My dad is not very supportive of my poker playing as he is anti-gambling, but he doesn't really mention it. It probably helps that I'm a winning player. My mum is neutral on it but seems to like it because it gets me around and meeting people. My brother just thinks it's cool because he's one of those people who believe that nobody can ever win long term at any kind of gambling - he's very wary of "the rich get richer" and insists that "somebody can just sit down with more money and bully you" and never listens when you tell him about maximum buy-ins or the fact that all poker players in a tournament start with the same amount of chips. My fiance loves that I play poker and finds it really cool - but I think it's just the holidays from all the tournaments I play! So I've never really had any problems from gambling with my family, but honestly I don't see why they would have a problem as long as you aren't losing ridiculous amounts of money: even losing a small amount of money is fine as long as you have fun - poker is entertainment just as much as a movie, going bowling, or playing golf.
