Message: [QUOTE="Karkus77, post: 1868492, member: 81018"] i am sure all of us have experienced this to a small degree, you tell someone thet you play poker, as a hobby, for extra money, or as a full time job and people who have no idea about poker think because its referred to as gambling, they assume its just a game of luck, ala roulette, betting on the horses(yes i know this is not purely luck, but it is referred to as such by mindless people), buying a scratchcard etc etc once i point out the Ducati in the garden was paid for fully from poker winnings, the next question is "will you teach me to play" one guy i used to work with knew the money i had made from poker and asked me to come round one night and show him how to play online, i agreed, he was a good mate. i told him to get setup by downloading the poker room and depositing some money i arrive at his house and we load up the poker room, i check his balance $10.00, his FIRST question was, "how long do you think it will take me to turn this into $100, this weekend?" he seemed to think with a couple of house of lessons on the rules of poker, he would be crushing it and making loads of cash from his 10 bucks lol i showed him the basics of poker and good hands and where to raise, how much, position, bankroll management, the basics of SnG's and Cash, we played a little micro cash for a hour, and finished a little up, played a $0.25 SnG and got a third, he was all set after the weekend i checked his sharkscope to see how he was doing, after i left, he played 2 $5.00 SnG's busted in something like 9th and 7th i asked him at work the next week how it went, he was confused and wondered why it was such a hard game to make money.......... safe to say he has never played since sorry for the tangent, just thought it was a funny story :) [/QUOTE]
