Default 47 days as a trainee accountant vs 6 hours at online poker....

made 47 working days worth of wages as a trainee accountant today. woot. most ive ever won in a day. woot.

beat: was on course for 5 figure day till it started going pear shaped then i closed down all my tables before monkey tilting off winnings.

variance: should carry on playing (only 10.20pm here) but i know ill lose. may watch movie or match of the day + beer instead.

variance2: next week is 2nd week of my job. i want to quit now and go pro. probs will then go busto though.

I've said it before and i'll say it again...the nuts is job+parttime poker.

From this post and reading your msnl stuff it just sounds like you are used to bumming around post-university so it's a rude wake-up call, and you are in the wrong career. There are plenty of challenging and interesting jobs out there that don't require 100 hours a week and allow for a life and poker on the side.

congrats on a nice win

Flip that and I agree...part time job with part time poker is my fav. I'm really enjoying doing real estate for 15 hours a week...random community activies for 3-5 hours a week (city council meetings etc.)

Then spending 30-40 hours a week playing poker [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
