Meeting Girlfriends Parents/Playing Poker Summer Job

[Quadstriker]

Been in this spot before.
Do not mention poker or gambling in any way. Do not do it. There is absolutely nothing good that can come from it.

At the very *least*, you will have to deal with 12,921 annoying questions. You will enjoy hearing such orignal wonders as "But how much have you lost?" and "Isn't that illegal?"

*Slightly* less annoying (but still a pain) is when they actually have a passing interest. "Poker? I saw this guy on TV last week and he was in the Big Bluff and said ALL IN with Big Stick not suited." or "Wow! You play poker?! Me too! I was in this bar tournament last tuesday...(This is when you slit your wrist)"

If you're not planning on making poker your career IT IS NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE to even bring it up. Trust me.
