OT: I'm a Lifer

[Unarmed]

F*ck finance.
F*ck working 60 hour weeks.
F*ck big cities.
I'm not going back.

Just started a 3-week trip round New Zealand with a bus load of 20 year old chicks, all foreign, with a nice mix of Austrian, German, etc, little bit of everything. F*ck it, I'm living this life until its no longer possible. Poker is officially my career.

Unarmed - an internet cafe somewhere in Auckland, 10:30, Nov 24, 2005.

Awesome! I'm so jealous and can't wait to start my traveling as a pro poker player. We'll have to meet up sometime.

If you're ever in Estonia look me up. Estonian chicks are scorching hot and they LOVE foreigners. Come in the summer, there's nothing like it.

Of course poker is your career, why the f..k would you want to work 60 hour weeks in finance? GL.

Oh yeah, don't come to Estonia in november, november in Estonia sucks.

Sorry, but you're not actually a lifer until you ask this forum if you should go pro. Post should include your lifetime ROI at the 11s and why work/college sucks.

[Apathy]

Oh yeah, this is the encouragment I need to go back to school next year...

It won't be so sweet when you share the back of a pickup-truck with sheep. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

make enough money so that you can maintain some sort of home base somewhere in the world. doesn't matter much where. remember to think about getting visas long in advance.

happy thanksgiving to you.

[J-Lo]

god damn, i hate school, got 1 semster left, 16 hrs, i'l grind it out... but man will it suck... i'l save up 8347182751827304982734 dollars, and then really have fun.

I need to figure out what laptop is best to play 9 or 10 tables with the new partypoker beta thingy. This will do wonders for the traveling multitabler. Hijack- right now i have a ibm t41 w/ ~1400x1100. i think i'm gona go with ~2100x1400 prolly one of the behemoth dell's, take both laptops (just in case) and use internet cafes, is there any flaw in my planning? Or should i go the get internet in apartment/hostel route with a 2001fp+laptop?

Also, verizon offers hi-speed wireless dsl ($60/month w/ voisplan)... i wanted to know if there was nay wya to use that with a desktop. do they make pcmcia-->usb adapters?

[yabastid]

[sng-sam]

Good Luck. From a dude with a business,a wife, a mortgage. and 3 kids I say....Live the dream. I am jealous of your new found freedom. See the world enjoy yourself. If you are comfortable with the risks go for it. Degrees are for people who desire them period.

Please throw us old guys a bone and send pics of hot aussie chicks etc. so we can live vicariously through you.

Straight Flushes,

SAM

UnArmed just notified me that he won't be hangin' with SFB & Yugo in mid-December because he's staying in NZ longer with some hot chickadee....I guess he doesn't know fun when he sees it....I mean, c'mon, what's wrong with an overweight old man who goes to bed at 6:30PM and a "PCF" who wouldn't know pussy if he fell in it /images/graemlins/wink.gif
