Oh, I pay...
The difference is I pay $8. per half hour... ...or at smaller tables, they "rake" from each pot... ...tips for the dealer... ...$11 for Jack on the rocks while playing($15 if you aren't)... ...$20 in gas... ...$80 for the babysitter...
I started a separate account for poker, my bike and "extras" and I consider those things overhead...
BUT
I just found out last weekend that the OL cashed an IRA and blew all of the money last year...
so now we get to pay a boat load in taxes on the F'ing money she lost...

:angry: :bang:

:argue: :cursin:
She hasn't contributed to the "family fund" since the beginning of October and blown all of her unemployment from last year(more F'in taxes) and all her paychecks since Jan 7... :toily:
She is a technically sound poker player, but allows the emotional aspect to get her in trouble... and then those damn slots... and trying to "make it back":zzdisappointed:
Last night we were playing a $5 "fer fun" poker tournament with friends at a local bar...
she busts out of the game...
goes off and finds a slot machine at the bar that they "pay" on and starts playing...
tells me that it's OK 'cause she won te $10 bucks she put in on an instant ticket

WTF?
(I left her ass at the bar, but she is still alive this morning and very lucky I had to go to work)
I don't even like to gamble - I only play poker, the rest is all designed and guaranteed to separate you from your money.
The $5,000 I won Monday doesn't seem so good anymore...
:rant2:
Sorry for the Rant & Jacking my own thread, but I have definately paid for those F'in lights. :zzsorry:
