It's very bad when you get your attention during a poker game but after all your family can help you by bringing you some snacks and juice

Most importantly, do not interfere. So you can safely play.

lol, my family. God willing they live a long time. The games I can count of the top of my head are these.

My kids/ and ex were 1 day making so much noise during the bubble of the "Sunday Million" that I lost all train of thought and seen absurd numbers (The blinds, seemed bigger than they really were) and because of that I shoved A.I, which than lead me to becoming the bubble boy.

Another time, my brother (I always have my log-Info auto) on the poker-sites. So on a certain Sunday (Few years back), my brother came to my house on Saturday and he knew I played poker, and I worked hard on my B.R on Stars at the time. So he was bugging and bugging me to allow him to play with my money, and I was like nah, anyways I went to bed. Woke up the next day my B.R was "Busto", lol. He apologized left and right, but It was really a bad day.

Few years ago I was Chip leader of a 80k GTD with less than 100 to go. I was doing well and doing my thing and In the zone, and than (I don't know why), my wife came over and asked "What I was playing for"? To which I showed here the "Tourney Lobby", It was like $17k- $25k or something of that nature, so seeing that number she stuck to me like glue, and even forced me to fold A10s/AKo/JJ and I busted In 30th spot.


Needless to say my family has been an eye-sore to me when It comes to poker, but It's my fams, what can I can.

The main thing that poker does not interfere with the family !! We must devote time and family, the game can not be more than your family! You can always get up from the table and join the general family matters!

If family is rather a hindrance to you while playing Poker and a tournament is really important to you, you best find a silent place to play.

I dont think that you gonna have much success in a game when you are playing with one eye only

While I do not have a family, but my girlfriend does not go around the house from time to time, thus diverting me from the game.

Oh, I love when my girlfriend likes to try and lay in my arms while I play and becomes an armchair quarterback, needless to say, I don't know if its the attention distraction or what but it drives me crazy. I think she got the point the other day when I threw my laptop across the room when I busted out on the bubble of a bigger tourney

My family is okay with my poker games, and when I warn about the tournament, try not to interfere with me.

Nobody in my family is thrilled when they see me play except for my brother because he also likes to play poker.

My family does not approve of playing poker, afraid that I will lose the house, but if I win 4$ in the family, a holiday for the whole day=))

Sometimes I get distracted, but it's not critical. In general, no one bothers me.

Certain family members support me playing and others simply think I'm nothing more then a gambler.
