when i lived at home, my dad thought I was wasting my time playing poker and that the house always wins <had to explain it was against real people
..then he said I would get shafted by the sharks < told him I was the shark
..never spoke about it much after that...my mum is just happy that I enjoy playing....I now live with my girlfriend and she is fine with it..although when I try to talk about
hands or poker theory stuff, she isn't interested and makes it quite clear that she couldn't care less...which I find rather disappointing but can understand it..
that's why I come on here, to chat pokers and interact with a like minded community
my gf has told me to start making money at poker, which brings an added pressure tbh..but even if I never make money at poker, i'll still always enjoy playing for the thrill of it...I love the game.
