Encouraging or critical?

Everyone supports it, including most of my family playing poker..

My environment generally approves of my poker game, some show interest, others smile.

my sons encourage me to play, but the wife, not so much, lol..... i keep playing

People with whom I communicate in everyday life are normal about what I do and no one criticizes me. But I have a different situation, I live in a small town and we have several poker clubs where everyone knows each other, and it often happens when people start criticizing each other right at the poker table. I don't like that, because poker for me is relaxation and pleasure. When the situation starts to pile up, I try not to swear with anyone, and just get up and go do other things.

Hi
As for poker, no one in my family is against me playing from time to time. There is nothing wrong with this, on the contrary, sometimes I withdraw money and buy gifts for my relatives.

People that know me know I make my own decisions so no point in pushing me either way. Most of my friends play now as well. So I have the more serious people play on Tuesday night and the others on Thursday in my home. casinos no longer have poker here, so that sucks.
