I like this thread. I thought I was the only one with not-wanting-them-to-know problems. Im happy to know there others like me.
Im also annoyed when ppl ask how much did I earn after an online session. I dont know about others but I dont really look at the cashier all the time to see how well Im doing.
So I dont really have an answer to give and I randomly say "about 200 or so..."
Also:

Me: ......
I recently told my mother that I play poker semi-professionally and what stakes I play in.
