1. That is a pretty risky way to financially support the family. You could lose everything. Easy come............easier to go!
2. Stop worrying about what other people think --- it is a really bad way to make decisions and live your life. You would not care so much about what other people think of you if you knew of little they actually thought about you.
3. hope your rich, thats a risky move, (financially ) is it worth lossing everything you own? Your house, car ext. think of the pros and the cons, dont pay attention to what other people think
4. naw, poker isn't illegal, immoral or fattning in my book.
5. I would be more concerned about having a secure future, and what type of role model my husband is going to be for my kids. If he's that good, and you are sure that he can make a living to support you and your family, then you shouldn't care what other people think. Just try your best to give your children a "normal" childhood, which might be challenging with such an unconventional profession.
6. people are very judgmental, that is how it is in this world, what other think may not always be truth....this issues is between you and your husband, right?
7. if you two can keep the family together and also enjoy the time you have together (while living comfortably) what does it matter how he makes money as long as it is legal...... don't worry about it
8. financially, it's risky, but i wouldn't look down on you morally. it's not like you're taking your kids to slummy casinos or something. a good wife supports her husband and helps him make the right decisions for the family; she doesn't worry how others may judge her. you're an adult who can go wherever she pleases, no matter what other people think.
9. Simply put, yes. The answers given here reassure that; people say "oh, you could lose your house!" and don't understand that a professional poker player is never risking assets that are that near and dear to him. People will think you're crazy more because they don't understand than anything else. Plus, your husband will basically be making his money off the vices and addictions of others. So yes, you will be looked down upon, but really, who cares?
