Due to the amount of time it takes to play poker, tournaments are usually quite long, some problem always bring some more problems if you play at semi or professional levels

Family Interferance with Poker?

Hello. My wife does not mind at all. My family members think it is really a neat game.

If you are not allowed to play poker by your family, you really better not play.

Well, my wife does worry that at some point I could get addicted to gambling and lose away significant money. Although I understand her concern, I have everything under control, it was just a car, we still have a house.... jk, I wouldn't gamble that much.
I do have a great time playing as when we gamble we get a few doses of dopamine in the process, so yeah, people get hooked to it. But as the racional person I am, I would always prioritize other things over poker.
When I do play poker my wife leaves me alone, she understands that I'm using my time and gives me my space. <3

Depending on the weather, at one time or another you leave the game to do something for your family. And this is normal, keeping everything well around is important to your mental strength. Anyway we should know how to balance all this, so that everything goes well! That's the way, good luck to you all.

Sometimes my wife doesn't like it when I can't pay enough attention to her because of the tournament, but when I spoil her with the winnings from the tournament, she stops being angry. I don't tell my parents that I'm into poker because they think it's a dangerous game of chance.

In this case almost the same as I am trying to make my lady of the poker world participate and she liked it although she does not spend as much time as I do because of our children , but if at one point the family and the game will interfere a lot

Family is more important than poker. Take care of the family and the poker will take care of itself.

I know many players that have issues with family and the fact that they are playing endless hours online tournaments. Cash isn't so bad because one can step away when needed and keep a life balance much easier.

It is important to make a balance between life and Poker, in my experience, I had many conflicts when I started in poker with my family .. Today they support me (not 100%):icon_porc

For me, it's a slippery slope. I'm always balancing my poker time with wife time. She feels left out when I'm in a long MTT, but that's the goal. It has been getting better lately because I did have to cash out my winnings just to get her to understand that I'm not wasting my time. Marriage......;)
