I think you all need to spend a small fraction of your bankroll on a sick watch (or somethin' shiny) and to keep your wardrobe updated with some fresh gear.. If people see you lookin' clean and know you don't work, they will know what the [censored] is up..

If they ask a question about your income, you say "look at me", kinda throw your head back and walk away with an A.C Slater type of strut..

Okay?
Result:

Mom on phone w/ Police Officer: Hello, I think my son is dealing drugs. What should I do?
LOL @ the thought of doing this to a family member..

Amazing, you are a tax lawyer? If I give you my tax returns, can you do them for me?

Amazing, you are a doctor? I have been getting bluish-green patches on my taint whenever I have sex with dead people...can you help me with that?

People always want to learn how to do it too or the cliche... "Hey man, what if I give you $300 of my money for you to double it, can you do that?"
Good God I can't tell you how many times I hear that phrase and every time I do I die a little inside.
whats the best response to this? everyone i know says this including family and friends
Yes, I can double your $300 and I'll guarnatee it. My fee is $700 BTW.

As for being called a poker addict, I just remind them this addiction is making me money, as opposed to my old addiction: heroin.
Usually followed by awkward silence, but occasinly someone realises I'm joking and actually laughs.
i'm gonna use this one lol

Today I got "I guess it wouldnt make sense for me to play against you, so I will tell you my strategy. I always play two-seven because if you flop two pair or better nobody will expect it"

I said "uhhh yeah I guess that works sometimes"

A lot of doctors I know are constantly hounded by people for medical advice or try to discuss their health problems or whatever. I think it would be a horrible job to have to talk about with clueless idiots.

Try being a poker playing computer guy. I can't have any conversations about what I do for 14 hours a day without wanting to kill myself. I don't have much to say.

I have dinner at in-laws house every couple of months or so. Every single time, my father-in-law and I have the following conversation:

Father-in-law: "You still playing poker?"

Me: "Yep."

Father-in-law: "People are really getting in trouble with credit cards and online gambling."

Me: "Yeah, some people have."

Father-in-law: "I watch poker on t.v. It really all comes down to luck you know."

Me: "So, what's for dinner?"

Yep that is me. Something my wife's boss recently asked was essentially this:
Them: "Which parts from these old, broken computers should we combine to form one working computer that would be the sole location for tons of important files."

Me: "..."

My Mom had flashbacks to my father blowing thousands shooting craps back in the day.

Was really hard to get her to stop carping on it.

Me: "Yeah, I know. That's what allows me to support your daughter's insane spending habits."
