And how is your relationship with your family in relation to poker? I remember that when I made the decision to become a professional I had zero support from my parents, I went through things that I never thought of going through in life, all this for the fight of my dream and it was with a lot of willpower and persistence that I managed to reach on my goal, and after my parents saw my study and decision routine along with the financial part happening, they started to respect me.
I believe it's a natural prejudgment for our culture. I do not know what passed, but I also had some blockage, but it changed when they saw that it was possible to make money with poker. But of course there is still a lot of prejudice, not only within the family, but also outside.

Man, what a cool story. Poker can bring a lot of family conflict. Glad you were able to build a different story. I play as a hobby and managing time is the biggest challenge I have here with my family because a poker tournament takes at least 4 hours....

Of course, my family is interested in my affairs, but only I make the decisions about what to do and when. No one close to me has ever criticized my passion for playing poker. In my family, everyone respects my decisions and my choices.
Is very good

My family is starting to understand now that poker is card chess, before they thought it was like Casino, but I have a strong personality and I keep going regardless of what they think!:sneaky:🤟
True, poker is more complex chess with more variables. I wish you success on your journey

Hello brother

You have to understand this.
You talk about poker in general and everyone will treat you as a gambler, because in truth poker, which today is considered a mental sport, for the rest of society it is just a game of money, in which in general you are going to lose more than you will earn.
If at the beginning you study and, for example, you deposit US$10 and tell your parents, for example, that you won US$1,000 in a month, they will say "and well, we have to wait, he was lucky".
But if you already start earning $1,000, $2,000 or even $5,000 a month, they'll say "ahhh look, it's not that lucky, the guy looks like he has a skill" and they'll start to see that your achievements and your study are taking effect. in your daily life improving it.
That is why the important thing is that, if you decided to play and become a regular player, focus on your goal that you are going to achieve it.
But always with discipline and study.
Greetings:):):)
That's it my friend

Good job on your part, not allowing the lack of support to rain on your dreams. Now with your families support and the knowledge that you have what it takes without any support, the sky is your limit. Good luck and keep living your dreams :).
