None of my family play poker and don't really approve of gambling. That said however they see poker as a recreational interest of mine and even show interest in my results and will listen to my long winded tales . Any recreational activity comes with some level expenditure, poker is no different. They may perhaps view it differently if I was constantly going broke but good BRM prevents this and the occasional good win also aids with the perception ☺️

People usually think that it is a hobby for me which it is. They know I am pretty good at it because I use to play a lot and cash out all the time.

My family take it as a gambling thing and see it the wrong way i think. They see it as non serious activity because of all the stories in the gambling world. It's just a matter of being consistent and disciplined and prove them all wrong.

Most of my friends think that winning in Poker is not dependent on the skill but luck :/

My wife thinks I invest too much free time into playing poker.

My kids are interested in learning how to play.

Some families will urge you to choose a different hobby. They're just trying to help. ;)

Poker is one of the loneliest hobbies jobs
out there and so it's easy to understand peoples criticism. Then you buy yourself a house, give your family members a car, pay for their holidays and suddenly it's not just a game to them anymore:)

My mom hates poker and my dad is not a big fan of the game either. So, I rarely talk about the game at home.

In the beginning they thought I was gambling and losing money. After a little time, when the earnings came, they understood that I wasn't gambling and that poker is a game of skill.
Now they don't care so much about it.

My family will stand behind me and watch me play. If I'm at a final table they will be watching me. They are my cheerleaders lol my mom and kids but soon my husband will be back and I have a feeling he isn't going to like me spending hours playing poker. He don't know that Poker is my first love he don't know I have a secret relationship with poker. So for now I am going to play as much as I can before he comes back.
