When you get to my age she doesn't care if you are late to bed. I just tell mine that I will see her in the morning. I think the onlly person older than me on Sky Poker is Tikay and he only has his cat to worry about. I wonder if the cat gives him the evils for staying up late. Posted by Timbobo
If Tikay's cat is anything like mine she either curls up on the keyboard or sits there so that I can't see the screen.
What should I do.....get a bigger monitor or a smaller cat?
Go to bed with ur laptop! That way you may get lucky with the Mrs but if not, u can carry on playing poker while she sleeps............and lets be honest - its the only time u get peace and quiet when they're sleeping Posted by phil12uk
I know most of the tricks in the book and luckily i have a laptop so I have managed to juggle 3 things at once including laptop dancing + she has now got used to the beepy noises when its my turn to act in a hand and sleeps through it

yes i have 3 cats and many a time they have folded my hand for me when i had the nutts. My advice is to get a dog
hi dazler , if youre gf is a liedetector you are in trouble.wearing sunglasses,hoddie a pillow over your head,none of it will work.she will read your mind or smell the fear.what you can do ,is run a double bluff past her.tell her that poker is more important.it will throw her completly.you might have her sitting on your lap while you play poker but hey ,if her nibbling at your ear doesnt distract you ........... happy times Posted by PILLOWMAN
good one PILLOWMAN it maybe worth a try. she might just fold. Its an interesting point at what to do when you are given the choice of a bit of ear nibbleing which leads on to a FH or playing the hand you are involved in. It has happened quite often and would be interesting to hear views on how you deal with it. Do you smooch and slyley look at the corner of your eye to see how your hand is playing before the beep sounds for your turn then say "just a moment honey i think ive got a virus"
i agree with phil there gotta cover all the options, by bringing the laptop to bed you are letting her knowthat you intend to play more even once 'its' over, gr8 idea that way she cant get annoyd with you for getting up right after and saying right love im off downstairs cheers for that, i know sorry just gotta get back to my game. lol cant see that goin down to well. what we should do is get people to make suggestions on diffeent quircky ideas around this g/f problem and run a poll to see who gets what and road test them that way we can give our best advice, in all situations. Also it would be a right laff to see what gets suggested and the response from the g/f's. Posted by goddenkyle
yes goddenkyle thats what I would like to see and I will even do the road testing and tell you all the results. Likewise tell me if they work or you get a filthy look or a smack round the chops.
In Response to Re: MY GIRLFRIEND OR POKER? : good idea Grimstar but i think it will take some convicing if she plays poker like she logs onto face book she will be a dam good player Posted by Dazler
**** 'ell - either you're seeing my girlfriend behind my back or she's got a twin!
My girlfriend also hates me playing poker unless I win and then she's suddenly very interested (for 2 minutes).
I don't live with mine so that means I have to ring her every night for the obligatory chat, which leads to a few excuses being pedalled out when I need to get off the phone in time to start a game....Got to go, I REALLY need the toilet...
Well its friday night and it the big 15k gauranteed and i was all excited that was until my other half told me she had arranged a dinner party at some friends i know what id rather be doing but i suppose i have to prise myself off the laptop for 1 night. I did try all the tricks in the book but she wasnt having it. My head ache will be the same there as it is at home she said. I dont care if you have broken your spine. which i feel by going i am a bit spinless now. Any ways gl all in tonights game wish i could be there too but will be thinking of it.
dazler, you have my sympathy . and tomorrow she will want you to go window shopping and on sunday for a romantic walk. i dont know , some women just dont know how to make there men happy. please dont tell us on monday,that she wanted to snuggle up to you after all that. we raise our glasses to a brave warrior.
Poker is there 24/7 don't throw away a good relationship over a card game, your probably only playing for a few quid anyway..is it worth it?
Just as an addition I have been with my missus for 10 years. I often use the "I'll be there after this hand/game" line, and it gets me SOME leeway -so long as after that hand or game I make really sure I am in bed
After 10 years I do get a little leeway...but quite rightly..not much for poker
As a tip - goto bed until she sleeps then get the laptop out after wards seems a good compromise
In Response to Re: MY GIRLFRIEND OR POKER? : well how about we play a game of poker heads up for her and then im positive she will still be mine at the end of it And from the looks of that picture last night rich im surpised you were into women lol Posted by Dazler
Fair cop Daz, you've seen right through my flimsy attempt to reassert my heterosexuality on the forum.
