My family enjoys my safety, when I have it. With poker you may work from home and avoid the daily threat of people running late for life, and or attempting to catch up.

I did not tell them I play poker. But my friends know and they are very interested in it. Lucky they do not think it is a luck based game so I can talk to them about it. Feels great to have friends who are interested in your Hobbys :)

Negative, even if it turns out to output something. Their decision does not change.

My family dosent like it but its your life you do what makes you happy but be responsible.



My sister doesn't like it, but she doesn't say anything to me. My ex girlfriend also didn't like it because tournaments are long. So we agreed to play on weekdays. However, when we traveled and went to a casino, she loved to see and spend the dollars I earned at the tables ...:):):):)

if there are profits and results from poker, then you are great for the family[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]
if on the contrary - at least you have a hobby[emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

My family is supportive. They know that I manage my bankroll and do not put our well being in danger (not paying bills, putting food on the table, clothes on our backs etc).

My extended family and siblings are all supportive. I am not sure if they fully understand or know that I play poker professionally but they know poker is a big part of my life.

My mom on the other hand... well she doesn't approve of gambling. Its odd because there was this one time that we all went to the casino as a family and she gave me $100 to play with. So I wonder if she is ok with it once a great while when she knows its just for fun.

It depends, if your family understands that you can dedicate yourself to this, they should support you.
But if they don't see progress, and that he's just a hoobie, then they'll be against it.

Haha before it was somewhat shocking because of the amount of hours I wasted, but about three months ago I joined my hobby and for sure she is more involved than me now, there is every time there is a freeroll haha
