Ask her what she likes to do and if she really wants you to stop ask her to stop doing what she likes to do as well.

Are we hearing the whole story here? Is it that she can't, or won't except the game or is it taking you away from her? If you spend as much time, or more, playing poker than you do with her then you have your answer.
She may not understand or have any interest in poker. So she is not likely to sit down with you and decide that it is a lot of fun just because you want her to.
As the lord said, thou shall have no other gods before me, and I think that may have been written by a woman. If it even seems like you love poker more than her she will not be happy with it or you. Yea! I know. Makes no sense. But it is true and if you love her you must try to show her that you love her more than poker.
I am not saying that you should give up poker. No no no. Just give her more time. And maybe, like the lady said, make a game out of your lovemaking and you may find her more accepting of what you do.

Maybe you can teach her the game. Let her spend a little time with you doing that, even if she doesn't end up playing poker regularly. That doesn't matter. It's the effort to involve her that matters. And ask her about something she likes, try to look inside her world a little more closely.
Make sure there are not other problems for which poker is just the scapegoat, such as spending enough quality time together. Good luck!

What is it that she hates about it?
What you need to do is compromise. If she feels that you play it to much and it is taking time away from her try and play less or designate certian nights as "poker nights" and try and help her set up something special for herself on your poker nights... like every week while you have poker night she goes and gets her nails done... or something she LIKES to do. If this becomes a routine your poker night will be something she also looks forward to.
But, if she doesn't like poker because she thinks it is immoral to gamble you need to sit down with her and talk about your values and her values. Why does she feel it is wrong? Listen to everything she has to say and really think about it. Then explain to her why you like to gamble... and try your hardest to stay away from "its my thing, deal with it." Try and say you think its fun to be in a competitive game that you know well with friends.
Good Luck

Maybe it's not the poker itself but the time you spend playing it. Is it more than once a week, with the guys? and how much time is it taking away from time with her. Does she know how to play , if not show her how and if possible invite her and her friends

Don't let your poker game interes to compete with the atention gived to her; so give her more atention and try to not exagerate with the game.
May be she is afraid that you loose to much, so she try to make you quit the game in order to not spend money for nothing.
In the same time she can figure that related to the game there are also other things like alcohool, drogs, hores, or other illegal temptations.
Try to find first whay she hate this game, and afther that you will know how to act.
Good luck!

Play strip poker with her!!! And after that, show her your real POKER, the one between your legs. Maybe you spend too much time on poker that you already forgot to POKE HER often, hehehehe...

You know, it depends on many things for a good answer for you. sometimes it feels like a man wants to spend more time with friends and it makes you feel unspecial. Do you do special things with her? Maybe she feel like you dont care to do something special but only for friends. It is different if you are married or if are dating. Okay, if you are just dating she should not have too much say . if you are married or have kids then it will be different because man should be home most time with kid and mom But you dating, so take her to do something nice. It also depends on if you are having rough time with money. Do you take extra money so she has nothing much for herself? Hard to say because I dont know situation. Sometime you have to make compromise in a relationship if you are serious about her. It depend too if you have good or bad relationship. like everything is good or bad? did you hurt her in the past? Or she hurt you? Also I went thruogh similar thing with my husband. I got very mad when he do something with friends it was because he did something that hurt me very badly, you know, emotional and I think he was not trying to make relationship better. so he stopped going too much and we spend time with friends together. it make me more comfort . But maybe if yuo have always good relationship then she should trust you and thatyou want to be with her, even when you are gone. But you see, it depends on what it is like between you emotionally, financial, and many things. There is reason why she does not like it. if You just start dating her, then she wont like it ever. If you with her long time, there probably is reason. Maybe you have to really look at situation and her to see why is it she hate that and listen to what she say. You know, she just woman too. If you love poker more than your girlfriend yuo should not be with her okay. If you love them both the same I think you have a gambling problem or not love her too much. A person is worth more than game. Never say to her you love her and poker. That make her feel very bad I think and make her yell at you. But try to make compromise. I hope I help you little.

haha. You can't "get her" to do anything. You should kick her to the curb if she gives you crap for going to Guy's Poker Night or something. That will definately be issues later.
If she loves you, she should love all of you, including your interests and flaws- if not love than accept thats part of who you are.

u cannot get anyone to accept something.It would rather be easier if u accept that she hates it.U cannot manipulate with the other person.Just accept it how she feels about it.
If poker so important then find someone who loves it as well.
