I play more poker than most, not as much as some, but it's all online. I'd say for every hour of play, I put in an hour of reading books, posts, working PT, etc. So, putting in 30hrs/wk would actually take 60hrs/wk. This makes playing semi-pro or pro a time-consuming ordeal.

I figure playing poker in a casino may be another option, I'd have a chance to meet more people. Ever meet new friends or girls in a casino that you've had a chance to get to know outside of poker? This includes girls playing poker, waitresses, whoever.

Why don't more girls play poker? Do they also have hobbies that consume their lives?
