Dealing with Negative Stereotypes associated with being a professional poker player

[Fildy]

I almost think you can still have a fuck em attitude. I mean, you have been playing poker for a living without any other income for (insert months/years here) and you haven't had a problem supporting yourself yet. On top of that, and I'm sure that this is true with most of the members here, if for ANY reason poker ever heads south, and you need a new career, you have a skill set that will allow you to get a good job and still keep the lifestyle you have, if they don't understand or support that, then indeed fuck 'em.

If you go through life seeking or waiting on the support of people in everything you do, you are going to spend a lot of time waiting, or even changing. You are who you are, you do what you do, fuck what others think, seriously.
