I told my dad I won $200 in a MTT today, and he yelled at me.
My dad has this vision in his head that I'm on a downward spiral gambling and that I'll prettymuch throw away everything I have and be a bum.
He feels I don't focus enough on my education (last semester was my best in college--3.2 QPA).
He also yells at me saying there is no way I could make a living playing poker (I never said I could).
How do you get through to your parents? It seems no matter what stats I show him or how I explain it I'm always just a casino gambler pulling the slot down and dropping quarters down the toilet.
By no means am I a great player (I'm just starting 2/4 limit at Party) but I can easily make $1,000 a month playing part time.
This is really beginning to be a thorn in my side.
Help!
PS I find myself browsing this forum far too often nowadays. I really, really enjoy the thoughtful posts I come across. Thanks. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
