Im kinda new to this forum, but i need ur help plzzzzzzzzz
 

this post is for all the serious poker players who have to return to college this semester. Im not sure if people on the forum know me, I grinded 2/4-3/6 and won a decent amount (4.5-5.0) pt BB. I dont have many hands at 5/10 and above, so far my stats indicate im down to break even. I also won the 20 rebuy, the sunday million, and go0t second in a 109. Anyway, i deceided that i wanted to go back to school and im taking 16 credits. So my question is to people like stinger (or anyoone else who has made enough to turn pro, but went back to school) or anyone who has insight is how do you do it? It hit me this morning when i was walking to class how busy i had been moving into my new place in dinkytown with my friends in dinkytown, minneapolis (holla). Between class, homeworjk, the gym, and trying to keep an active social life ive had no time to do anything else. In my house we dont have internet so i figure this is an accurate picture of what my life would be like without poker. This post is kind of a rant but the questions i need answered are: If your playin poker seriously and taking classes, how do you manage your time to do this? Second qurestion is: do you think its wise to maybe take a break from poker for a semester? This isnt what i really want to do but something has to give and i want to get good grades as well, i like to learn. Also ive seen SO MANY EXCELLENT no limit cash and tourney players take a break or get lazy with there games only to get opassed up by young kids like me who are willing to work hard and improve themselves. So i fear that if i take a break this might be a consequence. What should i do?

Well im not sure who knows it and its really relevant to the topic imo, im really proud that im an all around player, but thats not thye point of this thread so if your not familiar with tournaments at all pretend i won 166 buyins at 5/10 this year instead.

just dont let poker take over is the real key. I'd still play, but make sure you put life and school first. Maybe set aside a couple hours a day and limit your poker/2+2 to that. Play less tournaments imo since it really sucks to be in the middle of one and have someone call you up and ask you to do something fun.
