Dealing with Negative Stereotypes associated with being a professional poker player

[Invigilator]

As a teacher, I know there are always people who crap all over a certain profession. Pro-Poker players are bound to get this more than pretty much any other legitimate job. (read that carefully, I am NOT saying it isn't a legitimate job).

The problem is, that is not likely to ever change. Surrounding yourself with those who are supportive of your life is always a good idea. Others, kick to the curb. When you invariably are put off by people who look at you side-ways, return to the good people.
