i have definately heard "well you know your lucks gonna run out sometime!" quite a few times

I also love when you're in the middle of a tournament session and someone asks "are you winning?" and you say something like "it doesn't really work that way i won't know until later" then they usually say something like " how do you not know if you're winning?"

My most delicate moment came when my grandmother told me about the gambling problem campaign we have going on here close to home whose motto is "Bet on you". When she said I should "bet on me" instead of playing poker my heart just sank. There was no way I was going to get into an argument with my fragile and good-hearted grandmother so I just told her life was good and I would remember what she said. Ironically, she taught me how to play cards when I was little. :)

omfg this. someone walks in and says this to me and makes me want to punch them. seems like no matter how many times i explain it, they continue to ask every time im playing.

yeah the obv "so did you win"? after I've been playing for an hour. It really tilts the shit out of me. It tilts me the most when a noob starts watching me over my shoulder and I get coolered 5 times in 3 mins or they start telling me how to play. "you got an ace go all in!"

Doubt I'm gonna start folding to preflop re-raises at 15/30. Just giving them an invitation to run you over when the blinds go up and you need to steal to survive. Maybe you are a cash game player and don't understand the dynamics involved in SNG metagame.

LOL. My thoughts exactly. I thought for sure GONZO was leveled like Haiti, but maybe we're all being leveled now.

"SO YOU GET PAID A WAGE FROM THE POKER SITE?"
"no, over the year i made $xx thousand over a certain amount of hours and it figures out to be xx $/hr"
"... SO DO YOU EVER LOSE MONEY?"

Relatively new to forums, pretty sure I've gotten the general gist of what "leveled" means and I assume this is a prime example. Nice post count tho.

Girlfriend's random family member: So, what do you do for a living?
Me: (Pause, hear we go again) I play poker
Girlfriend's random family member: (Puzzled look on their face) You what?
Me: I play poker
Girlfriend's random family member: What? You mean, like at a casino?
Me: Yes, mostly at a casino. I occassionally play online as well.
Girlfriend's random family member: Do you actually make money doing that?
Me: Ahhh, well, I don't do anything else
Girlfriend's random family member: But, can you actually make money doing that?
Me: Well, I don't do anything else
Girlfriend's random family member: (Enter their spouse) Hey (so and so), this guy
is a professional poker player
Girlfriend's random family member's spouse: He's a what?
Girlfriend's random family member: He's a professional poker player
Girlfriend's random family member's spouse: On really? Do you actually make money
doing that?
