When a girl, a friend, or my brother etc. asks me in a text or on the phone at some point during the day or night when im playing mtts, "Are you winning?" or "How are you doing?"
even when ive repeatedly told these ppl, i play tourneys, so its an impossible question to answer, and its quasi rude to ask ppl stuff about financial situations etc. especially if a person doesnt know u very well.
but, i usually say something along the lines of "i dont know", "not sure yet" etc. etc. and some of these ppl get all mad, like, "why cant u ever just give me a straight answer!!??" or "What do u mean u dont know?" "u either are winning or u arent".
and if u do say i play tourneys/usually not cash games, or i wont know how i do til alot later in the day cuz u dont make any real money til the final table etc.. That stuff always just leads to more bs questions and shit i have to try to explain taht just makes me even more pissed, especially if its someone taht ive either explained it to multiple times or always asks the same shit, and i tell them that its an impossible question to answer and to stop asking.
obv, as i write this, the girl that asked if i was winning in a text that made me write this thread, just texted me back with a bitchy text cuz i didnt respond to her text, basically saying, "well, i guess thats a no, sorry, just trying to have a convo, whatever, blah blah blah"
i edited title cuz it seems like ppl think im losing sleep over this or im gonna disown family and friends, and i was just posting something that annoys me occasionally that i figured other tourney players could relate to, i dont get mad at the ppl personally lol, just tilts me

Well if thats the case why wouldn't he just turn off his phone during his sessions since it tilts him so hard?

some people live with roommates. some people have girlfriends who occasionally like to come to their place of residence regardless of whether you are playing poker or not. It'd be pretty cool if by turning my phone off people would also stop talking to me in person though.

obv just tell everyone you win shits tons and are rich and most of your money is online. and when they ask you why you drive a geo and have shitty thrift store couches you can tell them you don't like to let the money get to your head ... obv

Yeah i don't mind if a poker buddy asks but when someone who doesn't know the game it is very annoying.

I hate it when people do this too. I also hate that when I shrug my shoulders and say "I don't know," they always draw their own conclusions and take my response to mean that I'm losing.

You sound like a fun person to be around. You been winning today???
lol, nice conclusion to draw based on one post about something that annoys me.
am i going to get new friends or family cuz i get asked an annoying question a few times a week? no
am i going to quit poker because i have a bad day or get on tilt? no
does getting asked this dumb question that many poker players relate to or having to elaborate on why its unanswerable annoy me? yes
am i going to lose sleep over it or think about it for more than a minute after someone asks me etc.? no

My room mates do this shit all the time, and I totally agree. They just know nothing about tournament poker, but it's hard for me not to get mad at them whenever I'm grinding out a Sunday and they walk in every 5 min. and ask, "How you doing?"

just pull the reverse jinx out and say you are losing your ass. Then she will not know what to say and shut up. If she still doesn't get it, dick smack her. If she still doesn't get it after that, marry her cuz she's a keeper

I don't think you have any friends who would want to text you and if happened to be a girl, she is a jpeg texting you.
