ive been with my man for 9 months i love him lots but about 3 months ago i got a new computer and he set up poker on it so he could play it.i only see him twice a week and every time he comes over he sits and plays it for up to 4 hours a time whilst he plays it i dare try and chat to him as he'll get distracted,if he loses his money he gets really moody and angry and it can cause rows between us.i just sometimes cant believe he'd rather sit on poker for hours than spend time with me.he even tells me he knows he shouldnt play on it and lose all his money.he knows its wrong to so why does he do it.its just a silly game of poker but it causes rows what should i do?

Short term - password your computer and don't let him know the password.
Long-term - help him realise he needs help for this, sounds like he's addicted. If he doesn't get help, he WILL lose money....and probably you eventually too.
I hope it all works out for you.

Poker is fun, that is why he does it. He may also win big some day(the dream of all gamblers). You may want to get him help for his addiction.
