Default My typical day

My background: last worked in 2002 as a programmer. left to take care of new baby. Start playing poker April, 2004.

Here is my typical day:

Get up around 9am. Get kid ready for daycare. Back home 10:30am and start playing 5/10-10/20. Stop playing around 3:30. Have lunch. Doing housing work...
Pickup kid around 5:30. After 9:00pm play some more poker till 12:00. Sometimes no poker at night.


My husband started around the same time as I. We had $1000 as our starting bankroll. Now we have worked it up to $40,000. Whenever I have a losing streak I want to start looking for a job , but I never really tried very hard.

I sometimes feel guity spending all my time playing cards instead of doing some real work. But if I had a regular job I don't think I will have any time playing. Tough decision.
Also I only earned 20K in more than a year. Not much compared to my old job.Good thing is I only "work" 4 - 5 hours a day.

Am I wasting my life here?

Why the daycare if you're home all day?

I believe this is what the population refers to as "sarcasm".

I would assume people on this board won't consider poker as gambling?

[/ QUOTE ]Duh. It's putting money at risk with the potential to win more. I think the compulsion, knowledge, and EV of the situation are largely what differentiates "Gambling for a living" and "Having a gambling problem".

I don't think using tylenol shows a drug problem, but it's still a drug.

not that it's any of my business, but why would you take the kid to day care if the two of you are home all day? I would think having the kid at home is one of the perks.

my suggestion: take out one or two 3-6 month contracts, get yourself to some office every day, remind yourself how bad work sucks.
