Some time ago when I won a small MTT, I had like 300$ in my poker account. So I was kinda proud and I told my dad I have 300$ in my account. and so every weekend from then when he visited me (my parents are divorced) he keeps telling me stories how my uncles friend lost everything he had playing roulette and the same is going to happen to me.
He refuses to believe people can actually make money playing poker and he thinks that ''house always wins not the players, they are just exchanging money to each other''
Then one time when we get in a little argue about this I showed him some guy graph where he had won 10k$ in a month. He stares at the graph for a while and then says ''Yea I know these kind of people. They go around sited advertising poker and making people believe they can make money playing poker''
%&#$^#$&#$
Yea you're right, whatever.

My friend who is bad @ poker:
Him: "Look, I'm a poker player too. Luck is a big part of the game, like at least 50%."
Me: (Something along the lines of) "...No"
Him: "Sometimes you don't get the cards you need Ksight3"
Didn't bother with it...I hate getting arguments about these things.
I don't see a reason to disprove people that think dis way o.O
lol 50+%...If the game is more than 50% luck how could ne1 make a consistent living at it...lol -_-

I think poker is also 50% luck. This means in the long run you will win as much as you loose since its 50% luck. So in the long run this gives $0.
The other 50% is skill so if your good at it you will make more then $0
and if you suck less

I friend that used to play poker with some others in college but they all played "play money" told me poker was very easy because he would just put his "money" when he had the best hand and everyone just payed him off.
and he also says that I will lose all my money depositing into this sites because I won't be able to get my money back if I ever still have anything in my account.
So sad, I can't talk to anyone about poker this is very sad, nobody understand or tries to understand, just the ones that really want to learn about it and have their minds open that poker is not a "go broke because it's luck; you will become a gamble and lose all your money playing; this sites are just trying to get your money because you are a fool" only this type of persons I can talk but there are very rare persons like this
