While I'm still new to hold'em, me, the girlfriend, and another couple are house sitting this weekend, and me and my friend agreed that we must teach the ladies how to play Texas Hold'em. The best way that I figured it out was on Partypoker.com, but since she won't do that, I gotta teach her as we play. Any tips? ???

Also, I'll be looking for Old Grand Dad for friday night AVB, so I can become a real southern boy :laugh: :sign:
 
Teach her the "Stripping" rules :whistling: :D

No really just take your time with her and maybe make her a cheat sheet for hand higherarchy(sp?) My wife picked it up pretty quick. Also sit with her and watch it on TV if you have TiVo you can pause and use it as a good visual aid.
 
You can let her watch you over a few games.





















That'll teach her what NOT to do. :p
 
Hmmm, seems frought with danger to me.

I agree. You are a brave man. You must have more patience than I do.

I would only worry with teaching her the major details (hand rankings, dealing, etc) and not even get into the strategy. It will make your head hurt.

I've got some patience. I've got more for her than she does me. She tried to tutor me in a class once, a week later I dropped it. ;)
 
Easiest way to teach a woman any game:
1. Let her win the first few times. It builds confidence and interest in the game. After this step is meticulously crafted...
2. Kick her ass good. Now, she's going to be pissed she lost. And as all women are, she will be spiteful and indignant. She will not let you get the best of her. Here's where it gets tricky.

She will either -
A. develop the desire to vigorously learn this game to kick your ass. OR...
B. never play the game again and threaten to withhold the gf/wife benefits for you having beat her in a game.

Should you be "fortunate" enough to get through option A... the final step is absolutely crucial.

NEVER PLAY WITH HER AGAIN. NO GOOD CAN COME OF IT.

That is all. :thumbs:

My first tip John would be to learn how to play yourself :laugh:

Eric, hush up, or you will go for a ride in the trunk of the honda
 
Get a car battery, hook it up to her by clamping a pair of jumper cables onto her nipples... then any time she does something wrong... ZzzzzzzzZZZaap!

She'll learn quick. That, or you'll be in jail.

No wonder your gf hates poker. :D
 
I tought mine by printing out the ranking hands, and letting her sit in on a couple games with the guys. She got her ass kicked. Now she knows her place at the poker table is at the dealer chair.
 
The only thing she needs to know: Liquor in the front, poker in the rear.

I thought these were the rules for slow shipping habits. :whistling:
I echo the sediments that no good can come of it but good luck trying.
 
Once you teach her, all of your poker games will have one of two circumstances:

1. She will want to play, and then you're at a disadvantage at the table.

2. She will want to "watch" you, which means sitting behind you, whispering questions in your ear during a hand, looking at your cards, and giving away mad tells.

Which do you think you will prefer?

Good luck teaching your girlfriend poker. You'd be better off teaching her how to go get beer, food, and cigars! At least she's not your wife, then you'd just be winning your own money... :p
