Message: [QUOTE="bonart, post: 5878043, member: 447857"] Poker to many here in the UK is considered gambling, and associated with online betting with the bookies, horse racing and casino. Stories of many families destroyed with people suffering bad losses to the bookies due to their gambling habit. I find it hard to convince others that poker is a game like chess. That we can enter tournaments on freeroll and even win some money to build a bankroll and then compete in micro stakes tournament. I know because I was one of them and it took a relative staying with us a week to show me how it is a game that is possible not to incur heavy losses. But in fact, can be a good income for someone that is not able to go out to work any longer. [/QUOTE]
