Re: very frustrated with telling people what I do
Dude, the universal reply to girls asking you what you do is telling them that you're Brad Pitt's ass double.
Her: So what do you do? You: I'm Brad Pitt's ass double. Her: Oh, really? You: Yeah, it's boring job, but he won't use anybody else. From there you just run with it. Make her feel your bum if she's not convinced.

Re: very frustrated with telling people what I do
If you're in school, why would you say anything other than "I'm a student"?

Re: very frustrated with telling people what I do
tell her your ptbb/100. after her blank stare, tell her you were just kidding, you're actually an underwear model for calvin klein.
OR, tell her you work with money management and risk assessment. -grant

Professional doesn't mean you have to be a master, i mean there are many "professions" out there that people in the field really have no idea what they're doing. And why not mention how much you make, it's probably like $50-$100/hr or so no? That's nothing to look down upon. Including the fact that ur a student may help to dilute the poker profession, too.

Re: very frustrated with telling people what I do
FWIW I can't remember the last time I had a negative reaction from anyone when I told them I played poker for a living. This includes a real estate agent and my current landlord. Most people's reaction is "wow, are you serious? I didn't think that was possible!" then it's "thats really cool, do you make much money?", then they find out I'm doing ok for a 20 year old backpacker. Commence normal conversation.

Re: very frustrated with telling people what I do
Without reading other responses, it seems you sorta have a big head about this poker thing. Then you add to this by saying you want to get a nice car to combat these negative feelings about poker. I doubt it would.
I also find it weird that it seems your family isn't in tune with what you are doing. Why not tell them? And on a final note, I doubt many if any long term pros have not had a losing month. GL and stay in school.
