\"So....now that you\'re here and can\'t work yet....
 

...what do you do all day?"

"Well...........I play cards."

people...Where?

me...On the internet.

people...All day?

me...pretty much.

people...

-"for money? Like real money?"
-"what if you lose?"
-"How can you afford that?"
-"Do you just use a credit card or what?"
-"Do you win any money? Can you get it into your bank account...like actual money...that you can spend?"
-"Can you really make any money doing that?"
-"Do you play like other people and stuff?"
-"How do you play 8 games at once? I can't even figure out what's going on in one of them."
-"Can anyone actually make a living doing that?"
-"Does your fiancee mind you gambling? She really lets you do that?"
-"So if you ever win there do you take the money and play like tournaments and stuff?"
-"Do you think you'll be on TV someday?"
-"Have you ever played Phil Helmuth? If you ever do I hope you win because he's a xxxxing baby. I can't stand that guy."
-"I was watching the World poker tour yesterday and...."
-"Poker on the internet...I don't understand?
-look of concern..."I hope you don't lose too much."

I now just tell people I'm unemployed until I can get a work permit and that I just try to keep busy during the day.

ps...8-tabling 40-50 hours a week sort of sucks...like in a boring kind of way.

If I was QTip I'd remember your first name and say

first name: I liked your post. Thanks for sharing it. It reminded me of both my own struggles with communicating to people my status as a poker player and that I study mathematics.

I'd also like to add that my "State of the Forum" post has gone down as the second most misunderstood post in my time at these forums.

"Wow you play online? I can't do that anymore, too many chasers on there. They just stay in to the river and call down with anything."

"Do you play NL? No? Limit? Limit sucks, can't make anyone fold. Too easy for them to draw."

Re: \"So....now that you\'re here and can\'t work yet....
 

I was just joking jason. I really do appreciate your efforts to clean up the forum. I think it has helped.
