Beat: People think I'm a Bum. BBV, help me Brag?

[Hank Scorpio]

My logic: hot girls don't have sex with bums...unless you pay them.

Yeah wear a nice watch buy a grill, when its time to pay for lunch say i got it and drop like a k on the table and leave. For real though just say pokers been good to you and you feel like you can make a better than average living from it. Thats modest and honest.

[kindergartencop]

just say how much do you hope to make in your first year at your "real job"....they answer $xxxxxx then say no not one day a whole YEAR...oh wait are you serious? then laugh and slap them in the face with a burning wad of hundos.

How about, "I came into a sizable chunk of money and now I do some technical writing and work with an improv group." When they ask how you came into the money, just say you won it. they will assume lotto or something so you will probably end up getting hit up for loans all the time.

I find your problem to be peculiar...when I tell some stranger or distant acquaintance that I am a poker player, their eyes usually light up and they become interested to some degree or another. Mostly they ask some uninformed or strange question, like "do you play poker on tv or on the internet or what?" Sometimes, they act incredulous, and, yeah they usually got a poker story of their own; but it's rare that I meet someone who can't begin to wrap his mind around the fact that I play poker full-time, for a living.

I don't know you or your offline personality at all, but I would say you shouldn't go out of your way to impress anyway by getting a "baller watch" or telling them you are an actor, or even do those things by way of "explanation." Now, if you want to wear a blinged-out watch, or aspire to become a performing artist, then go with that, but you should never have to pretend to be something you're not comfortable and familiar with.

Anyway, it's generally not rewarding to hang out with people who can't begin to understand that college isn't for everyone and that there are limitless paths to pursue in life.

some options:

1) Pimp Cane
2) Diamond Studed Pimp Cane
3) walk around with a suitcase handcuffed to your wrist and talk into your sleeve once every 20 mins or so, you def look important and no one asks questions
4)ridiculously overtip at restaraunts, i.e. $100 tip for a muffin
5) get better friends
6) "i work with retards"
7) i make money from the internet

i could go on but these should suffice

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?

[shaniac]

Also, yeah, you can matter-of-factly reveal that with the right amount of talent, luck and work, a successful online poker player can make as much money as a good lawyer.
