What does your Significant Other think of CT?

I'm one of the lucky ones. My wife loves to play poker, is a member of my (and a friend's) poker league, has her own monthly game and likes to go to casinos.

She likes using good chips and cards. Her favorite set of chips are my Kokopelli's. I even bought her a set of the cash Kokos, to go along with the originals, last year for her birthday and she loved it.

I don't know if it's a good thing or not but although she loves going to the Casino as much as I do, at first all she really wanted to do is play slots and would want me or at least someone she knew well to go with her. Now she plays Poker, Blackjack, Craps just as much and doesn't give a second thought about going without me

. She recently went to visit her Mother and took her and the ex-sister in-law to an Indian casino in the area. They had fun playing slots but she said she was disappointed she wasn't able to play poker or BJ. Since her mom had never stepped foot in a casino before, she didn't feel right about leaving them alone while she played.

I don't think she quite "gets" Chiptalk but understands, is supportive and wants to join to learn more and also to be eligible to attend future CT meet-ups and such.

Some say I've created a monster and wonder why I would want to have "let her in" on "my thing" but I'm glad we have this stuff in common. We have a lot of fun.

She's a (light) member, but more for the frequent poker playing rather than chipping. She now recognizes decent chips and knows what she likes (Paulsons). As long as the chip mail is about equal to the Lands End mail, we're OK. I have a long way to catch up to the Shoe Warehouse (etc.) boxes!

I show her pictures and she says "YES, I get it. There are people with a bigger problem than you."

When one of the MA guys comes up it's "Did any of your internet friends play?"

My wife rolls her eyes at me a lot. She'll often ask, "How are your BFFs?" So whether you guys knew it or not, you've risen to "BFF" status. ...Let's take a moment of silence for the use of the term "BFF" on CT. I'm so sorry.

Anyway, I'm trying to get her into poker. After explaining how some guys choose to play like idiots on P*, she asked: "Can you teach me how to not be a donkey?" Wish me luck.
