Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1878437, member: 33113"] Trying to explain something to someone who won't 'get it' is a waste of time. Why care what they think anyways? I've had friends watching my games occassionally, they see me win a big pot in a tournament or knock a guy out (I've explained to them a few times, it's 'tournament play'.. & then give them details of what this entails) & ask, "great! how much money did you just win from that guy?" .. sigh.. Or the comment (while you're 5hrs. into a tournament, last 100 players) "Let's go out now. Haven't you played long enough already?" Again attempt to explain 'it's a tournament blah blah blah'. They respond, "Yah but it's been 5hrs. Just play it later. You can always play another day you know." (< I've learned you're better off to just humour them.. ie. "How much did you just win from that guy?" Me, "I just won $750 off that sucker!" Them, "Yah but is it like 'real money'?" (sigh... lol). [/QUOTE]
