how depressing... can anyone help?

Wow, I didn't even notice your terrible grammar before, but now that you mention it...geez...that's pathetic.As to what your saying about the original post, YOU DON"T EVEN REALIZE WHAT HE IS SAYING.He doesn't need advice as to whether he should continue playing, he needs advice on how to confront his parents about the situation.

One needs no advice to prove to one that they are suited for a task -other then big returns. If that is not enough....Who cares you are making money

I KNOW THAT HE IS NOT ASKING ABOUT TURNING PRO - atleats overtly- 'i don't plan on becoming a professional poker player (though where life takes me no one knows)"What I am saying is THIS!!!! If things are going so well in any given task. One nedds not explain it to people. Some how I think his parents opinion would change when he is living well without help from them And if he was living well without help from them he would not need his parents "okay" and he would not need to seek it from cyber strangers

You're nuts. He was asking what the thought was a knowledgeable base of people how to best explain his poker-jones to his parents. He doesn't need their stamp of approval, but everyone feels better when his parents support his endeavorsIce

So the apporoval of your parents makes no difference if you don't need their money?Douche!

i'm curious to know how you came up with this generalization. care to explain?

Some how I think his parents opinion would change when he is living well without help from them

again, i wonder how you came up with this vague generalization. if you went into the drug business and made a million a year, your parents' opinions about the morality of selling drugs would change? i know mine wouldn't.

And if he was living well without help from them he would not need his parents "okay"

again, a wrong assumption. you don't really know the details, so i'm not sure how you can come up with this third generalization. i don't directly pay my own tuition; my parents do. if i want to help out by channeling some of my poker winnings to tuition, they'd have to know about it, which means they'd need to be "okay" with it.

and he would not need to seek it from cyber strangers

please point out where in my post i said i was seeking the acceptance of the people on this forum for my poker playing.interesting. i know you didn't read my post, so i'm not sure why i'm wasting my time typing this post. learn to read before you get into a fight next time.aseem

Don't put any Poker winnings toward your tuition and they won't know about it... problem solved. Or, grind enough so that you can pay your own way and be a MAN and not rely on your parents or cyber strangers.

Playing Poker is not the Drug Biz. First, you are not going to go to jail if you play (providing you play in legal rooms). Second, if you feel that Poker is as shady as the Drug Biz -or your Parents do and you feel that you have to live up to Mom's" standards...don't play. Keep Mom happy.

What I mean by this is if things are working for you playing Poker, where you don't need Mom's special kisses to get by... You will be earning enough to say "sorry you have a problem with it, but I don't care".

wow, you really are a doucheonly you could turn a kid trying to help his folks pay his way into fucking MIT into that.

gcirons-I like to consider myself a mature person so I have avoided using certain terms that have become popular on this board because I found them childish. But everytime I read one of your replies a little voice in my head screams "DOUCHEBAG". So here goes .... You are a douchebag. That felt good :-) .

Just because his parents are helping with college doesnt make him less of a man, and sure as hell doesnt make you one, we can obviously see you're not

Keep Mom happy.You made the broad generalization, not him. His parents weren't raised in the states, they are very strict, and he is looking for general advice, why post if you have nothing more than idiocy to offer?

You will be earning enough to say "sorry you have a problem with it, but I don't care" Some people like to have a good relationship with their parents.... saying "sorry you have a problem but i dont care" isnt a good way to do this. Pardon my tounge, but you are a fucking idiot, with nothing constructive to add, why even bother to post here? For some people, making alot of money isnt a good enough reason to basically tell your parents to fuck off.

Okay!Here it is. I can't believe how many of you keep calling me DC, but keep posting. It just gets easier and easier.You have been Had.I have been just posting contrary for the sport, but you all keep going for it.Jesus Christ, think about it! I have alreasy given my reasons for sitting here on a Saturday posting crap. But the rest of you keep posting like we are debating future African policy towards A.I.D.S. I can't fathom how so many Poker Pros have so much time on a Saturday night when they could be playing in the "Big Game" or spending their money on some hot chick in a club.I know in the future when advice is posted not to listen to any of you. If you were any good you would be responding to this on Sunday morning. Not Saturday night... Because you would be living the life not pretending to live it.

Yeah, ok, we've been had. You're still a doucheclown. I haven't claimed to be some big pro, and if I read correctly, not a one of us did.Which is alright by me. Because it still does not change the fact, that you, my "friend," are a D-O-U-C-H-E-C-L-O-W-N.That gives me an idea. We should start sending out T-Shirts with matching thongs to every dillweed that pulls gay stunts like this that says Doucheclown on em. Who's with me?

. He makes fun of me now when i'm playing "sorry I didnt know you are at work, when your boss gives you a break I need to ask you something about my computer" But at least he understands now, and actually starting to support my playing.Good luck, I understand where you are coming from.thats funny.. my friends ask me if i can request off to go out on the lake or go out at night.. aseem.. "the best advice you receive comes from within" -slugonce your parents see the money you're making iam sure they'll come around.. someone suggested showing spread sheets/poker tracker.. that true win rate is essential.. my parents used to chastize me about not having a job.. but when i showed them my true win rate, they came around.. what really turned my parents attitude into + EV was when i came home for xmas and won a few SNGs while my dad watched.. ever since then they've given me their support.. gl aseem

Your probably not going to get anywhere with your folks until you finish your undergrad, given your parent's (esp. your dad) educational background. They obviously place a high priority on education, and anything that takes away from it, especially an endeavor that they frown upon probably isn't going to score you any points. Unless you enjoy beating your head against a wall, I would let it simmer until then. Best of luck in the future.
