Earning a living playing poker 1 year later.

Some of what you say might be true for some folks...but actually I just think that poker takes up so much time for some guys it becomes too much of an obsession.
Throw in some losses in there and they can't handle the stress.

A little bit of stress and not paying enough attention to your s.o. will put quite the strain on a relationship.

I've read posts on here about 'my girl says I'm not spending enough time with her and that all I do is play poker'.
The number of people that have this kind of problem is likely WAY too high.


thankfully it's not a problem for me as I actually prefer time spent with my GF to playing poker.
I'm never blowing her off to play in a tournament or anything like that. But it does seem that some guys are frequently trying to find ways to get out of having to spend time or pay attention to their s.o. because there is some poker-related something or other that they want to do.



Aside from that little nit on that reply I think you definitely found a working plan and it was a very nice post.
Serves a nice reminder that I really should get all my records and everything else more organized.

Congratulations on your 1st year and good luck in your 2nd.


Glad to see you come back around here as well and that you hadn't completely dropped off the face of the earth. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
