variance: unsurprisingly im failing all my classes

Pretty standard stuff. Once I started playing beyond 2/4nl (which you are), I had to devote a lot of my time to studying poker. Then my grades began slipping as well.

Last month I played like 80k hands of 2/4nl, and was able to do fairly well on my exams. When I was playing higher, I would waste a lot of time reading 2p2, and consumed much more time thinking and studying about poker.

It is a huge accomplishment IMO if you are able to see 50k+ hands a month of 3/6nl+ (semi decent winrate) and maintain a B or higher average in college (assuming a nonbullshit major). Anhnulds post kind of depressed me when he said, choosing the in between path of college and poker is stupid. Yet, it does have a lot of truth to it. If you are failing your classes and your GPA is looking ugly just drop out.

Actually, my most recent 24 hour session was drugless. Well, drugs and alcohol were the cause of the bet/challenge, by about 3 hours in I had sobered up already though.

I think I'd have a hard time dragging myself to class if I knew I could sit and win $5k while watching porn instead.
