but forget playing during the day- wimminz like their attention, and usually deserve it.
My wife was dubious at first. But since I had been in an auto accident and couldn't work anyway, she didn't mind that much that I put $50 on PokerStars to see if I could do something with it.

Now, if she wakes up at 2 A.M. and finds me watching TV, she'll say, "You're not done playing poker are you?"

Aha! Now that sounds like a cool poker wife! Srsly, most wives/GFs are just like all the other posts describe: whiny bitchy nags.

Ive only come across a few couples like that, where the wife is mostly cool and supportive of poker. Mostly in relationships where the person who plays is also some sort of professional in another field: doctor, lawyer, etc.

Me: "SILENCE"

HOW THE HELL DO I COME BACK TO THIS ONE?
Tell him it's pretty easy to be high and mighty about giving away 40K when you have billions of your own.

I love the "Do you play online poker as well? Where? [answer] I play on facebook" guys.. they always tell me how good they are and that they are up by [insert random number you consider to be big] chips.. they're so funny.

Then I tell them my roomate is addicted to porn.
Porn is a completely different experience with three monitors =) Friends didn't believe me when I said I watched 11 movies at a time... Two fullscreen on the side and 3x3 matrix in the middle. TV is so 1900's.

This thread is awesome.

i don't play for a living.

But maybe I can make enough money one day to where I can have people ask terrible questions like these and reply that I just bought a Porsche.

Or how about when someone feels the need to have a dick measuring contest with you and lie about their poker achievements. You ask their username, ptr, see that they played 2 sessions and lost $50...
