Varies from person to person! Daniel negreanu definitely isn't losing his life to the game! Only you can answer if you are losing your life to the game! Are you a winning player? Do you keep losing and keep depositing?

Spit on all the statements in your address. If you like - play for fun. Everyone has their own interests and views on life.
Good luck at the poker tables.

They know anything about poker? id dont, teach them. i dont play live a lot, but from time to time me and friends take a day to play some home games (pretty amateur, beer, music, food)

If they dont know that poker can be either your job and/or hobbie, let them know this also, use as example any pro that you like...

Last week we went to a craft beer house, beer+food included. :)
also if you wanna make them say "wow" there are many poker clubs that hosts freerolls (Freeroll +R)

:)

No, but must play for pleasure, to give you money is not the primary plan

You could simply get new friends that agree with everything you do and say? But, if you think this is a good idea then I'd say that you do have a bigger issue that needs to be dealt with.

So, assuming you value your friends here are some Friends v poker tips.
- Don't be a poker bore: If your friends are not poker players they will not want to hear about it as much as you want to talk about it.
- Make time for your friends: There will always be another poker game but your friends will eventually get fed up taking 2nd place to 'a stupid game'. If , on occasion, there is a big game you want to play instead of going out with friends then they don't have to know why.
- Make them ask you: In general, people like to hear about interesting personalities, good luck stories, controversy and the poker High Life. So, restrict your poker chat to just a little taster of these and you'll have your friends asking you more about it.
- Oh ... if your friends are poker players and they are telling you to quit then there is probably something wrong with your game so have a think about it (or perhaps you're just too good :) ).

Play for fun, it will be like playing sports without any dependence. Do not forget about the family, it should always be in first place.

First of all you should ask your friends if they used to play poker and how come they got this opinion, because lots of ppl talk without any own experience which is piss in the wind and shouldnt care about it. What works from someone may not fit to others and so on. But as long youre capable to THiNK dont get scared about this little smart genius 'friends' that never did someting valuable in their lives.

My friends do not play poker and also treat him skeptically. But I think that this is normal, because I have a similar attitude to their hobbies.

Before I started playing poker, I was also skeptical of this game. However, it's worth starting. Enjoy this game and let your friends know that you aren't going to exchange them for poker.

If they are your true friends they have your best interests at heart. Don't dismiss what they have to say without some thought on why they are saying it.

This is your life, and only you decide what to spend it on! If you get satisfaction from playing poker, then you do not have to go fishing with your friends just because they like it)))))

Your friends must respect your decisions ... it is more they should support you, if you like to play poker, well, play it ... you should not care what others say, it is more important what you think!
