Default The \"I\'ve lost my mind\"... challenge?

I hate life. I hate college. I've lost my mind from stress. I want to run away and see the world.

There is only one problem.

I don't have enough money.

Currently I have roughly 10k, give or take a few thousand. Total poker profits = 15k. I've spent 5k on various things. I think 50k should be enough for me to buy a decent car and drive away to wherever I want for a year. So here's the goal: play as much poker and whore as many casinos as I can until I have 50k. My time limit? Until I lose my mind from the stress in my life. I'm thinking I'm going to be 4-table 15/30 for the majority of it and maybe jumping up into some high NL games to give it a shot once or twice. I estimate it will take me 1-2 weeks to reach this goal.

I will not sleep until I'm about to pass out and only a minimal amount. I will eat while I play. I will continue to go to a few classes a week and do my homework for them. But every spare minute of my free time will be dedicated to reaching this goal.

Edit: Oh I almost forgot. Here's the kicker. The college has shut down the internet in my room because I was sharing music ([censored] riaa) so I'm currently sitting in the hallway of my dorm, leeching internet from a cable coming from another room. I think everyone around here thinks I'm crazy as I've been sitting in the middle of the hall playing poker for the last 4 hours starting at midnight.

playing under a lot of stress, while not sleeping or taking breaks, is a good idea! good luck.

Yeah. I mean, why don't you just blow off your classes completely and spend the rest of the semester playing poker? Seriously. If you're going to drop out when you hit 50k anyway... Or is college a backup if this 50k thing doesn't work out?

If you have paid room and board already, I'd suggest giving yourself some more time to hit your goal.

Lol!!

You have to spend some dollars on alcohol too!!! That is the thing that will make you get rid of your stress! No sleep, no break and spirits is the combination for you to manage this poker challenge!

Have fun!

You're probably gonna want to score around 70k. Those taxes are a bitch.

People like this are good to know about when you look at yourself in the mirror each morning.

I think you mean copyright infringement. Sharing music is NOT stealing.
