| I love this game of poker, but I try to keep it in balance with other things in my life. Due to major health issues including a quadbypass, this now has to take care of the competitive side for me. I still work parttime and it is in the evening and really kills my playing time. I get to play only 2-3 evenings a week. I also have a wife and family to balance and sometimes can cause friction as well. It is always important to remember that your family should come first, then other interests. I have made money and never invested a dime of my own money and for most this is the way to go unless of course you can really afford it. |
