Honestly dude, I don't think you could handle the swings those kids go through. Imagine how devastating it is when you practice 9 hours a day and find out everybody wins.

I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for you as you still earn more than I do.

Peace.

Anyone ever have this conversation with friends / family?

"[censored], man, this has been a terrible month."
"You ok dude? You're not going to go broke, are you?"
"No, but I'm only up eight thousand dollars. I don't know if I can handle the stress."

My point exactly. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] And why I don't like talking about poker with non-players: many seem to think you are on the brink of bankruptcy whenever you say you are having a hard time at the tables.

(The swings are still emotionally brutal though, and I didn't mean to be harsh in my original comment.)

If I had a dollar for every time my father asked me, "Are you doing ok?" "You don't need money, do you?" "You'd tell me if you did, right?"

Christ, Dad, I'm making more than you are. It is just damned stressful.
