Everybody in my family plays poker. It's a tradition to play poker every Thursday evening together. It is fun and it's good for family ties.

They hate it.

Wife always scorns me for playing on line poker. Once, I was playing in a $30,000 tournament and my daughter go up set because they were visiting and I was on the computer. Needless to say, I did not do well in the tournament .

I use to play many hours a day. But, now play very little.

I never lose money. Only time I ever made a deposit was about ten years ago when I deposited $10.00 into PokerStars to play the penny rings.

Every since, I play real money only with freeroll winnings.

Most member of my family think I am wasting my time. Being retired, my time is my time. They will have to live with it.

negreti · May 12, 2015

My father accepts, however, he thinks he's becoming an addiction

4soul · May 12, 2015

when they see the results = money it's good....when they don't ....lucky games...spending time in vain!

yonosemanana · May 12, 2015

They think Im wasting my time. I guess they would feel different if I was making more than lunch money. I tried to explain BRM and the grinding process. They still dont like it.

But to me making 5 to 10 bucks daily from nothing doing what I love is way better than working a 9-5 and making 40-60 bucks and hating my life.

I dont have kids or a wife. So why the hell not!

rawbad · May 12, 2015

MY MOM TAUGHT ME POKER FOR FUN AS A KID and now the whole family plays I recently showed my 75 year old mom how to play online I think I created a monster but that's another thread

REALITYPOKER · May 12, 2015

They love it when I win, but hate it when I lose. But overall, they support my decision in playing full time.

sup3rh0t · May 15, 2015

My family thinks that poker is just gambling and don't listen to me when I try to explain them that it's not only gambling but strategy, mathematics etc. or with one word - science

lukaszkrzi · May 17, 2015

I live with my mother. She thinks I play too much, which is right

I will be taking break this week and start playing more seriously and not just for fun starting from June (when exams are gone) I will be hopefully be in freerooll club so that I don't have play with bad players, which will not improve my MTT poker game. I hope people change theirs views that poker is not gambling unlike casino, since it is heavy based on tactics. There is luck involved but it's not enough to let you win tournament or be successful in long run since players based on luck will be bust their bankroll soon after winnings.

Father today joking me.He said that I should win millions and told that I'm just wasting my time for nothing.I actually play for fun and I hope to one day win a good prize,but it needs a lot more training

rogerio tanimura · May 26, 2015

you suffer precoceito to play poker?

My family does not approve nor my girlfriend

cally · May 26, 2015

You will never receive support from significant others or family when it comes to gambling - they feel it is waste of time and consuming your soul. You do have to show them it is profitable and something you enjoy. Nobody complains when the money comes in unfortunately and very little support is showed until then as it is seen as a hobby that is looked down upon. It is unfortunate but for those who are not as educated on what a smart player can profit will not support. Good luck with the cards and hope you can bring home good steady profits and prove them wrong!
