They know but they don't want to hear the stories, just the results.

my family and friends know that I play poker and play for real money, and they have never been against this idea and have never discouraged or said anything bad about poker and have always supported me, not to mention the wins and losses, but how is it with you.
My family is neutral about my passion for poker. They do not consider poker a promising game that can bring income. But nevertheless, we do not have conflicts and everyone does what he likes.

At the moment, all my friends and family know that I play poker and I take it easy. They know that I would never lose my head for it

I don't want people to know because they don't get it and think it's just gambling.

They do and they all think that I am a degenerate gambler… but I don’t mind , I doesn’t concern me what they think … especially when for me poker isn’t gambling

No one knows that I love poker. I train and train and train and do not play poker for money so its not a problem. I'm not planning on fessing up until later when I have made it as a tournament player.

Of course they know and support me, they themselves are far from poker, but they rejoice at my victories with me

My friends think that i cannot make money out of it yet, but dont say i should quit yet, my family has been supportive, i have over ten years of experience, and i think that once i decide to start out with a good bankroll, i should be making good money, some screens of my last good results, didnt qualified for 4th round to bounty builder, but i post screenshot for you to see the context of what was after 3rd round where i got disqualified for testing positive on donkey movement

My close group knows this, some believe that I dedicate a lot of time to it and others that it is a good hobby with a good income.

Yes, they know, I myself decide to play poker or not, I don't have any addiction to the game, I follow my own rules, so everything is fine.

my family at first thought it was very bad, they thought it was just a game that I would waste time and money, but over time they accepted it more willingly and even supported me

Many friends and family members know I play poker. Their opinion on poker is mixed. Some don't mind unless one is addicted.
