Default Re: Making more money from poker then I will ever make from a real job

You dont tell your parents you are rich by playing poker?

You have to do it.

They will not understand and think you can lose it all over a weekend. And you will show them your $50K and say that is money u never ever will use for poker (which isnt true I guess if u have a real bad downswing). When months goes by they will slowly accept that you dont go broke. Thats the way it is for most parents (Im from Sweden).

I told my parents 3 years ago I made money at poker. They told me to stop as soon as I stopped being so lucky [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] and I said that I am prepared to sit down and do the math and show them that I cant lose all this money again, that I really am beating this game. We never did the math - and it wouldnt have mattered - and they still think I am lucky, but after 2 years seeing me never go broke and seeing a lot about poker in the papers and on tv they slowly accepts that I really make money that will never go away and of course they like it in a way because all parents want their children to have a good life.
