Default How obsessed are you?

So serious, Ive decided im obsessed with poker. Ever since I was 12 tabling in my room and my friend walks in, stares at my screen while i sitout of every single one and goes. "Your obsessed", and walks out the room, im like wtf.

My routine consists of going to work, coming home, work out at the gym and play 2-3 hours poker. I aim to play 35k hands a month, even though I cant play durin the day.

I carry bluff magazines + WPT in my bag to read up on random articles that might improve my game.

Im constantly looking and thinking of ways to improve my game, and looking for reasons as to why I lost a hand the night before, or had a swing and lost 4 or 5 buyins.

For my 21st I want to travel over to Ireland to play in this big europe tournament.

My girlfriend now asks me how im doing on poker every time i see her, she asks how many buyins im up and she even understands implied odds, and has gone as far as buyins a tournament poker book and using the word donkaments.

I spend all day browsing these forums when im bored at work and I consider poker as a second income, i constantly read up about how Pros are doing, and lol when they get owned.

I have aims to have a large bankroll by the end of this working year so I can not have a job and live off poker for a year.

Am I obsessed, or does everyone else here... have similar lifestyles?

So serious, Ive decided i have a healthy hobby that sharpens my creative thinking and logical reasoning skills, provides extra income and exciting vacation opportunities, and gives my girlfriend and I something to talk about. I'm grateful this is a hobby free for all Americans to enjoy.

Yep something like that.
