So if you've convinced the therapist that you're making money and aren't ruining your life, what should you answer if she askes: "But wut about the people you're winning from? You might be ruining theirs..."?????

I guess I'll go into a little more detail. I've just started about 2 months ago and haven't played that much. So far I've won $200 from micros (started from NL2) for about 1 hour a day. I only 2-table and I pay a lot of attention to the tables and post hands in uNL, and basically trying to learn whatever I can get my hands on.

Have no clue whether therapist knows about poker.

"son, no one knows whether they're a winner in poker after two months of playing. you haven't even had your first monkey tilt session or moved up from $10NL to $10-20NL to recoup losses."


srsly. two months?

i dare you to tell your therapist the truth:

most poker players are losers and any form of gambling is a very dangerous preoccupation for 90+% of the population.

maybe from there you can develop a healthy discussion that will help you learn to avoid some pitfalls and have a voice of reason in your head reminding you of what normal people do with their time and money, so as to create some moderation in your life, which, many poker players lack.

Jealous that you have to pay for female interaction???

Female therapist is probably just a more expensive version of a hooker - minus the sexytime - add 2 parts more emotional damage. GL sir

that's what she said

OP is a teenager at most - whatever he says and does will get ignored anyways. Just tell your parents to f-off and go pro while you're still young enough to do it.

I don't really feel like answering any more questions because it is personal. However, I did try to explain to my mom ( Korean btw ) how I play poker by making +EV decisions. And all she replies with " Gambling is bad. It can ruin your life." And then she brings up the therapist.

Does not compute.

Seriously though, i think myself and most others are interested in a trip report after the visit.
