Re: Anyone work fulltime and play 30 hrs or more a week?
The solution, of course, is to find a full-time job where you have time to play poker at work. A friend of mine from college works a helpdesk with that sort of situation. He works the overnight shift, calls are usually light, so he can play for a good chunk of his shift.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I work in IT so I'm in front of a computer all day 9 to 5. But I don't mind spending another 5 hours (with breaks) after work to play poker. In fact, I enjoy it. It's been a year since I got into this routine and I don't see myself getting tired of it anytime soon, probably never. It beats watching TV or going out to the bar. One downside is that I don't get enough exercise and that is something I'm trying to fix. I love poker after a full day's work. EDIT: I am married and my wife is supportive of what I do, which makes it that much easier. However, with our first child on the way, I have no idea how drastically that's going to change the routine. [/ QUOTE ] Congrats... get some sleep now while you can. [/ QUOTE ] I sleep at work... anyway seriously, since I started doing this, I did give up a lot of the other things I used to do, like golf, going out, reading... and sleep is probably another one. I get about 6 to 7 hrs a night on weekdays and catch up on weekends. Lately, I've been thinking about another line of work that will give me more time for poker with some leisure time. I have no idea what tho... [/ QUOTE ] HAhaha you are about to go from 6-7 hours a night to about 6-7 hours a week! It's worth it though you can forget about leisure time for a few years.

Re: Anyone work fulltime and play 30 hrs or more a week?
Finding balance is the key - not only with poker, but many other aspects of life. While some of us can grind out a living, it really is a grind.
If you can make extra fun money while keeping your bankroll intact and having a rewarding life, then you are a winner. You don't want to wake up and be an overweight, lonely, sunken eye 40 yo zombie.

Ten fingers and ten toes and that he sleeps. Well... one out of two aint bad.
