Have you ever tried to tell a friend that he is just not that good at poker? Not an easy task. Then imagine you have to tell that to your girlfriend or wife. A nightmare, trust me!
My wife is amazing at several sports. She is an excellent scuba diver, plays golf almost professionally, and she can be quite tough on the tennis court. Similarly, when it comes to casual games she be a strong team player, whether on a Trivial game or any board game.
The problem really arises with card games, poker in particular. Every Thursday night for the past year or so she has been organizing Texas Holdem tournaments and inviting our best friends (and “inviting” is actually an euphemism, as this is really a mandatory event, if you know what I mean, unless you no longer want t be considered one of our friends). The problem is that while these were supposed to be relaxing evenings, where we all got together with the idea of doing something different and have fun, they turned out to be a nightmare.
And so, armed with this information, I go off to inform my significant other of the news. Wish me Luck.
