Why I don't tell people I play poker.

[sdunsmb]

OMG, this thread is pure gold, I agree with so much of this BS.

Seriously, the fact that I have so many firends who know a little a bit about poker, but think they know tons makes it so much worse.

Here are some of the classic that I get VERY regularly(yes, some willl be repeated from earlier in thread)

- Are you up today?
- If I give you 300, can you double it
- What happens if you lose it all(typically from my sister or other females)
- You dont play for money do you? you dont want to get into gambling everyone will lose eventually and it becomes an illness(from my parents who dont know I have lived of poker since leaving school).
- Whats the ROLL on(from my mates who think they know about poker)
- Are you going to build up a stake and take a shot at Vegas(idiotic firends who have seen rounders
- How much are you up overall


meh, probably others I have forgotten
