mine are too, and I run with the NYC young professional crowd more than anyone else.

college kids are likely not to know or care what poker is and assume all 20-somethings out of school are losers. people who know you've graduated law school but play poker for a living can guess that it makes financial sense for you to do so. it's mad fun seeing them jealous. holla.

Well, I didn't graduate law school like you. I dropped out of college.

I guess I act embarassed when I say what I do, which could be a big reason why I get the reactions I do. I'm not really embarrased, I just hate talking about it, and also hate to sound cocky. I also picture the other 90% of kids my age who say the words "I'm a professional poker player" and that just makes me act more embarrased.
