Last night I was out at a bar with friends in town for thanksgiving, I had to talk about poker with a lot of people, an exgirlfriend asked me how much I make from poker, I told her I didn't want to say, then added, "but its more money than i'd ever thought i'd make at any other job in my entire life" haha oops, not sure how that came off.

I always end up trying to downplay poker but I think it just makes people more curious, and then I'll end up saying something dumb because I still feel like I have to prove myself. Oh yeah also before we left to go to the bar we talked about how my friends and their parents joke about coming over to my house to watch TV and use all my cool stuff before it gets repossessed because I lost everything.

OH YEA THATS RIGHT I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH A BUNCH OF RICH KIDS' and i said 'whatever man i bought it with my own money' and he said 'what do you do?' and i said 'i play poker' and then he laughed and this story sucks

The best way I've found to deal w/ these situations is the following: Bring a large wad of cash (15-20K) and smack the first person that asks you a stupid question in the mouth with it.
