Re: Thoughts about poker and success (mainly for college students)
im in a similar boat. back in january when i had some exams at university i was close to packing in the degree to play poker.
im now so relieved i didnt. im tempted to try to not play for the first month when im back just so i can try and actually go to lectures and keep on top of my work (as well as a lot of chilling out and boozing).
im viewing it now as a hobby for when i graduated. probably a couple of nights a week ill go down the casino/poker club and play and enjoy it.
the money i could make out of online would be a decent amount, not as much as many who play the really high stakes. although going into business will be boring for a lot of the time, i'll appreciate actually putting my brain into something. online poker im finding incredibly monotonous - you know how to play almost all situations, it just gets dull, but the money is hard to resist.
ill leave it at that before i ramble anymore, but im just so relieved im getting a degree which is going to leave me with at least some options rather than the online poker.
actually, one extra id like to add, recently ive been wondering what i'd do after university, and i had been thinking about taking a year out to travel to 3/4 cities in different continents with the money ill hopefully make over the next couple of years and while i was playing during the year. just a thought. but one ive now decided not to do, and i cant pinpoint why.
