When I started earning and with the money we used to renovate our house and go on trips, it was very easy

Win the Sunday Million, then they will all understand haha.

I dunno, to some extent if you're not losing money you can't afford to lose there isn't really a need to justify why you do something as a hobby to anyone else.

If they knew you played before they really can't be that upset.

The answer here is simple - start winning and giving her expensive gifts.:)

It's catchy when someone is doing their contrubitive thing with passion.
Accepting is kind of part of the life, so as judging things wise.

Sure just teach her how to play poker. I found that that is the best way for her to accept poker. The only problem that I have is that now I have to coke my own diner. LOL

Introduce poker gradually, focus on the social aspect, and emphasize the strategic elements of the game. Encourage open communication about any concerns or reservations your partner may have, and ensure that playing poker doesn't overshadow quality time together.

Treat them to a nice meal or a gift with some of your winnings and they will come around quickly :). Your partner should support and encourage your interests as long as it isn't a detriment to your relationship. Good luck!

a very difficult question, since people still have the old understanding of poker with big losses and shootouts, you need to show her the whole process in detail, maybe she will change her mind

It's very sad if your loved one doesn't support your passion. Probably the most effective way to convince her is to show that her hobby makes a profit, not a loss.

¿Cómo puedes hacer que tu otra mitad ame (o al menos acepte) el póquer?​

In my case, I started playing poker because of my boyfriend, at first I just watched while he played and counted my hands and when I began to understand a little, I started playing the free qualifiers.

If your wife isn't interested in poker, just give her an ipad so she can play games on POGO and stream movies.

Always win and buy gifts for your partner from your winning.

It's hard to say. Although I think that if you will be a successful poker player and will be giving gifts to your other half from the money you win, she will love poker very quickly. :ROFLMAO:

As a virtual game, one way to make him like it was to buy him something to snack and eat while he played.

No need for an IPAD, she has enough pots and pans to keep her entertained.

I ask my husband's advice or input on hand histories. It keeps him interested in poker and he encourages me to continue playing.
