My old boss found out through the grapevine somehow. She asked me lots of questions about it for a while, then told me her dad left her mom and has been a degenerate low stakes grinder in California for her whole life. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Sorry lady, tell your dad thanks for the monies.

I'm always afraid to meet someone who'll be like "My dad lost his life savings playing online poker."

My response: "oops"

Both my parents know I play poker. They both understand that it's beatable and are glad I have a way to make some extra money.

People who don't know you play poker, just joke about something when they ask you what you do for a living. "I write emails pretending to be nigerian and scam people out of money"

For people who know you play poker, who cares what they think just tell them you lost it all and are now pretending to be a nigerian scamming people out of money.

btw, this doesn't work great against nigerians if they know you play poker or not.

i didn't tell my parents i palyed poker until i had made like 70k, and i still live in their basement lolol.

I don't really get stupid questions that you guys seem to, obviously people are curious, but everyone i have told (and i do avoid telling people like the plague) has atleast pretending to be understanding and is just curious about how it works. I guess i don't talk to alot of dumb people which is nice.
