Ok, I'll give a little poker history. Been playing for 3 years now seriously until last year I took a year off. In that time I took home 40k dollars cos I played when the donks were everywhere. So last year I start uni and stop playing as my mum is worried I'll become addicted and I was getting a bit bored and tilting too much. So uni goes on and I play a bit at the casino in tourneys and lose and generally don't care as I have no student loan and am making a tidy sum on the interest of my winnings and so compared to my mates I'm loaded. So in the holiday I load up full tilt and find I have $1000 left, I knew I had some but not that much. So I play for a few hours and stop on $450. So uni comes and I start playing some 200NL and lose it $200 when QQ beats AK. This was in front of my friends and one of them went mad, going on about how its blowing money. So then 3 of them decide to BAN me from playing as I'm wasting money.

The next day I play 2 tables of 100NL and am 100$ up when I go to the kitchen to get a drink. I come back and they've hijacked my computer and demanding to know why I'm playing again. I say I can play if I want, that was 2 days ago.

Today I wake up and go downstairs, as I'm eating alone in the siting room the other 5 people I'm living with come in and tell me that they've installed wireless and also NetNanny so they can monitor my activities and that I'm not to play poker. They looked up my screenname on Sharkscope and showed me I'm a losing player and gave me some printouts of gamblers anonymous. I was stunned and so we rang my mum who confirmed that I had won a lot of money on poker. I had mentioned this to friends but they hadn't believed it and I hadn't gone on and on about it.

So basically the only way they will allow me to play poker is if I play maximum 2 hours a day ONLY at weekends and I'm only allowed to deposit $50 on a new site so they can see my sharkscope.

I want to get back into poker and this is ridiculous. Anyone had anything remotely similar, these guys are my mates but all of them are acting like dicks. I've grinded the low levels and was going to deposit $1000 and try the 100NL tables and get back into PLO but now it seems like I will have to play $5 SnGs max REGARDLESS how good I am or how much money I make. It's [censored] ridiculous.

Help???
