Yea I get supported for everything I do by my significant other. But it always comes as a price somewhere eventually. I make certain rules to follow like set a price of šŸ’° or set a time limit before I play so whether I'm winning or losing i have a stopping point. Good luck and have fun crushing it.

In my life balance is the key, I only get the opportunity to play once a week if I'm lucky. I'll start my session early while everyone is asleep so by the time they wake up I'm close to done. Family is my number 1 priority as it should be for most people.

I live alone so can do almost anything I want. Not sure what is meant by support.

hi

my loved ones don't believe that poker can make enough money to live well, I haven't reached that level yet to make a living from it, but it will happen

My family doesn't mind that I play poker sometimes. I maintain a balance between work, life, play.

I think that in this case, friends should support, and then everything will be fine.

When I started to play, many did not understand and did not support me, they asked why a woman needs this? Then I gave up the game for a while. My son grew up and also began to be interested in poker, and it so happened that thanks to him I returned). Now we are discussing distributions with him, but we agreed that if we meet at the same table, we will not regret and not be offended.

I don't get any support, my Girlfriend hates it when I play and thinks it's a waste of Time, guess I'll have to start winning something to prove her wrong :D


My oldest sister doesn't support it, my mom and wife are skeptical about it. My wife on the other hand she says she supports it but her body language keeps telling me to get a serious job. Poker can be a serious job but the thing of it is I work full-time at my job and use online poker as a hobby and side hustle. It also is a dream job of mine but I'm nowhere near that level. But I'm getting closer to that point where I can start making extra same amount of money from poker as my job just trying to make it more.

When I was married my wife had no interest in poker, it wasn't a problem however as I was just getting started back in the game & never let it interfere with husband/wife, dad/kid, or responsibilities around the house so no problems. Did have to walk away from the table now & then either in the money or with a stack that was likely to get me to the money, but so it went.


when I got married I wasn't playing I started like some months after those, at 1st my wife was okay but when it started to take up most of my time it started to be a big issue had to make adjustments and even after that I had to make more to the point now I hardly get to play its like twice a week... personally it took a toll on me sitting having nthn to do most of the time but over time I have adjusted and okay with my 3 times for the week

My wife is very risk averse (like hide your money in a mattress risk averse), so she gets nervous whenever I talk about variance -positive or negative. She's apathetic about me playing, but won't participate in talking about poker, or celebrating wins with me because it's hard to talk about poker in general terms without variance or calculated risk coming up.

I donā€™t have such problems because I live alone, but my loved ones donā€™t have a misunderstanding, although I visit them a little less often since I play poker.

fortunately I don't have anyone bother me when I play poker, and no one seems to mind it either :)

...

It's very difficult, my wife doesn't even give me any support. she prefers me to work for little money in a firm with a steady salary than playing poker. since poker has the option of winning big money. at work you can't earn more than your salary. but she is improving lately ta giving me more support.

after a long time everyone got used to it and try not to interfere. especially the dogs are waiting for when the game is over and I will go for a walk with them.

In such a situation, I managed to convince my family that this is a hobby for me.
