Re: I tried it for the first time this past weekend...and failed.

I talked to them about how I have played 25,000 hands of 2/4 online this year with a current winrate of 1.02bb/100. About my eventual goals of moving up and/or playing higher at the casino. My dad says "you play too tight." I say "how do you know?" He says "one bet every 100 hands! How can you stand it? I would be way too bored. That's not poker. I couldn't do that. What happens the other 99 hands?"

I also tried explaining to my mother that I do not play NL. Sheesh. She just laughs and says "that's not much money to win for all that time. It can't be worth it." Ugh.

If you're only playing one or two tables, then really you aren't making much money. But I presume that you are having fun with a hobby that brings in some extra money. That may be a better way to explain to your parents all of those hours spent staring at a computer screen muttering to yourself. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
