How in the cornbread hell did you convince your wife that you could make money at pokers while on Pat leave?

Was the poker money absolutely necessary to live on while on Pat leave or could you just get by eating beans and using cloth diapers if you didn't have it?

Did wife constantly ask you how it was going or did she leave you alone?

How much do I bet/fold?

Lemonfest was canceled. I'll try to convince lemon to have one this year, but it's gunna be tough now that he has a kid.

philly: bone fosho

I've had at least 2 100k BE stretches under my belt, I think the last one was 2009 when I went from playing 100NL FR to 200NL 6m. miracle I broke even instead of massively losing imo.

Wife got confidence in my ability to beat the games when money routinely came in over a couple years. I also had the ability to go back to work if I absolutely had to, and I often had a buffer of a few paychecks. which wasn't enough but w/e gambol. The money was absolutely necessary and it did make downswongs more stressful for me which she hated cuz it would affect my mood.

She wouldn't ask me too much. If I had a bad session, she could usually tell by my demeanor and then would just say "bad session eh?". "yeah". and that was usually the end of it. I rarely provided specifics.

How much do I bet/fold?

Without knowing anything about your game, I'm gunna go out on a limb and say with some degree of confidence that somewhere in the range of 50-90% of the time you bet/call, you should be bet/folding.

...but it's possible that I'm just projecting my leaks on you
