Well my parents are also pretty against me playing poker but my brother who's a banker and deals with numbers/investments and shit is very supportive. He knows it can be a very profitable form of income provided that you have discpline and the desire to learn.

HI There
Dont´t worry You´re not alone
Maybe 99% of poker player have some to complain ab you playing poker
And you know what? There is nothing you can do
Or you cahnge your companion for a dog or you find some hours of the day you can play
Thats it

When people from family see me playing poker, most of them do not care about it, some of them are positive and a few are skeptical. These skeptical ones, they just do not know or they cannot handle these things, so poker wakes up some of their fears! I just try to explain them and guide them about poker.

If Someone is afraid you need to assure that you will not recoup that is to raise the stakes because to play for the last money the biggest mistake can be lost, on this you need to swear to yourself that you will play only on reserve money and on those who do not feel sorry for Spend and if they lose do not regret to forget about them and wait until there will be again money that is not to be conceived. In Any case it is impossible to play for all because there is a proverb when you put on a con all tomeand all andproigit

At the beginning of my poker career, when relatives found out that I was playing poker, they began to discourage me from playing poker. They claimed that I would lose my money and maybe worse. As I did explain to them that I did not play for my own money, they did not believe. At the moment, everyone calmed down because I have profits from poker.

My dad is not very supportive of my poker playing as he is anti-gambling, but he doesn't really mention it. It probably helps that I'm a winning player. My mum is neutral on it but seems to like it because it gets me around and meeting people. My brother just thinks it's cool because he's one of those people who believe that nobody can ever win long term at any kind of gambling - he's very wary of "the rich get richer" and insists that "somebody can just sit down with more money and bully you" and never listens when you tell him about maximum buy-ins or the fact that all poker players in a tournament start with the same amount of chips. My fiance loves that I play poker and finds it really cool - but I think it's just the holidays from all the tournaments I play! So I've never really had any problems from gambling with my family, but honestly I don't see why they would have a problem as long as you aren't losing ridiculous amounts of money: even losing a small amount of money is fine as long as you have fun - poker is entertainment just as much as a movie, going bowling, or playing golf.
