Re: Being Told \"you have a problem\"
[ QUOTE ]
Background...
1 year ago, I decided to play poker as a PT job.
Today, still doing it, and doing well..
Playing about 4 hours per night.
Talked to some family members about how I was earning XX per hour playing poker...
They told me I had a problem because I play too much...my one cousing, who works two part time jobs and goes to school, said.."you have a problem, but thats great!" Anyone else get this?
Maybe I should keep it to myself and my girlfriend.

I used to get it but that was pre-poker-boom. Nowadays most people are fascinated with the idea of professional poker so instead of grief I get asked alot of curious questions.
A couple of people asked me if I though I was a compulsive gambler. I usually tell them that I used to be but once I became a winning player it became too difficult of a job to be something I wanted to compulsively do. Strangely enough I think this is why I have been stuck at middle limits my entire life, I dont have the gamble that most compulsive people have.
