Re: Why I don\'t tell people I play poker.
I think you all need to spend a small fraction of your bankroll on a sick watch (or somethin' shiny) and to keep your wardrobe updated with some fresh gear.. If people see you lookin' clean and know you don't work, they will know what the [censored] is up..
If they ask a question about your income, you say "look at me", kinda throw your head back and walk away with an A.C Slater type of strut.. Okay?

As for being called a poker addict, I just remind them this addiction is making me money, as opposed to my old addiction: heroin. Usually followed by awkward silence, but occasinly someone realises I'm joking and actually laughs.

[/ QUOTE ] Just answer "Yes, I AM addicted. Addicted to huge sums of monies yo!!!" Then challenge them to play heads up for their yearly salary. Or better yet offer to flip them for it.
