So she lost money and was bored? To keep her from being bored, you invite her to stand behind you while you play poker. She must have been thrilled.

I felt better having her there instead of out in the lobby and actully she enjoys watching the game, she showed intrest that day and started learning to play shortly after. Also I do stuff all the time for her (like follow her around while she shops in Nasau) so dont think she minded doing this for me.

i am not sure if it is a good or bad thing that my girlfriend plays poker. on the one hand, she doesnt mind whatsoever that i play. on the other, she has a better paying job than i do, and more disposable income, so she plays higher limits, and she doesnt necessarily have the ability to be a consistent winner there. she is pretty good, but her main problem is playing in games that are too big for her.

plus, she has some serious impulse control issues, which arent particularly good when you are sitting down at the table.

all in all though, i would say that it is a plus. anytime you can have a girlfriend that is as excited about a vegas trip as you are is definitely a good thing.

The way I figure it, there are a thousand great places to take my wife. The beach, a cabin in the woods, the theater, whatever. But there are only a couple of places in the world with 1000 poker tables and twice as many strippers. And for those, I’ll leave her at home, and make it up to her next weekend.
