It's not a matter of liking the game or not. It's the lack of understanding the different aspects of the game. Or more so the lack of interest in it.

But when posing the OP's original question to my wife and daughter, I got a little different response.

"You're not that good. But, at least it gets you out of the house on Friday nights."

my family don't know about this but in my family my two elder brothers know about my game they also play
some of my friends also know but mostly they thinks its only gambling

sanych · Sep 26, 2016

My family at first did not believe in me, but after a few big wins attitude changed))

cr0thund3r · Sep 26, 2016

Well, my family approves it as my father plays too, altough I think most of the people still dont approve poker and believe that poker is bad/gambling etc...

Everyone in my family does not know how to play, so because of that they all think ita a waste of money.

Havik · Oct 1, 2016

My family thinks its gambling and it takes all luck to win lol.

BigJamo · Oct 1, 2016

At the start they were a bit worried about money (only due to what we see on tv and the huge buy-ins), but I showed them the micro stakes and all was good. I started with a min deposit roll and have never spent a cent extra since.

With them seeing me win tourneys and have a great time even when I lose, all the while, progressing really well and not getting stale ... they are fine with it cause they know they will end up with some sort of goodies out of it.

the wife doesn't believe in me and it upsets as support is very necessary.
I will prove to her that she isn't right that I am waited by joy of victories!!!

Roman Tsygankov · Nov 8, 2016

My dad supports me in poker, but my mother thinks it is a bad game and it can not help me

Nikolay23 · Nov 9, 2016

my parents don't like it.

trezvennick · Nov 10, 2016

in my family are different opinions on this subject: someone support and believe in me, someone think that it's very dangerous that I lose an apartment or climbed into debt

SPANKYSN · Nov 10, 2016

My wife does not like that I tie up the computer for many hours at a time. My son is OK with it because he understands the competitive nature of it.

Vonick · Nov 15, 2016

If I don't loose money it's ok for them hehehe!!!!

fly2tsky · Nov 15, 2016

My mother keeps saying that i'm gambling since I do host some mini home games at my place though

. however our home games tend to maximize the thinking play instead of gambling.

Only a few family members know (it's not really something they're into or would care about) but only one that knows thinks it's "a waste of money and a problem."

My mother thinks I only play online (and knows I've gotten some top 3 in a few tournaments, one for $1400) and probably wouldn't approve if she knew I play in my local casino.

Most of my friends know, some of my professors and supervisors know and most are pretty intrigued by it and want to learn more about what it's like.

I live with my SO and she supports me 100% on it. Recently since I'm still a full time grad student and income has been scarce in my other work, I've been trying to put a little more time in live I think she's afraid I'll end up living at the poker room! But it's about finding a balance.

I think too once people see you come back with cold hard cash a few times (whether you sucked out lucky or not) they start to understand real quick. But like all of you I love the game too, the money is just silver lining when it's made.

People who don't get it or think it's "just gambooling and an addiction" don't understand. I've long ago made peace with the fact that I'm taking other people's money and they sometimes take mine. As I get better at the game and start to see a little fruits of my hard work, study, and time at the tables, I'm fine with it if people think it's "not legit."

Zokac71 · Nov 20, 2016

few people know that I play poker, for example, my aunt sitting next to me watching a game, although nothing to her that it is not clear whether she likes the dynamics of the game

Dmitrii Kopylov · Nov 20, 2016

My family have nothing against poker has, I don't give a reason. The money from the family budget I spend on poker. and not immersed in the game, and when I win the money wife is happy, because we immediately go to the store ;-)

acemenow · Nov 20, 2016

They know I play, but nobody except maybe one of my cousins (that does not take it seriously) plays. For the most part they support it. As a matter of fact my mothers xmas gift is going to be a tournament buyin at a local casino this year

John16 · Nov 21, 2016

More family people playing poker, so they with me.

Gabriel Pinho · Nov 21, 2016

In my family, nobody plays poker, only me

Tomioto3095 · Nov 21, 2016

ubo · Nov 21, 2016

karkachi · Apr 22, 2017

My mother is like that always with a joke "is losing right?" ... If she wants me to dedicate myself to college, I'm fine, if she wants me to work, everything works well, if she wants me to help at home everything Well, I'll help. Now I will never give up on my dreams because of someone
