Message: [QUOTE="ph_il, post: 5742424, member: 508"] compromise with your wife for days you'll spend together and days you'll play poker. i'm sure your wife has some hobbies/interests of her own. explain to her why they could potentially take hours to complete. 1-2 days/7 days a week allocated to you playing doesn't seem to unreasonable. maybe don't isolate yourself when you play. yes, it requires concentration, but not to the point where you have to shut everyone out. you can still be present and be able to focus on your game. it might even get your wife interested and/or see how much the game means to you when she sees you play or can be there to support you when you do well/bad. you could, if it's available, try sit in go mtts or small multi-table sit in go mtts of 18-180 players. another option is late registering into an mtt, which could shave off an hour or so of play time.
