Sitting Out
So I just spent a considerable amount of my hard-earned money on a new tournament & cash set and I'm super excited. I shared the news with my friends and instead of also being excited because we all enjoy playing poker together, they will not stop criticizing my purchase and telling me how stupid I am for spending so much. (I spent about 1400 CAD for DDLM semi customs, tourney set and cash set each good for 20 players). I'm still standing by my purchase because a) it's my money and b) I thought about this a lot and truly believe it was something I wanted, and c) I can afford it! So I really don't see the problem and I'm just super frustrated that all my friends have been assholes about this.
I will say that they do have one good point, I don't know 20 people that will play poker with me regularly, but I figured that I'm young (18) and I will meet people in school, life, etc, and make connections in the world of home games as I go, (after COVID, of course). People say that the DDLM's are a great durable set that will last many many years. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I see many great years of poker ahead of me.
So how should I proceed here? Just ignore the hate and move on?
