Oh my god, I'm in love with this thread 😀
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Litterally JUST happened:
Playing online poker and a pretty sever storm rolls in. Knocks out the power, and when the power comes back on we notice the rain is coming in such a way that it's forcing water into the house through the air conditioner!! (You know, one of those window unit things.)
We start running around trying to stop the inflow of water, eventually going so far as to have my wife go and put a big storage tub lid on top of the air conditioner outside. In the process my wife gets soaked, but the water starts to slow down.
I'm still busy trying to save all the electrical stuff from the water, my wife says “I'm going to go dry off, and check the rest of the house.”
My youngest daughter, following my wife in tow, says “Do you have any leaks Mommy?”
Without missing a beat I yell upstairs: “Yea! She 3 Bets too light!”
"Remember, play tight. Nothing less than 83 suited."
Play Good, Run Good.

I havent been playing much lately, just here and there. Been playing a lot more golf and just generally trying to de-stress, yada yada.
Anyway, my wife said to me the other day, “you need to play more poker” because she likes all the money we get when i actually do play, haha.
She goes to bed earlier than me, so has also instigated the rule that i cant wake her up to tell her how much i have won unless its a 4 figure score haha
not so subtle brag i guess, but how many wives would be actively encouraging their husbands to play more online poker?
especially when i remember 9 years ago or whatever when i put $50 online without her knowing and it was like world war 3.
so i think you know you are a poker player when your wife actively encourages you to play more 😀
PS. I did play my first live tournament in about 6 months and ship it for 3k, so maybe she is right, i do need to play more 😀
Just now I was at my local junkfood store and really wanted a chicken sallad, but instead I think I said wrong and did order a chicken + fries. (no sallad). I was 100% sure I had ordered a sallad so when I got home and opened my food I was like, “WTF! What are the chances, sick badbeat.”
Then earlier this week I did buy a used office chair in great condition. I did justify it with “It´s only around ~8-9 avg buy ins.”

Benny…pre-black friday when I came to bed past 2am my wife would turn over and go…how much did you win?
subtle brag – it got to the point that if it was less than 5k she would just shrug and go back to bed.
well thats a good way of blowing my subtle brag out of the water! haha.
It is funny how desensitised to winning money you get. Before Ii started playing poker, if I had a $50 win or something that would have been cause for celebration.
I also spent hours researching what sort of product to buy that might cost me $100, but then that night will spend $300 in tourney buyins.

When you are calculating the equity of various hand combinations which appear on liscence plates together.
my number plate for my car is XRP-672
i always remember it as check-raise-pot 😀
In my day job I have office hours once a week where people bring me their issues for the product I work on, and if there’s a line, I’ll say “next victim” in a Vietnamese accent when the current visitor is done, and I’m ready for the next one. Maybe that’s just a local expression when someone busts out of a cash game and leaves the table 🙂

Haa I was going to write you that one on twitter.
You know you're a poker player when the Christmas holidays end and you're the only person sitting quietly when everyone else is discussing the sadness of going back to work!
You know you're a poker player when you think “here we go again” when another person with no poker knowledge asks you what you do with your life
