Right. Let's face it.. there's a stigma (in certain parts of the world/with certain ppl; ie: fundamentalists of almost any religion..) behind POKER; what we all so dearly love that we spend hours on it daily/weekly.. and raise our blood pressure over suckouts etc etc...

But how do we deal with those closest who may hold such a stigma over it....

For example.. a really conservative gf.

I'm from Malaysia.. a little country in South-east Asia but I consider myself quite liberal being educated in the UK. But my gf recently found out about my poker playing and puts in it in the category of 'gambling' and was shocked that I only let her know about my recent 2kUSD (3 months ago) win just recently...

So a few issues she has cropped up:
1) Poker is evil..it's gambling!
2) I don't trust her, I didn't tell her about the winnings earlier
3) I bought stuff with the winnings for her.. which she considers to be 'Dirty money'

[B]Sorry if I'm turning this into an agony aunt column but does anyone else face such problems? And if so, how the hell do I deal with it?[/B]

I've told her I'm going to have the 'poker talk' (we were long distance for a few weeks but now I'm back home) where I was going to tell her how poker is a game of skill and about bank management...
