Cautionary Tale: How to Lose $40 in One Hand
I was playing on a $50 buy-in NL table ($.25-$.50 blinds) on Pokerroom last night and increased my $50 buy-in to about $65 when "She who must be obeyed" (the wife) comes in and says she wants to play a hand with no influence from me.
Since she must be obeyed, I agreed and she sits down to QJ in the cut-off position. I think, that's a pretty good hand for her to try out. No one raises until it gets back to my wife and she raises to $2. Wow - kind of aggressive but everyone folds except 2 other players who call. Flop comes KKQ. Oh crap! 1st player bets $5, second player calls and wife raises to $10. NO! Both players call. Turn comes 10. 1st player checks, 2nd player goes all in (about $10) and wife calls. NO!! 1st player then goes all in for about $18 more and wife again calls. NO!!! River is a blank and 1st player shows KQ for a full house, 2nd player shows AJ for a straight and my wife has 2 pair. Wife asks what happened, I explain it to her and then she asks how much "I" lost. I tell her about $40 and she says sorry and goes to bed! WHY ME and why couldn't she have been dealt 72? Lost another $20 that night trying to recoup the $40 and now I'm down $60 on Pokerroom trying to clear a bonus of $112. Only a few nights left to clear the bonus - hopefully I can keep the wife off until then. LOL. |

LMFAO! Serves you right for trusting a woman with your hands
 . Seriously though, my gf tred to do that in a sit-n-go once, and she went from chip leader to out of the money, when there were only 4 players left  . She knows better than to ask now so hopefully your wife is the same.

Nice story.
Everytime my girlfriend watches me play poker I constantly get, "Why aren't you playing that?" It's always a shitty hand, and she doesn't understand that if you play shitty cards, you will lose money quickly.

Wife's response after "I" lost the $40 - "I thought they were bluffing."

My wife is the same way, "you'll never win if you keep folding AJ suited". Keep in mind there was a UTG all-in and a caller.

Women are just generally looser than guys in general, no pun intended.
My girlfriend will do the same thing. I can't stand it when she overplays a pair when overcards hit the board  .
