I am doing a lot better than I was although there are some days when I have to literally pull myself away from the computer to the gym or to class. I generally do not play as much, and I keep realistic expectations in poker. I see it for what it is, a game.

I had unrealistic expectations for myself because 1 of my friends plays pro and the other semi pro. Getting quick, easy money is prob what has attracted me the most, but I realize that shooting for poker as a profession in not a good idea. I also do not let it upset me as much if I lose. I would sometimes feel apathetic or depressed after a big loss. It is rough. I still play a fair amount now but I feel like I have more CONTROL. Which is the biggest game. You cant let the game CONTROL you.
