Anyway, thanks for your time and I appreciate your help.

Regards

If you are playing 0.50/1 there are lots of bonuses out there that would be worthwhile. The Party skins would be the best but others too. At those stakes there are fish everywhere so if you can beat the ones at your site you can beat the others. Bonuses are very helpful for building up a bankroll that much quicker and you should definitely do as many as you can. You will want to move up eventually so you will have to face the problem of beating new opponents you aren't familiar with at some point.

By the way, what do you mean when you say you and your wife are playing together?

Thats a pretty personal question to ask on a poker site!?! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Actually, we play under one name and instead of me playing poker all night or her off doing what wifes do, we play together and its a great, fun and profitable way for us to share something that we both like!!!

Ok cool. I just wanted to clarify that you guys aren't on two names playing at the same tables or something. Good luck and its cool you have a significant other who enjoys the game as its an issue for almost all of us [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

We have conflicting styles so I'm sure our opponets get confused as hell!!! Anyway, it really is fun and trust me, I feel incredibly lucky that not does she support me playing as much as I want, she plays too.

Now I just have to get her to go bonus chasing

What would be a bonus would be if you could get her to invite her friends over to play too, hopefully to do some gaybetting.

1:
you bonus whore,
She continues to play the fish,


2:
You multi table(Bonus whore and play these fish)
She does the same

Oh and...Move up limits as i assume you both have 300BB+.


"getting comfy" is good, but if you move up... You could be making alot more [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My 2cents,
PH.
