Message: [QUOTE="ph_il, post: 2509637, member: 508"] So, I just had a mix of a discussion and argument with my GF over my poker playing and I could use a little advice with this situation. I told her that I've been playing for a month, I made a deposit of $25 and I have increased it to $400+ while playing $1-$2 MTTs. I explained BRM to her and how I'm risking a small percent of my BR for a larger reward. I even showed her my results online that show my total profits, how many MTTs I've won, etc, to prove that I am a winning player at these micro-stakes and that my mere investment of $1 or $2 to play a tournament is nothing to be concerned about when I'm showing such a good return on my money. Her main concern is that I play every night mon-fri, I see her on the weekends and that I'm gambling too much and playing with $400 is way too much. I, again, tried explaining again about BRM, my tiny risk for a big reward, and that I'm never going to risk my whole BR on a given night. I even gave her an analogy of : Someone says that if you pay them a penny, they'll flip a coin. If that coin lands on heads, you get a dollar and if lands on tails, they keep the penny. And this is the tiny risk for large reward I'm investing on when I play, except its not based purely on luck but a lot of skill as well, which I have shown her that I have to beat these games. Still, she thinks I'm risking my entire $400s whenever I play and that me playing every night scares her because of all the gambling I'm doing... If you have any advice or been in this situation, I'd like to hear it. I understand her concern, especially from someone who doesn't play or knows what I'm talking about. But I just wish she could also understand where I'm coming from as well. That a) I only invest $25 out of pocket, b) I'm a winning player and have built it up to where it is), c) I risk a tiny percent of my money for a big reward, and d) I'm never risking my entire BR so there is no chance of me ever losing it all at a given time.
