Why I don't tell people I play poker.

[ahnuld]

My friends ex gf (she sortof cheated on him) was being sort of a bitch to me last night. Then we started talking about poker and she asked me how much I make. I said " I dont like to say it, but ill tell you this. I make 750$ an hour." That shut her up a bit but I was still pissed from before so I bought shots for everyone at the table but her and her friend I didnt know, and toasted

"bros before hoes" while making sure to look at her when I said hoes.

Yeah, sorry for being OT

i usually don't get people doubting my ability too much these days, but I'm glad to have something Official to point to if they ever wonder if i can really make a living doing it

A few months ago I did see a guy I used to play $5 buyin games with in college. He was kinda cocky about his game then, and wanted to play me again. I was kind of like "Ummm LOL while you were off working at some Christian center for $13,000 a year I was playing poker for a living, but sure"
I'm going to see him again in a week or so. Hopefully he thinks he's still got it on me.

Just a side question, what do people think is a good profession to tell people who you do not think should know that you are a poker player?

This happens with all sorts of jobs, people who don't understand them have zero respect.

I work as a software developer and constantly get asked to take a look at people's broken printers/monitors, or they have a weird error message that keeps popping when their computer starts up. I haven't a clue how to sort these things out and it's like "I thought you did this for a living" or "I'll even pay you if thats the problem".

I've said this once, and I'll say it again. GTFO and go back to OOT.

In other news, every time I'm engaging in a social situation in which someone tells the third member of our convo I play poker...I hate having to explain the whole process of transferring money through Neteller or whatever, and how it IS secure...and how they don't trust it and [censored].

What do you do for a living?
