If you guys think poker's tough, try telling people you're a competitive Scrabble player. Tournament Scrabble is about 50 times as different from living room Scrabble as serious poker is from a penny ante home game.
"Oh, I could never be good at Scrabble--I'm such a bad speller."
"That's okay. Many of the top players are Thais who don't even speak English."
"WTF?!"
OMG yes people finding out you play competitive scrabble is the worst thing ever... 10x worse than poker...

Or my favourite thing is to relate the cost of everything to how many big blinds it is for me "Pfft just buy it its only 5 big blinds"
