Re: I told my dad I won $200 in a MTT today, and he yelled at me.

Your daddy is a paladin. Always believing that he is right, and never wavering from his beliefs. Maybe if you explain the mathematics behind the game he might be convinced it is not pure gambling and that you have a long term advantage?
Most people have hobbies that cost them money (astronomy, model rockets, trains...) but yours makes you money. Shouldn't he be happy for you?

Realize that he thinks I'm running on luck. Even with all the stats I show him on Poker Tracker (he is appalled I spent money on this), he still believes that I will be "sucked in" and will lose it all (BR is about $1k right now, but I've taken out $1k also).
I'm just having a really hard time getting through to him.
He does, however, like the sound of bonus whoring and doesn't seem to mind when I tell him I'm doing several bonuses for free money.
