Re: Why I don\'t tell people I play poker.
Everytime i bring up poker with one specific friend, who is actually somewhat smart we get into this conversation
Him: You know you're going to get upto like $xx and lose it in one massive hand right
Me: No, i will never play at a game where i dont have 30 buyins for it
Him: Whatever its going to happen
*goes back and forth for a while, nothing eventuates*
Him: So i'll give you $10 and you turn it into $1000
Me: WTF.
Oh, kinda off topic but i hate telling people what limits i play and why. They tell me how they can't stand playing below 50c / $1 or 1 / 2 with their 3bi roll and don't understand i can make more playing 25NL.
"oh i could never play that low, i wouldnt take it seriously"
In summation, whenever my friends ask about poker i give the simplest answers to avoid further queeries and never talk about it with other people who arent players themselves
