    No way. Fame and money usually go hand in hand , but if 10 women had to choose between a famous guy with not much money or an unfamous guy with lots of money, I say 9 out 10 take the money guy all else being equal.

    Probably better to have them over for poker.

    This.

    Doesn't matter if you're a winning/losing gambler. In the end, all gamblers lose.

    But as long as it's only a small percentage of your income, it can be seen as a forgivable vice.

    This

    Recently became single again telling the missus I gamble. To prove to her I was making coin id tell her my wagers in advance and try to be as transparent as possible but as you said blazer, most women prefer security ie wouldn't consider that working smart can actually get one somewhere as opposed to working hard...

    This is why I don't generally tell my potentials that I gamble until at least 5 months into the rship...

    no guts no glory. don't be ashamed of what you do. tell the bitch if she doesn't like it. get the fukk out. what does she do that's so special?

    anyway, i miss high stakes poker and poker after dark. not even my money but i can feel their stress from watching these vids. can you imagine if you had to make decisions like this? when i have bad days at sports betting, i watch vids like this to tell myself, it's not too bad...

    100% accurate and End of thread.

    The only women that like scumbag poker players are strippers after the pathetic virgin nerd has dumped 1k into her pothole at the club.
    Any decent girl will not even give you a look.

    Poker isn't what you think it is. None of these "pros" are making money these days.
    About 3 in every 100 people you see labeled a "pro" is actually keeping his head above water and making money.
    They call themselves "pros" while having cell phones cut off and sleeping on a friends cot.

    All I have to say is don't play online roulette. Especially SBR Roulette. Test out 50 a spin on a certain colour. It will go 10 in a row every session against you. Love to own a casino and do that to my customers.

    QUITTERS NEVER WIN. NOTHING WORSE THAN A QUITTER! If you make your own money and gambling on sports, poker, or fantasy sports is your thing, then like NIKE says "Just do it". As long as your bills aren't affected. Life is about having a good time with no regrets. Your spouse, girlfriend, shouldn't have a say in it. Just don't let it affect anyone but yourself (example---kids come first) Moderation in anything (except drugs-don't do drugs) is the key to life. I keep telling everyone. Focus on that credit. Don't let credit get involved where your vices are concerned (credit is important and never too late to improve or fix).

    You should see some of the living conditions of the pros I've seen. 4 guys sharing a room out of a roach motel. Playing x-box and grinding 25nl on bovada to supplement their income. Guys living out of their cars showering whenever one in the group got a room comp. Guys moving to Mexico and made good money on stars while renting a $2000 a month house...with no furniture other than a bed and grinding station. What woman wants that. Poker players who have a girl usually have one for some other reason. Smart, charismatic, other jobs/business ventures they have, take care of themselves...rarely because they play poker.

    Majority of guys on here are already pot heads, Coke fiends, acid freaks, heroin heroes, speed junkys, crack heads, oxy bros, methheads or alcoholics.

    Nobody has time for GA.

    Meanwhile I am eating 3 $15 salads a day, collecting government assistance, watching reruns of Becker.

    kids grinding 25nl on bovada aren't pros. people going to mexico to rent a $2000 house with no furnitures aren't pros either. they're what you call idiots. even if they didn't play poker, they wouldn't be able to find girls regardless. c'mon now.

    what are two professions women find attractive? doctors and lawyers? ones virtually a legal drug dealer and other makes money off of people lies. nothing in life is a glamorous as the ignorant people think... nothing.

    Yep. The only pros that have money to burn are the ones that have been marketed for years like Ivey and Negreanu and the checks keep coming whether they win or lose.

    besides, training sites ruined poker. why would you teach people how to play in such a small market? it's like magicians giving out their secrets. just dumb.

    My friends and I call Gamblers Anonymous often...........

    We set the following line:

    Who will answer the GA hotline?

    Woman -120
    Man +100

    We start every poker game that way.

    The main reason was me wanting to be a traveling poker pro. She didn't sign up for that life. She was married to a stay-at-home accountant who was not traveling the world, gone all the time, and gambling a lot of money. And it was a choice I had to make. I tried to be good, stay at my job, and be that accountant, but in all honesty I didn't want to.[11]

    lol moneymaker. the guy hit the jackpot with pokerstars. his poker game isn't that good. without his sponsors, he'd still be an accountant.
