Life Balance

Dear all,

probably this question was answered in some forums somewhere...

I work about 9/10 hours a day monday to frida 9am to 6pm, and I love palying poker and I make some extra money.

Fact is I can only play at the same time when my gf is off as she works monday to friday same time

This is one of the reasons I started to play HU in the 1st place, so I don't have to be stuck on the computer for hours if I make deep in a tourney.

Does any of  you have a similar problem? any suggestion?

 Yes mate, my job is way

 Yes mate, my job is way too demanding but my Mrs is cool and understands.  At its worst im working 7 days a week the only plus side is i can work from home.  At the moment for me its a concious decision to do this as im getting married this year and need the money.  Im taking a long term view on things and hope time invested now will mean that i dont have to work 12 months of the year in future, i also hope that poker will be able to supliment my down time.

The only suggestion i have is making sure you know what your priorities in life are, for me its family/friends first then my career and finally poker, I squeeze in games when i can and when im not so tired that ill play bad, my volume is very low but im slowly increasing my bankroll and i know that if i can prove i can play i could easily add a bit more to it when the current contract comes to an end.

One other option if you really want to get some volume in is to treat the mrs to a day at a spa, you'll have the whole day to yourself to grind!
