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.

I'm always afraid to meet someone who'll be like "My dad lost his life savings playing online poker."

"Uh...my bad?"

How did you really handle that?

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.

yeah, the above is kind of the response everyone here is talking about avoiding by not talking about poker

QFT. Whenever I play live people know I'm good so for whatever reason they gave me massive respect despite the fact I never fold the button and three bet like 25% of pots. Playing like that is really fun, the only people I would get mad at are douchebags who think they are good and make fun of people just trying to have a good time.

Seriously, you could probably work on improving that.

"So they must have webcams setup so you can see everyone's faces, right?"

"uh..."

"Cause that isn't even poker if they don't"

"Shoot me in the face."

The latest:
After I make a bad turn call on a bad read and end up sucking out:

Guy: "Since you're a pro, can I have my chips back?"
Me: "Um, no."

Now I just say I'm a vagrant bum and street performer.
