romoking 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hey Daniel, (or anyone else with good advice...)I've been checking out the forum here for quite some time. Always entertaining.I've never really had anything to say until today, so I finally signed up to post this.For the past 8 years I've been in the Real Estate and Mortgage business. I've alwaysdone well up until about six months ago when the mortgage market took a turn for theworse. I ended up loosing my business, as did a lot of mortgage brokers then. I've always had confidence in my poker game, so I decided to start playing full time.The one thing I've had the most trouble with is not strategy, bankroll management orbeing a winning player. Its been my parents not supporting me in my decision. I wasraised in a christian/romanian household. Needless to say, they're pretty stubborn.Was this something you dealt with in the beginning of your career? I'm sure with all ofyour success now your mother must be proud. Am I gonna need a million dollar paydayto get my parents approval? Don't get me wrong, I'm a grown ass man! But like any otherperson, who doesn't want their parents to be proud of them? Forgive me if I'm getting topersonal, I could just use some helpful advice...Thanks,romoking Link to post Share on other sites

FARGOpokerND 22 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If you have been doing your own thing for 8 years now, that means we can assume you live on your own?If so, it is up to your parents to accept whatever profession you choose.You should not let their nonacceptance hinder whatever profession you choose, be it poker, accounting, bartender...etc Link to post Share on other sites
