Poker vs Family Relationship

Chegabs: Well, I even looked for a topic about the discussion but there wasn't one, anyway today I was reviewing a session I had with a great friend and he gave me the sad news that he was going to stop playing, but not because he broke down, nor because he doesn't like our sport anymore, but because his wife gave him an ultimatum. Confused, I asked him what the reason would be since he is one of the most regular regs in PLO Omaha that I know. He told me that the argument was that they don't need extra income and that he dedicates a lot of time to our sport. He's obviously going to stop.
Of course it's not a case of prejudice, but how do you deal with this in your home? Have you ever had any problems related to this? Tell me more lol. 😀

hugs.

prof_anselmo: My friend, as everything in life requires balance

with poker, it's no different

I like to make money with poker in MTTs, but I haven't played for about 6 months: Reason? Twins.

as they would say: I still!!! can't play... but time is the best medicine and partner...

I can return at dawn, as long as I make the appropriate division... 40 percent for the horse (us)... and 60 percent for the boss (obviously).

All this, safeguarding the marital conditions, which must come first, even if it is the bubble for the final table, and you have pocket Aces, all in pre flop….

Rest assured… fold and go for the hug.

My wife has already gone through this phase, today she is in the other one... Either help, or...

It's all a matter of common sense and balance... and let's face it... as they don't normally play poker, let's use the principle of empathy.

Let's imagine it was the other way around... us wanting attention and them on a computer screen playing cards?!?!?!!?!

It's simply the way they find to say I LOVE YOU KCT, in a not very orthodox way...!!!!

thanks

Chegabs: True Anselmo, YOU STILL! hehehe.
I told him almost the same thing from time to time.
I believe that everything has to be well balanced, as you said.

half off time but thanks I ship two pots in 1 raise! nice

Vadiu: I think it's all a matter of common sense. For example, I used to grind more at night, but I started waking up earlier to spend the night with my girl. Luckily, she plays and is very understanding about my grind.

My parents support me, but they are always cautious and reservedly pessimistic. Especially because I made my decision to play poker after I finished college…etc. But the funny thing is that even today when my mother calls me, she asks if I have found a job here yet. I always say “I don’t already have a job that isn’t easy”, and she says “but what about a real job?” lol.

Empathetically, I would also be worried (if I didn't play) if one of my children had abandoned everything to play poker, but whenever I can, I explain my strategies, show them the math and statistics behind the game. Since I've been living abroad for 7 months and have never asked for money, they are putting more faith in the game.

DonVitche: …they are putting more faith in the little game.

As a father, I can tell you that “in the game” they will never put faith. They will do that in you, but never in the game.

What your parents really hope for is that the “cradle” they gave you has prepared you, in whatever way it may be, to face the game of life. We parents, in an often unconfessable way, know that life is the great game, where luck or bad luck has no place, but where the reflection of the values we pass on to them is what counts.

Not only financial independence is important here, André, but also emotional balance, affection, and self-confidence to face the most diverse situations that life has in store for you. As parents, we are always left with doubts about our choices. Whether they are right or wrong is not what really matters, but whether you are ready to make them.

When we realize that a child makes his or her own choices and lives with the results in balance, we know that our mission has been accomplished. This will always be linked to your happiness. As long as you are happy, your parents will be happy too.

And you, André, are a boy who makes them very proud!

Julio Kenji: It's hard to tell if your friend's wife is being intransigent or if he's just screwing up. Only the couple knows what their life is like.

In my case, I am married and have 2 young children. I work 2 “jobs”: I am a lawyer and I own a store.

I don't play poker at home, except when my wife is away with the kids. Not that she's made any demands; as a matter of conscience, family is family, I live for and by them.

When I play a live game with friends and family, my boss lets me play on the following condition: everything I earn goes straight into her pocket. In this game, she has already pocketed about R$ 300 (the guys who play with me manage to lose to me)

Cheers!

Mrs.Towers: Let's imagine it was the other way around... us wanting attention and them on a computer screen playing cards?!?!?!!?!

Viiish… I didn’t even want to imagine!

Chegabs: Well, I've been dating her for 3 years now, and before she hated poker with all her heart, I never understood until she told me that her uncle was addicted to those little machines, you know?
Then it was up to my boyfriend to explain the game to her and I had the help of the whole family, I come from a family of mathematicians and physicists who love the game.
After the conversation, she even got excited and has been playing all the home games here at home, I even nailed the last one by giving me the prize. (A week without washing the dishes) here at home we play every Sunday for tasks during the week. For those of you who think it's easy, imagine giving a push that's worth dusting the house all week. lol

That's it, guys!

Mrs.Towers: The disputes over household chores here at home are on video games…
I need to teach my husband poker... I have more edge in this game lol

Jokes aside, everything has to be in moderation. It really is annoying to be left out for something you don't like, but tolerance is also essential. You can't control your partner's tastes and attitudes by putting pressure on them... then it ends up being worse.

I hadn't thought about that, I think I'll resort to another game, since she's already dominating me. The other day I went into the room and came across the scene, she was reading an article about smallball and didn't even blink.
It was funny.

I think the secret is to enjoy it together, do something that you both like together! It's essential for any relationship, as for spending and attitudes HAHAHAHA never! never! I'm going to stop doing what she says kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
she knows how to be persuasive (wtf is the spelling right?)

Aguinho: Well, my “wife” wasn’t a big fan of me playing poker either. Until I paid for some fun things for us with Neteller and said it was poker money, then she said to me: “You need to play more, huh”. Phew!

binhoecida: My wife plays poker.
Sometimes I think she plays better than me, because her patience during the game is much greater than mine.
Sometimes I tilt and do stupid things, but she is always calm during the game.
But as for me to play, it's from the moon.
When I'm playing badly, with no head for the grind, doing everything wrong, she doesn't say a peep to help, but when I'm one hundred percent in the game, engaged and beating everyone who comes against me at the table, it seems like she tilts in the villains' place and opens her mouth wide at me.
Yesterday was no different, I played a computer early in the morning and fell quickly and she didn't say a word, at night I was doing great playing 4 tables simultaneously and when she asked me to leave the game and go to the bakery which is around the corner.
Would I lose my dollars for 2 reais worth of bread? My love, go on. I can't do it, I fixed my hair today. If I go out and it gets wet, I'll lose everything. For the love of God, I ended up losing all the tables that I was sitting at because my wife wanted me to go at that time.
I say to anyone who tries to reconcile, either way you end up losing a little, but we know what is most important.
I get pissed about this but what can I do?

Eddwards003: Well, my “wife” wasn’t a big fan of me playing poker either. Until I paid for some fun things for us with Neteller and said it was poker money, then she said to me: “You need to play more, huh”. Phew!
Exactly! More or less that's it.

binhoecida: Response from the wife of the most excellent Binho, my unconditional love:
This is Ybson's wife, Cida, speaking. It's a pleasure to meet you guys. I felt an uncontrollable desire to respond to this absurdity that my beloved husband said about me. (lol) Well, let's get to the point:

According to my invaluable husband, I play poker. Actually, I used to play, but I don't play like I used to. Do I like the game? Yes, I really do.
My beloved husband said that I don't help him in the games, but I think many of you guys have seen him say in the games that if it weren't for me he would have already lost. (lol) Well, putting my position on this statement, I don't like it when he puts the game as a priority... when in my opinion the priority is the family. He is an amazing husband, a wonderful father, but I get sad when we need his attention and he is playing poker (whether it is to watch a movie or an unexpected family matter, anyway, even if it is a small thing, but just the fact of stopping and looking into your eyes to say "I'm here". I don't know about you men, but women like that!! It is a fact. It gives the impression that we are safe. As for my hair, my hair was 150 reais, are you crazy????? It was raining horribly, I was really irritated kkkkkkk but anyway... I love my husband, more and more each day and if poker is your future, my love, it is mine too... I am always with you no matter what, I'm sorry for sometimes behaving like this... I LOVE YOU!!!

afsalagoas: Lol declarations of LOVE ON PD NICE. How can I say that this forum is not a family? Even with so many x, y, z it's worth it lol.

I'm working now and looking at some details, but I also went through this the other day, not with the woman but with my father, lol! I was at 4 final tables of sng and ee... Wait!

Marcelo: Remember my topic on responsibility and balance?

That's it, you have to know how to reconcile.

99% of us will be amateurs. Poker will be at most extra money, which will pay for that trip or that electronic device.

Only 1% will professionalize and become rich with the sport.

Our life is short, we have to know how to reconcile everything that is important to us. If you leave your love to play a tournament for six hours, earning $1 per hour (hourly rate), then don't complain if you are alone.

Saagati: I just know that you can't grind MTT and have a life outside of poker hahahaha, that's why I switched to cash

Diih Poker: This subject is actually a bit complicated..

In my case..

I love this game, I study as much as possible so I can improve
and grow more and more. As I have said before, I do have the desire
to become a professional in this sport.

Some of the difficulties I have with this are with my parents. My mother has already
doesn't like any type of game because of the many things that have happened
with my father. Another fact is that because she is evangelical, it got worse
still the home game business.

Now my father didn't like me staying up all night playing games, etc.
But he already gives some support. He says if that's what I like, go ahead.
but don't stop studying.

I'm absolutely sure that if I tell my parents that I'm going to live off poker
the first thing that will happen at home is having to pack my bags and leave
out of the house. Because my mother will not accept it at all. I have tried several
sometimes explain that this is a game of skill but there is no way around it.

But I will continue to fight to gain their trust and continue my
walk to professionalism in poker.

Simply sensational!

One of the characteristics of PokerDicas, as a social network, is that most of us love humble and sincere statements.

Congratulations girl!
