i didnt really know that you were a pro either. i thought you might have been but wasnt sure. i was actually under the impression that poker was not your primary income. [/ QUOTE ] It wasn't my primary until last August. I never quite had the living expenses roll until then. Something was always coming up to deplete it. Lots of other crap had to be taken care of before that too. But even then I was putting in about 30 hours a week live + extra hours online. All in all, it's been a pretty f*cked ride the last 4-5 years. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] It's nice to finally be in the sun for awhile. Burnout still sucks! b

Although I've only been a member of 2+2 for a few days, this is by far the deepest post i've read. I could tell it came right from the heart. Good post and good luck finding fulfillment.

Re: Utterly embarrassing and honest confessions of a 1 year pro
Wow. Great post. To be completely honest, I've ignored a lot of your posts in the past because I thought you were an arrogant jerk. That's definitely changed now. I just gained a lot of respect for you.
As for golf, before you go to the course to play your first round, I recommend that you go to the driving range every day for a couple of weeks. You'll see an incredible improvement. If it's a decent range they'll have a pro who can give you lessons. A couple of hours would probably make a huge difference too. Also, find a course with a practice putting green (any decent course should have one) and spend a few hours there. That'll make playing a round of golf a lot more enjoyable for two reasons. First, it's more fun when you play better. Second, the guys your playing with like you more. No one will get mad at you for being bad, but they might if you're so bad that you hold the group up every hole.

Re: Utterly embarrassing and honest confessions of a 1 year pro
Welcome to my life.
Going pro wasn't so great. I'd like to do other things, because then my poker game will really grow. Keep at it. Never give up. Follow your dreams. Aphorisms.

Re: Utterly embarrassing and honest confessions of a 1 year pro
Have you considered taking a class or two at a local college, jr. college, or such. Maybe a once a week night class or something.
You can pick something that interests you, get out of the apt., meet people, learn something new, and feel good about it. Oh yeah, and play golf! Don't worry what you shoot, everyone starts at the bottom. Just play fast, don't scream obscenities, and don't throw clubs, and you'll never be unwelcome. Best of luck.
