Re: Letter to my parents (LONG)
You should not give this letter to your parents.
It is very confrontational, does not address any of the points that your parents are concerned about, and (no offense) it's clearly written by a child.
You said yourself that your parents understand you're a winning player. Their problem with you playing poker is not that you're a losing player. Their problem is that your priorities are messed up. So your response is to reiterate that you make money (they don't care) and then prove to them that they're right about you getting your priorities mixed up by stating that you won't work more than 20 hours a week because any more would cut into poker time.
To be honest, this letter will do more harm than good. You're still trying to hammer home the same point - that you make money - instead of looking at it through your parents' eyes. This is because you're probably not mature enough to understand their perspective, and this only proves their point.
If you really want to convince your parents that you're taking this seriously, then try to work with your mom rather than preaching to her why she's wrong.
Just my 2 cents, hope it doesn't come off as too harsh.
