[b]I understand both sides[/b]

This is a tough scenario to be in.  My wife has recently given me the go-ahead to try and make a living playing poker, but our finances aren't where I want them to be at to make a full blown attempt.  I will say this about your situation, what comes into the house financially is BOTH OF YOURS.  Not his and hers (at least, this is how my wife and I think and how most financial experts would view marriages).  With that said, I would tell him to take 3-4 months, set aside X amount each paycheck to go into a separate account specifically for poker (that you both have access to, just so you can see what's going on as well).  When he's at 20+ buy-ins at whatever level he's trying to play at, then he can give it a go WITH ONLY THAT MONEY.  Once it's gone, it's gone.  It sounds like you're okay financially and are not dependent on his winning at poker, so if he really wants to do this, he should be on board.  (I am aware you've talked about budgeting with him, but in case you hadn't tried something like this).  Unfortunately, it may also seem to be an addiction, in which case no matter how much you set aside, it will go away.  I wish you the best of luck!
