[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] People always want to learn how to do it too or the cliche... "Hey man, what if I give you $300 of my money for you to double it, can you do that?" [/ QUOTE ] or when someone tells me that I should quit now so I don't lose it all. I just don't tell my friends at college anymore how much I make, the novelty has kind of worn off too. LOL, its sick how often I get this. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ] One girl asked me what I would do with her if I were playing. She was hot and flirty. I told her that I would figure out her tendencies and start manipulating bet sizes to get all her money. I still don't completely regret my answer. [/ QUOTE ] Boooooo. Start joking about wanting to get her into a game of strip poker - I mean jesus wtf are you thinking? Edit: Looks like someone beat me to it. [/ QUOTE ] FWIW, even though he did pass up a shot at getting some, i appreciate the humor in his response, and lol'd when i read it. nice work silver.

Example of conversation: Friends Mom: What time do you usually play? Me: Sometimes in the day sometimes at night, whenever I feel like playing. Friends mom: Wow, you have a feeling when to play? (With the a dumb look on her face like I am a degenerate.) Me: Not a feeling of luck, just when I feel like playing. Friends mom: Squints at me with a disgusted face. Gawd,I felt like strangling her. [/ QUOTE ] when do you strangle her? when you feel like strangling her!!!!! GOGOGOGOGOGOGO

Re: Why I don\'t tell people I play poker.
I understand why most people feel the need to cover up, lie, or whatever, but it's really a lot easier when you just say, "yeah I do enough to get by for now." I have been around a lot of people who give seemingly modest answers but that lead people to ask more so that they can brag without seeming boastful. I find that 100x more annoying that people's curious questions about something they don't quite get.

i didn't tell my parents i palyed poker until i had made like 70k, and i still live in their basement lolol. I don't really get stupid questions that you guys seem to, obviously people are curious, but everyone i have told (and i do avoid telling people like the plague) has atleast pretending to be understanding and is just curious about how it works. I guess i don't talk to alot of dumb people which is nice. [/ QUOTE ] How can you make 70k playing poker in your parents basement, without them ever knowing?
