Personally I would be surprised if he is capable of driving to Poker, least of all being sentient enough to play. If you are induced Sunday night chances are you will either have a long and restless night Sunday and possibly even a baby by Monday morning. Now, if that happens he will probably be in need of sleep for most of Monday, as will you! And if the bub isn't born til Monday arvo then FOR sure he will be too tired to go to poker, because you both will have been up for possibly 24 hours at a stretch (babies often take a looong time to make an appearance!)
It sounds like normal "I am not going to let this baby change things" behaviour. Stupid, immature, crazy, insentive - sure! But within the bounds of normal. My DH said and planned some crazy things before #1 was born, as I am sure I did. But bubs have a way of putting aside the best laid plans.
Personally, I think it comes down to this. You don't want him to go. Once that baby is born his job is to be there for you. Simple. He shouldn't go for that reason alone. But it sounds like the deeper issue is his fears about how his life will change after bub arrives....
My DH had these wonderful ideas of what he was going to do while I was in hsopital, and when DD actually arrived, he couldn't stay away. He was the proudest dad and all I was allowed to do was BF when he was there.
I am sure he will see there are more important things then poker on the day..
