You need to deal with yourself first, and not her.

I don't think that you need help, I just think you need to have balance in your game, all else falls into place.

I am a father of 2 boys, 12 and 8, I love both of them dearly, and also my wife. There is nothing better than seeing your children grow, the more time you spend with them, the double you get back in return.

I think all of us in here love the game, and we love our familys, poker will always be here, and your family wont.

If you don't have balance you will never be good at poker, and will never be good at life.

I honestly think that you will have more success at poker when all the other things are in place in order for there to be balance.

I remember one hand where I had been in a tournament for a long time, it was worth alot of money, and I spewed a hand...Lady next to me said, "You must be tired." When I look back at that hand, and her comments I didn't even know that I was tired, but it was a clear mistake on my part, but at the time I didn't see it as a mistake.

You need to reevaluate the action OTT dude, cause I think you're tired.

Please do not do this. WOW this is so bad

OP, how its going?

When was the OP's last reply? Honestly if playing poker brought me more joy than being with my wife I'd leave the bitch in a heartbeat.

That being said her being pregnant makes things a lot more complicated...

Never EVER pick something lifeless over something live OP. Life is too short to get into those dilemmas. Just ask someone who has lost their loved ones. This will persuade you.

Never EVER give up time with your wife/child/loved ones to do ANYTHING else. Life is just too short and unexpected...

Are you endorsing he switch to live poker?

You guys are idiots. I would leave a woman in a heartbeat if she gave me ANY ultimatum. BUT, and this is a huge BUT, the pangs you'll in your heart from missing poker are NOTHING too what you'll feel missing out on your child's life. The mother of my young sons and I split up 2 yrs ago (our sons ar 4 and 3 now). I don't miss her for a second, but even though I see my sons regularly, 3 or 4 days every 2 wks, my heart aches every night they aren't with me, or when their mom calls to give me an "update" on something cool they learned or did (we speak regulary in regards to the boys).

Unless you've been in the situation you're not qualified to give advice on the matter, and if you have been in the situation and advised him to walk out on his family you're a piece of **** and there's a special place in hell for you.

In the game of life, woman MAY be the rake (not my experience but eh...) but kids are quad aces in the last hand of the ME.
