Brag: my dad
 

So I've been running like [censored] and playing like [censored] and I think the games have gotten tougher and e-mailed my dad saying I can't take it anymore and think I will move down soon.

Here is his response.


Nick,

You are a good player IF your head is right and you have enough sleep and concentration. You have done well and basically made this your career. Don't doubt your basic skillset no matter how other people play. Look at yourself and decide are YOU playing as good as you can, because when you are on you are very good.

On the other hand, if you are tired, not right, not concentrating, not only poker but the world will take advantage of you. Make sure before you change your direction, you have a good thought process and understand why you are doing what you are doing. I think you are good enough at any level, but I also have said why move up when there is a lot of very good money easily made at lower leveles?

Either way, love you,
Dad

---That made me feel pretty good. I think a lot of parents/people don't understand what I do. Its nice to hear this. I think my dad is one of the few people that when I say I suck at gambling I wanna play for less money basically says, "BS you're great at it, get your head together and get that money back!"

Just thought I'd share.

What's a bigger brag, your dad or your location?

Re: Brag: my dad
 

That's pretty cool. My dad wouldn't even respond to such an e-mail [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Mostly because he's been dead for 6 years.

I don't understand how you could be in your 50's and not have a lot of experience in that area.

Re: Brag: my dad
 

Sounds like cool Dad.


If my Father were still around, I'm sure he'd think it was awesome that I make money from gambling (given how much he'd lost over the years).

Re: Brag: my dad

Re: Brag: my dad

lol no chance id do that but ur dad is awesome.
while my parents dont really support my "gambling habits" i could sense from a conversation between my dad and a friend of him that hes actually a bit proud of me even though i am a degen.

Re: Brag: my dad
 

wish my parents were like this

Re: Brag: my dad
 

Good for you, OP. I think you're awfully lucky to have a dad/parents that are that level headed and understand/appreciate what you do. Good for you, man.

Re: Brag: my dad
