If your playin poker seriously and taking classes, how do you manage your time to do this?

I find it unlikely that you could be a successful full-time student and play poker "seriously." One or the other would have to suffer a bit for you to be as successful as possible at the other.

You might be able to succeed in school if you treat poker like a part-time job and only play during the hours that you would otherwise be working. But be careful not to keep playing past your stop time (i.e. when you're stuck, or deep in a tournament, or in a good game, etc.). You'd need a lot of self-discipline not to let poker creep into your study, class, and socializing time. And don't underestimate the importance of socializing in college. It's an important part of the process.

Second qurestion is: do you think its wise to maybe take a break from poker for a semester?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. But not necessary if you can limit your time to a few hours a day like a part-time job.

This is probably the wrong forum, too. The Psych forum is usually where stuff like this ends up.

When I'm in school I just play how much ever I feel like it. Usually that's <10hrs/week. Just have fun, like ski said don't let poker take over. Just do what you want. this post is extremely lame.

[G_Dollaz]

Man, honestly I don't know why all you guys that can beat mid stakes are still in school. I finished school and am currently not using my degree for jack [censored]. I don't think alot of you realize how good we have it. You can always go back and get your degree if u want, but there may come a day when we can't play online poker and you will have sacrificed hundreds of thousands of dollars for some stupid sheet of paper that you could have gone back to get anyways.

I know 99.99% of this forum disagrees w/ me, but I think right now the money is more important than the degree. I finished up school while party poker was still around, and I'd give anything to go back and play another million hands on party instead of going to [censored] class. Don't get me wrong, the college atmosphere is a TON of fun, but you can still live a college lifestyle w/ all your friends, go to all the parties, but isntead of going to class, put in the hours getting hands in, you can make in 2 years what most of your friends will make their first decade out of school.....

As I said, I know most disagree, but that's just my 2 cents

I agree with this to some extent, but I do think it's important, that if you do do poker instead of school, that you play a lot and build up a ton in savings rather than try to just make like 2-300k a year.

[JEFF or DAD]

[w33ktight]

This is a dumb thread. You won the Sunday mill OP, you can do whatever you want.
