How is playing poker for money while living with your mom a degen behavior?
EDIT: I'm a profitable player, last deposit over 3 months ago.
I can say the same exact thing. My last deposit was also 3 months ago. I've made $227.49 since then playing poker. I have made $7516.80 plus $783 from 30 hrs of OT one week plus $432 from our quarterly incentive check at my crappy $17.40/hr job in those same three months before taxes raped the ever living god out of me. Granted, I'm obviously a big bad tough guy at $1-$5 games only and couldn't be more small time if I tried, but I think I'd be in trouble if I took poker seriously and weren't on my own with a stable dependable income to go along with it.
Honestly, not trying to talk trash. Just saying, real life success is probably a much better goal than poker success. You can succeed at poker whether or not you live with your mom. You cannot necessarily succeed at life though by doing well at poker while still depending on your parents. I'm probably making alot of assumptions... I've just had alot of friends in my circle who never grew up, didn't think they had to go get real jobs, and thought they'd grind their way out of their mom's basements. The only one of them that is currently successful by any means is the one who went to school for Web Design and coincidentally he's the only one in my group besides myself who is a winning player. Only difference is he does way better than I do.
