Default Re: Has anyone else not told their parents they are a poker pro?

i just told my parents i play for money online. they knew i played with friends and stuff, but seem to not aprove of me playing online. which i knew from the get go (hence the not telling them for 9 months).

i told them because i really didn't like having them in the dark of my major hobby. i figured i had built up a big enough bankroll from, litterally, nothing. but apparently not. they gave me the whole, "well its nice that u r up now..." but since i'm going back to school soon, it won't be an issue until i have to tell my dad he needs to add x in as other income on my tax form.
