Message: [QUOTE="scubed, post: 5749270, member: 299693"] I have both family and friends that play poker but most of my friends/family do NOT play poker. I enjoy talking and playing with my friends/family that enjoy the game. I am the most passionate about the game, also the only one who studies the game. That is OK with me, I'm happy to share my knowledge with my friends and family. Sure I share hands. Sometimes they ask me about bankroll. My Mom only asks me ONCE a year because she (my Mom) understands that variance is a real thing. It is not today's game that matters.. it is all my games over time! I feel lucky that my loved ones support me greatly. There have been a few that I had to teach. I found that comparing poker to investing in the stock market helps my friends/family understand that each hand is an investment and it is up to me to make the correct decision to make the game a success (if I don't get unlucky) :) [/QUOTE]
