Your best poker excuse

How about...
"Honey I am going to splurge and buy a nice used computer for a few hundred dollars, instead of playing poker at the office and giving you the impression I am having an affair...."?

Seriously, $300 Should buy you an acceptable computer strictly for poker....
If you can't afford that, should you really be gambling?

Duh.

Tell her you are having an affair and have a hot date with your girlfriend tonight.

uh why would you want to lie about playing poker? tell her you're going to play poker, or she's going to assume you're cheating.

on second thought, make up a lie and ruin your marriage.

jsut say your playing poker. And if she doesn't like it, well too bad.

never forget about the chance that she is faking the outrage at you playing at the office, and is taking the time to get a little bit on the side. she can count on you being out of the house a couple of nights a week, so she has the opportunity. plus, it isnt like you can say much to her, because you know that her response will be something about you choosing poker over her.

Thanks a lot jerky.

I was too paranoid last night and it tilted me. Now I have to explain how I lost the month's rent.

Tell her you blew it on your mistress...
She won't even bring up poker.

Its good to see that there are lots of strong, healthy relationships out there...

I would agree with TP, go with the reverse psychology:

I might go with girlfriend*s* though
