How do your loved ones perceive the fact, that you play poker?

[Tenek26]

Have you ever had a conflict with your family / friends because you play poker? Did they support you or be against it? Tell your story.

 

[MattRyder]

My wife is very supportive. Of course, I'm a very conservative gambler, not the kind to risk losing the farm.

 

[AlbieTross]

My dad, who taught me how to play Hold'em when I was 4 or 5, makes a comment anytime the fact that I play comes up, but he knows in the end I'm responsible with my money so I don't think he's too concerned about it. Besides, he's the one who got me hooked on it!

 

[Nelly404]

We both play and yes, we usually have conflict in judging the odds

 

[GRIN281289]

Of my relatives, nobody is against my poker game, but there is no support. For them, it looks like a regular other online game or something else.

My girlfriend been happy ever since ac R/black chip has been having issues. Looks like the live play might have to kick back up.

My family doesn't really mind, my kids know both my Mom and I play , and my hubby used to , and he has replaced it with golf online.

Golf online. Cool

 

[Bev]

Golf online. Cool

I tried it , and didn't do well - way to much math in it for me !!
Also, there things like wind , hills , trees etc, that you need to deal with and you need to pretty much finish the game ... when I am in a cash game or even a tourney and am not doing well, I can leave !

Ypu can pause your game in online golf if you are playing by yourself thoug , poker you cannot.

With great interest))) My beloved one is fond of poker, so, he supports me. Even our parents and friends know about my interest to this game and they are not against it because I do it when I have free time.

 

[sergo1203]

I do not support. You think this is a waste of time.

 

[19aleks57]

My relatives perceive my stories, and suggestions for further games with a smile! They say I'm sentimental ...

 

[Zvezda kz]

No one supports my poker game. Nobody believes that you can make money in poker. Absolutely everyone thinks that poker is the equivalent of a slot machine in a casino, and only luck will give you a chance to win poker. I do not prove anything to anyone, I believe that only facts will help prove my case.
But online poker is more likely to earn rake for casinos.

 

[belizebum]

Most of my family think I play too much. My friends support me. You can pick your friends, but you cant pick your family. So I just play and tell some of my friends when I am in a big tourney. Small stakes, I just keep it to myself.

 

[Elcholu]

In my family, I am the only one who plays poker, for what others ignore, and only see it as a card game.
From my friends I get a lot of support, with them I share my emotions and experiences of the game, and I take refuge when things are not going well.

 

[Russian Idiot]

My mother treats my card hobby very badly, says that I am wasting my time and never win, like that.

 

[tazzmaster62]

nope never
my wife prefers me online, than being out
she would rather have me at home with her lol .......

 

[Zorba]

I don't care what they think, I'm an adult and can do what I want when I want.

BTW, the one that matter don't say a word to me about it.

:top:

 

[curiplop]

my mother thinks that I play with gangsters with postolas, smoking and low light and they kill you if you win a hand

 

[JAAMEZz]

my wife is so disinterested in poker, only time she gets mad is when i run good deep into a tourney and take forever

 

[JAAMEZz]

oh and also when i want to watch it on tv, she HATES watching poker hahah

 

[MishkaZL]

My family is not against my passion for poker. Firstly, it is not harmful to health, and secondly it is a good exercise for the development of logical tactical and strategic thinking.

 

[mtmigmike]

When I lose, I become angry and I can hurt my wife and children, so we quarrel over poker, now I play freeroll and my relationship with my family has improved, they do not swear at me when I play poker.

 

[Lena M]

Hello.
My family always supports me in everything and for me it is the best support group.

 

[Psyanide14]

As long as I don’t neglect them they are fine with it. I usually play when I’m by myself. I also usually play on mobile so I can do other things while I play, like making dinner or emptying dishwasher, etc. I also play micro stakes so money is not an issue.
