[QUOTE="hardongear, post: 6660164, member: 1009158"] Having good results really is the key otherwise anyone you try to explain this too most will just think you're a gambling addict with a big problem and with only losing results you can't say much. On the bright side you learn real quick who your real friends are and who will except you for you. Even if you're a long time winning player micro/low stakes rec/hobby player some people will still always think you're just a gambling addict with a problem. If you use a HUD/tracker, site withdraw history/deposit history you have everything you need. Also it helps to have a good poker/life balance. So if you're playing 12-16 hours everyday, never go out and never spend much time with friends and family well......again you got no leg to stand. I wish you luck Enrique from 15+ years experience with a lot of people this is an up hill battle. I lost a number of friends over the fact I enjoy playing online poker as a hobby, am decent enough to won at the micro/low stakes while playing and had a good poker/life balance. Still wasn't good enough. All a lot of people will see is a denigrate gambler. Thankfully my family and current wife have always supported me and never gave me grief. But then I'm always careful to have a good poker/life balance. EDIT: Like the cat pic. Reminds my of my orange girl Ginger. Cheers!!! [/QUOTE]
