Hey Jman, I get this all the time, some people think its very interesting and unique, others immediately put me into the degen category. It really sucks, but I don't think there is much you can do about it.

And never ever say 'I'd rather not tell it' when people ask for the most you've ever won or lost. They will then assume your just a degen gambler. Besides that also never tell when you've got a losing session.. there's no use in trying to explain it. Just buy some nice stuff and bragg a bit more about making loads of money.

One thing I have learned is that when I tell a random what I do it's a great test to see if they are worth talking to.

Also it seems like most of you guys don't care what people think. I want men to bow down and whorship me when i walk by and girls to line up waiting to suck my dick. Is this weird?

I always thought you were trying to achieve the opposite

flash the rolex when they go "oh, cool"
also, you should say im a PROFESSIONAL poker player. They will immediately think of the players they see on TV and assume you make mad amts of cash which you do.

if they laugh at you explain to them how you could buy them right now.

talking about poker money with non poker ppl is a lose lose situation. You tell them you are winning and up a few thousand or w.e and they automatically assume you will lose it. People who don't play poker can't rly grasp the concept that it isn't luck in the long run.
