Re: Why I don\'t tell people I play poker.
My old boss found out through the grapevine somehow. She asked me lots of questions about it for a while, then told me her dad left her mom and has been a degenerate low stakes grinder in California for her whole life. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Sorry lady, tell your dad thanks for the monies.

We play 1/1 NLH but often buy in for $500 or so. I'm the only way who plays high stakes, but everyone has a good job so they can afford to lose but they aren't used to throwing the money around. I love to bet 10x and 20x pot. The other day, I raised to $2 in the SB and the BB made it $6. I made it $200 and he folded despite 'knowing' that I had nothing. I had 42o and showed, obv. Yay for home games!

Re: Why I don\'t tell people I play poker.
If people start bugging me about poker I just start to explain equity equations in GREAT detail, like a 15 minute rant. After that they are either, impressed, confused, or have lost interest completely and never bring it up again. Any of those 3 options are fine.
