why is it rarely mentioned that you can do both?

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah, seriously. I never went to college or anyting like that but how much of your time does it honestly take up?

[/ QUOTE ]

it doesn't have to take up much if you don't want it to, but you probably won't get that much out of it if you don't put in the time. Going to school while playing poker is not advisable. You will probably do mediocre in both, or bad in one and ok in another, in my personal experience. I agree with Brian on this one.

I could also do this, and did play poker a lot while maintaining pretty good grades at the same time. Getting good grades in university in some programs (I was in Business) isn't hard. Especially if you are in some easy, arts, social science, history type thing, then lol. You don't have to learn much fqse classes. I learned basically nothing while in university because I didn't care about it and just did what I needed to do to get the marks. My point is that you should be putting a lot of concentration into school if you are spending that much on tuition. You don't need to, but it's a waste of money if you don't. If you're anything like most poker players, you won't. If you're perfectly balanced and able to do it flawlessly, then congratulations, but most people aren't. Getting a 3.0 isn't necessarily 'doing well' imo.
