I understand you concern about pleasing your loved ones. However, when you are completely honest with them and stop worrying about what they and their friends/neighbors think, I believe you will be much happier. That was my experience, at least.

How can I possibly be happy with myself if everyone I love is not and I can change it easily?

It's most likely not going to be as easy as you're making it out to be. You want to do a certain thing with your life and everyone else wants you to do something else and is embarassed to tell others about what you enjoy doing. Doing something you aren't passionate about for many hours a week for many weeks will begin to wear on you, most likely. Also, at some point it may become frustrating to see your parents for the nth time displaying disappointment in your poker play and/or lying about it to others.

It all boils down to being constrained from living life the way you want to live it.
