Why I don't tell people I play poker.

[demon102]

I had a convo with my uncle about me play poker, he was like Id lose all my money at poker, I play blackjack I win at that games sometimes. Im just thinking to myself in the end u leave all ur money at the casino and just laugh in my head.

I had this conversation with my folks the other day for the first time. It went like this:

them: we dont like you playing cards, its illegal!
me: no its not.
them: yes it is and you could make so much better use of your time.
me: like how?
them: well something that actually makes money, what have you made like a couple hundred dollars over the last year?
me: (laughing literally) yes a couple hundred (thinking i made more money then both of you combined - Ive seen their tax return--- this is no slight on them at all).
them: your aunt doesnt like it either
me: ??????????!!!!!??????
them: well you really should be focusing on your job (which I do by the way).
me: thanks guys.
them: plus its not legal.
me: *sigh* I explain why its ambiguous.
them: well stop for us ok?
me: yah whatever




Basically, no one understands and it actually sucks because we all know its an emotionally draining game. See, at work, which is sales for me, you get that support and I find it makes working long boring hours for next to nothing somehow seem like a good idea. Hmmm....

why not just make a joke back, they are just kidding with you

"yeah i could lose it all then i would have to go back to selling drugs"
"yeah i could lose it all then i would have to go back to giving handjobs in the alley behind the bar"
"i couldn't lose it all i would save enough for a handgun so i could shoot myself"

etc

I went to a wedding with my girlfriend, and our reception table included her crazy aunt. Unfortunately, my girlfriend didn't keep her mouth shut and told her aunt I was playing poker the night before.

The aunt started asking me all about it, like where I played. I didn't want to get into the online thing, so I told her how I go to Commerce and Hollywood Park, etc.

She said: "Why don't you go to Vegas instead?"
"Why would I go to Vegas when Commerce is right here?"
"Because if you just go once or twice a year to Vegas, you won't be tempted as much to play."

....

Good thing it was an open bar.
