    I really don't know if there's another girl like she. Last time I won a reasonable amount, she got angry, and suddenly told me that it was enough, and she really wanted a new kitchen cupboard, because "We never spend a dime from your winnings". (Usually I save up the majority of my winnings for our planned new house, and only keep a constant 2-3000$ bankroll for online casinos and poker rooms...).

    She doesn't really understand/accept the variance in gambling, and when I win above expectations, she thinks it has been won for good, and when I bust or lose more than expected, she doesn't understand why I have to refill some part (moneybookers, my saving account used for gambling, it takes 2 months to see any money from a big cheque, etc) of my gaming bankroll. It takes a while to convince her about longterm tendencies, and EV.

    I think it might be a good idea to follow D. Negreanu's strategy. When he was young - a consistent poker winner though - and went home from the cardroom, her mom always asked him "Did you win or lose, and how much?". When he won 50,000, her mom was happy, but when he lost 20,000, her mom was really sad, and asked how could that happen. But she never really understood the role of short-term luck. So Daniel changed his mind, estimated how much did he usually win per session in the long run, and every time her mom asked him, he always said I won 10,000, no matter he win 50,000 or lost 20,000. Everybody was happy.
