Default Re: when money at the job just doesnt matter...

I feel the same way about my job...where overtime pays as though I'm hourly, even though I'm salaried...they pay at what my hourly rate would be times 1.5, which is nice...BUT...

I worked 32 hours of overtime in 5 days, and when I got my paycheck, it was only about $500 over my normal paycheck. Given that a session of 2/5NL this past week yielded $600 in about 2 hours, my desire to work overtime is pretty much nil.

That said, I still want to work in a normal job, because the life of a pro is not really all that good, even at the top levels...and I do better to think about poker as a hobby, rather than a job. For some reason, my game functions better when it is just something I do, rather than something I am.
