I currently live in Oklahoma (I am not from here). I am in a 40000 pop. town/city (big for local standards, I mean it DOES have a super wal-mart!). I currently attend college as a full time student, although this will probably be my last semester. I don't talk much about the fact that I play poker, as I think keeping a low profile is fairly important in my situation. However, unfortunately somehow the information got out and it seems a lot of people are aware of what it is I do and while they don't know how much money it is I make, they think its a lot. I mean, one of my college professors and my counselor both seemed well aware and were curious as to how much I make. While its cool that people think I am really ballin' it up (which I don't really think is the case quite yet), it leaves me feeling uncomfortable.
I just wonder if I should be worried that somehow the wrong person is somehow going to be informed and I can get in some kind of trouble for what it is I do. I mean, I do not feel like I can comfortably label myself as a poker player given the legal situation in the U.S. as far as gambling. I am not a U.S. citizen, and I plan on moving out at the end of this year, but while I am here, should I have any reason to be worried?
