I love the

Q;"What do you do now?"

A;"I play poker for a living"

Q;"Oh..ok. But how do you get money for the rent and stuff?"

One guy went on a 10 minute speech about how the bank wouldn't give me a loan if I asked them for one, and that I eventually would loose all my money because a friend of his had lost a lot of money playing poker.

I think a lot of people sees me as unemployed spending a few hours a day on a hobby.

Them : oh you play poker? How much do you play for?

Me : Well I've played up to $800NL but I usually play 2-400

Them : Yeah but how much do you play per hand

me : Well it doesn't really work like that it really depends on...

Me : Well I understand if you don't want to discuss it just don't get in too deep

This thread is great.

I always throw out extremely high numbers and go directly into stats analysis of the game. If they haven't gotten sad/confused and stopped talking to me by then I tell them bad beat stories for hours.
