My wife hate poker. Is hard to explain her why cant leave a tourney after 4hs of play in the middle of the bubble XD.

 

[tweezer_reraise]

seems to be 50/50 in my family...either for or against , no grey area ha

 

[cdntyler87]

My family is fine with it... just don’t understand how I can sit and stare at a screen for hours on end [emoji23][emoji23]

When I won, they supported me, and if I won nothing, they reacted negatively to my poker occupation. It used to be said, why do you need this poker, will you play all your life? lol
Now my relatives are neutral, do not meddle in my affairs, I am very happy about that.

I am too old too worry about what anyone thinks. That being said, Not sure if they even know I play poker a lot. I guess if my poker playing caused me to be broke then yes it would bother them. Because poker (live not on computer) has been minor league profitable no one seems to care either way. If I was major league profitable it might garner more attention.

It doesn't bother my family, it doesn't affect them, it's just a hobby that brings a little money, they don't mind) the main thing is that poker doesn't interfere with real life.

My dad also likes to play poker, learns different strategies and methods of playing. He is also registered at poker sites and supports me in this. Mom is indifferent to this, but sometimes she can play live for the company.

My partner and I have argued at length in the past about my poker hobby. She hates that when I play a tournament, I am committed to that tournament until I bust out or win.. This could be 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 5 hours. So I can only really do these MTTs at night when my partner and baby are asleep. We've managed to find a balance and I am generally supported in my hobby, but the balance with family is more important than anything else. Poker must not come before family, ever. We agree on that, and so it works! I do sometimes dream of the days when I was young and single and could play poker all day long, but at least I get to play.

I guess it's kind of neutral after realizing I can play profitable, it's more like a hobby for me and I'm not going to sell my apartment lol.

 

[yezzrr]

They love it when I win, and hate it when I lose.. poker is besides the point

 

[edujah420]

everyone likes all card games, especially poker for those who know how to play.

 

[orlando miguel rossler]

My family loves poker, my Mrs. and my children all play until a 12-year-old grandson learned at 10 and I taught him I know that for now it is a game the same for months that he does not play only play but when I play a nice tournament He sits next to me and we have mates and we have fun if he wins better

 

[vnnby]

My family don't play poker because this is a gamble, but I have a friend who plays poker.

 

[donYaro]

My wife doesn't like when I play poker

Thread: Is your family for or against poker?

My family is against me investing so much time in this but they will change their opinion some day in the meantime I will continue studying and playing

What does your family think about you playing poker

What does your family think about you, playing poker? Are they supportive or do they not really like it?

 

[A fox 666]

My relatives do not mind if the family's money is not spent)))

 

[Szachajevy]

My husband is playing with me and I'm so glad we have a common interests. I tried to tell about poker to other family members but after seeing their reaction I decided not to talk about it anymore. I don't think it's necessary for them to know everythin about my all hobbies and free time spendings

 

[christmasscorpion]

my family doesn't care that I play poker I try to talk to them as little as possible about poker

 

[ScottyDee]

Family

They dont really have much inyerest in my poker playing.

 

[deputat]

My family respect me and my interests and have nothing against poker

 

[Juan Oro]

Most think that it is a game of chance, others think that it is a vice or a waste of time trying to make a living playing poker.
Very few will understand about the game and few will support you, you just have to show them with actions that poker is a game more of skill than luck and in the long term you will see the good results that can be achieved with discipline. more important is that you always believe in yourself and your vision about poker.

 

[manzanillo53]

I am 68 so I do not care, my life my money. But that said I do not let it interfere with family obligations.
