Sometimes, players of poker are with problems in home because your lifestyle, in a room the big part of day, facing hours after hours playing in desktop, notebooks or in smartphones... How you guys face this situation?



No, they say it's all gambling and stuff ... But one plus I don't bother them when I play :jd4::):jd4:

My family doesn't approve poker. I dont blame them though, at times my mood gets adversely affected by bad day of play.

I live alone. I don't even have a pet, so no one distracts me, and I actually play as much as I want. More precisely, I play as much as my free time allows me. But I advise you not to pay attention to criticism, and not to get into conflicts with your family, because you can always find a compromise.

My family is neutral about my hobby. They are not happy but they are also not upset. They know that I am a disciplined and prudent player and never criticize me.

Everyone should have the right to their hobby. Poker is my hobby. And it can't be taken away. :)

At first I looked very bad, but after I started bringing some money home from the poker game they started letting me play, but I still don't have the support :)

My family doesn't see anything wrong with my hobby. I play only when I have free time and a good mood. For me, poker is entertainment that allows me to relax and at the same time gives me pleasure.

For 45 years my priorities have always been family first, poker second. Excluding my pro years in brick-and-mortar casinos back in the 80s, I limit myself from two to six hours a day broken up into several sessions. Back in the 80s, if a game was going exceptionally well with a few fish, I could easily play for up to 24 hours. My previous wife liked the money and understood, but I don't have that kind of stamina anymore. My current wife is a multi-millionaire, but she respects my choice of income and entertainment and doesn't deny me the pleasure of playing. When we go on trips, I leave the laptop at home and spend all my time with her.

My family has no problem with it. I am not an addict, it's just a hobby for me.

I didnt tell anyone in my family,but I think that they would be fine with it if they knew I wasnt risking my money,but rather playing only freerolls.

They are ok with this day playing poker in my free time and he asks me questions which encourages me to keep playing.

My family is neutral about my poker game. After all, I play without fanaticism, I use a reasonable period of time. I'm sure poker won't make me a millionaire.

Mine were shocked at first, and then they got used to it and began to treat me normally. Sometimes they even try not to interfere and bring coffee.

I have never had any problems with relatives because of playing poker. I try to do all the necessary things and then sit down and play quietly.

Fortunately, I don't have such problems. I have been living alone for a long time, and therefore I actually play when I have time and desire.

My family still doesn't know it. I hope one day to make a living from poker and tell them that it's a good job that pays very well.

Parents support anything as long as you make money!
It shouldn't be like that, but unfortunately it is!

END!
