Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 7013445, member: 430261"] I must consider myself very lucky having a Wife that understands the passion I had for the game, I regularly went out once a week to play Poker, but as I was also the TD at my local Pub and I organised the games, I was always there to the bitter end and often didn't get home until the early hours of the next day. I suppose that when I was a Taxi Driver she got used to that, as some fares could take me any where, I remember one such evening I got a Job that took me over 400 miles away from home, so I didn't get home until midday the next day, but I always phoned her when I got a long distance job. I think the only time she actually complained about me playing Poker was one night as my Friend pulled up outside to take me to one game, she said she needed some extra cash to buy some holiday clothes, as we were leaving to go on vacation in a day or two, I asked her how much? and as she wouldn't put a figure on it, I just said "Look, I will leave you my Poker winnings on the Coffee Table" her reply was "Who say's you are going to Win?" and I just ignored her as I walked out the door. The game I went to used to have some strange rules one being if you got busted before the break, you could re-buy but you only got the add-on that everyone else got for free if they were still in the game. I was busted early on and as I was enjoying a Cigarette with my Friend on the break I explained how I had made a Full house, but unfortunately my opposition made a bigger one so was busted out of the game, He asked me if I was going to buy back in and I said I have to, I promised her indoors I would give her my winnings. To which he just laughed, he knew it was an almost impossible task. Sitting back down when the game restarted, I took a gamble, A guy I knew didn't like limpers when he was on the BB and always put in a raise if he got any, He was on the BB so I limped along with two other players, as I suspected the BB raised, so I pushed all-in with Pocket Aces, As my stack was small in comparison to others who had been in the game and got their free add-on, He naturally called and my Aces held up. on the very next hand I was dealt K/K and he started to raise me again. so I shoved a second time and he snap called with J/J, which doubled me up again. I eventually went on to win the game and Left my Winnings on the Coffee Table for my Wife, who just left me a note saying "I guess you won then" She never complained again. [/QUOTE]
