friends and relatives who do not play poker - do not understand why i am playing, friends who play are always happy to listen a poker stories and share their

Most people who don't know the skill behind poker think it's just gambling and that I'm wasting money. Most people are pretty impressed when I consistently win money and ask "how" and become curious. A few of them actually became pretty good poker players themselves!

The whole spectrum is from complete misunderstanding to the approval of "teach and I want".

Datdude1 · Jun 8, 2019

Most of my friends play poker and we typically play together when we can so they are cool with the fact that I play. My family on the other hand are not so happy with the fact, they say it's too time consuming.

My parents are skeptical about my passion for poker,but do not interfere,but my wife even at one time even tried to conflict with me because of the games on PokerStars! The situation was simply unbearable,but I managed to defend my passion for poker, now it's a small matter, to prove that our love with poker is mutual!

Some don't like me to gamble, some think that it's pointless because I won't make any money out of it, but they don't know how liberating and relaxing it can be sometimes , but I don't need their approval, i play for me

as for my friends. when I talk to them about poker it's like I'm coming from the planet mars.my family do not like to see me play and always ask me to promise never to play my legacy at the game. for them it's a game money and nothing more. but that does not bother me. I know my limits and I will do my best to reach my goal of becoming a regular play day.

My ex would get annoyed if a tourny lasted too long lol He finally started playing too... and I created a monster

I worked in a casino, so most people that know me aren't really surprised.

jenia stars · Jun 8, 2019

tihomir_kula · Jun 8, 2019

Relatives consider me mad and think I need to meet my doctor.

AlbieTross · Jun 8, 2019

My dad was the one who taught me how to play Hold'em. As for friends, some of them "play" but nobody else plays online for real money like I do. Only a "for fun" poker night every now and then,

blata8ruga · Jun 8, 2019

Everyone I tell finds it quite interesting and they are intrigued. A friend told me he had read that playing poker and being a stock broker take the same kind of mental aptitude. I thought that was kind of cool !

Like the majority of people and their psychological make up when you're winning and cashing there is no complaints when you're in a down swing they turn their backs

Not really happy

My mom is always supporting me even though when she doesn't like the idea but I understand how she feels is kinda weird that your son tells you that he wants to play poker and live from it haha my father is not very happy and I guess he think is a waste of time but I'm doing my best to get results and prove him wrong and demostrate that I can reach my goals.

MAGICUZ · Jun 8, 2019

Some are normal, others say it is a waste of time and money

Rahatis · Jun 8, 2019

Those who don't play poker mostly think that it's an addiction which costs money. I guess because 97% of people lose money and because of the stories for many others who have lost everything by gambling.

Lena M · Jun 9, 2019

Hello.
My family always supports me and nobody is against my favorite hobby. I believe that poker brings people only obvious benefits, such as patience and discipline, so the benefits of this great game are obvious.

Newzooozooo · Jun 10, 2019

Hi.
I live with my girlfriend. She sometimes complains that I spend a lot of time playing poker. But I am convinced that it is always possible to find a compromise and mutual understanding.
Good luck.

infonazar · Jun 10, 2019

My family understands my hobby. And despite the fact that I play a lot of time, my family never distract me.

nicolaucentro · Oct 15, 2019

There are people who do not have access to information about how poker works in modern times, for this reasons friends, family has a very ruin vision yet. Unfortunately poker is poorly seen in the family.

valeski 28 · Oct 15, 2019

Well,I´ve never had any problem with my family due to poker.Thanks to poker I´ve a bought a tablet,clothes,sneakers,and I´ve given some money to my mom everytime I withdrew some cash.But friends and other people look at with surprise when I tell them that I play poker some hours per day..Idon´t care because I´m not doing anything wrong and this game is very exciting isn´t it?

tladake · Oct 15, 2019

The funniest are the ones who never played poker before and thy judge you. Some of the people think poker is just gambling without thinking and strategy. But most of my friends have no problem.

Sokolik · Dec 16, 2019

Some people judge me. Others support. Don't pay attention. Do as you see fit.

lybushka · Dec 16, 2019

Here were I live poker has zero tradition, everybody considers it at best an expensive entertainment, but the majority - including my family - sees it as a pure gamble. I gave up trying to explain them:.(
