Re: How have you taken advantage of being a poker pro?
I was able to move from the US to Ireland with my wife without the worry about finances and 'getting a real job', although it did take me about 7 weeks to get a phone line so I was out of poker work for awhile. That was 2+ years ago. Because of the US legislation, I feel very lucky that I live in Ireland now.
Also, my wife and I had our first child and I am able to spend way more time with him than if I worked a 'real job'.

Re: How have you taken advantage of being a poker pro?
James, what is your playing schedule when you are skiing. Do you play around 2 or 3 hrs a night. Or do you Ski 4 days a week and try to play 2 days with one day for resting/relaxing.
I love snowboarding and live in Australia and my dream is to own a home on the New Zeland ski fields. Probably 12mths away at my current rate. Overall I just really wanted to know how you balance your skiing with earning. Great thread.

Re: How have you taken advantage of being a poker pro?
10 month bump for those who also included what they wanted to do in the future in their replies. Did you do what you planned? If not, what else? and also bumped for so the new EDF crowd can share their stories.
I completed all but one of mine (the one i was least interested in), which is interesting because i never set in stone any long term plans to complete them. I guess just having them mulling around in the back of my mind was enough to one day make sure i did them all.

Re: How have you taken advantage of being a poker pro?
moved to Melbourne, have way more money / investments now and spend a lot of time on Music which is my number one passion so that's good. Also exercising physically; way happier than i was 10 months ago... I have completely isolated myself from the world however, and most my time is spent playing music, watching tv, going to gym, and trying to avoid going back to the rollercoaster of drugs cigarettes and alcohol that is so easy to fall into when u have 0 commitments to anything. I'm doing pretty well though.
ATM I want to get good enough to play jazz piano to live audiences, and play in a rock band (preferably guitar). I feel like within the next year bigger things will start happening, I am certainly trying to make them happen.
