Parents are results oriented and risk averse which are the opposite of how you need to think in poker. Acceptance (and eventually them being proud) came with time. The generation before really loves security
When you start to book some significant wins and have a good record people will be supportive or they will start hate in on you when I lived at home my dad would give me shit about reading poker books and watching vids on the game but I got better and when I started buying my girl friend diamond rings and booking 7 day cruises he started hating me even more lol **** him as for my friends i could care less I guess it doesn't really matter if their supportive if I'm interested in something I don't need anyone's approval to do what I want.

My family is afraid I give up of studies and just play poker! hahaha
No reaction,my family doesn`t care what i do as long as the money comes
My family doesn't like the idea of me playing poker at all. Even though I don't spend much on depositing, they think i spend too much time thinking about it, reading, playing sessions for 3-4 hours etc. I am 21 years old, a student, living with my parents. Any of you is or has been in the same situation ?
What's the reaction of the family when u tell them that u play poker ?
