Hey Tony, nice to meet you. I think you'll fit in here :) It's too bad that none of your friends or family support you, but some people don't understand that poker is more than gambling. Don't get me wrong, gambling is fun, and gambling while playing poker can be fun, but when it comes down to it, I do it because I like winning, especially when it involves winning money. And that's not just gambling.
I'm jdmounge on Full Tilt. A small group of us play in weekly tournaments on Mondays on that site. I'll send you an invite for the league. We do an $11 tourney at 7pm PST and a $22 tourney at 9pm PST. Stop by and observe and say "hi" if you don't want to play those stakes. We'll see you around.
