It can be difficult. But everyone is working. They get very tired and my family doesn't have the strength to demand that I play less. Although there is a war in Ukraine now. Communication problems. Internet or electricity regularly disappear for some time. Therefore, it is not very profitable to play poker now. You can enter the tournament to go far and fly out, because something has turned off and there is no way to play.

It is difficult for parents to understand that poker is a game of skill and that you can make money if you take it seriously, I understand because they are from another era, in my case my family does understand and support me.

At first I had a little bit of barriers with my parents and even with my wife who was a girlfriend at the time.

But after showing the results, acceptance became inevitable. Today I have support, even though I am a trained engineer, they agree that my earnings are better.

No, but I don´t play with their money, due this I don´t care about their thoughts about how I spend my free time.

my parents actively intervened at first, saying it was a waste of time, and now they are used to only asking sometimes what is so happy

Only opinion that matters to me is my girlfriend's. And she supports me no matter what I do, so no issue there.

It is difficult at first, because they will see it as a waste of time and money, but they will change their minds when you start earning money and can help with household expenses, or if you are married when you have to pay the bill of your wife in the spa.

In my case I have no problem playing poker, rather they support me to win tournaments. The problem for some players in particular is when they overplay and bet where they shouldn't. Greetings.

Yes, when I was a young guy, there were times when I didn't play computer games and argued a lot, but I always combined work and computer games after they stopped scolding now I'm glad I play computer games because I win a lot of money:)

Poker develops well, so only a positive attitude, if everything is done with a cool head.

Everyone has some hobbies, someone watches YouTube or films, plays games and so on. I play poker, but I'm not trying to harm my family. A hobby is a hobby. Time flies very quickly.

If your player that only plays freerolls or who deposits very small amount each week then there shouldn't be a problem.

Hello. My family is neutral about my poker game. No one is enthusiastic about it, but no one interferes with it.
