I've been sitting in Entrepreneurship class for the last 2 hours. I was paying attention for the first half hour but soon after the only thing I could think about was if we would be let out early so I could get home in time for the $150 tournaments tonight. I honestly didn't listen to a word the professor said from then on. I was thinking about the hands I misplayed from the midnight $100 on party last night where I bubbled the final table. I was thinking about where I went wrong deep in the $22 rebuy. What I should do with all the money on neteller. Which games I want to play tonight.
Even when I'm not playing cards, more often than not I am thinking about it and am starting to have some guilt issues. I feel like I used to be a much more well-rounded person before poker became such a big part of my everyday life.
Does anybody else feel as if they've been totally consumed by the game?

It happened to me when I was in grad school, unfortunately.... Or maybe that was fortunate.

I think at least a third of the players who pot on this site regularly are consumed by poker. Your in good company.

I had to drop out after my 2nd year of Robotics. Although I was passing the course with flying colors, I just couldnt focus on the course. And I had no desire to do homework or projects. I found myself getting notes from friends and copying their homework more and more. Until I finally said screw it... I can always fall back on school. But for now, I'm going to milk poker for every dime I can. If it doesn't work out, I can always go back to school.... it's never too late.

Broo - I couldn't agree more with your last few sentences, I'm in the same boat.
School will always be there, but will the online poker boom?

I suck at school, im failing EVERYTHING, but just the same I CAN'T
quit, because I don't have the funds to live on my own yet, and it
reaaalllly sucks!

Apparently your guys' college is nothing like mine. I'd give up
nearly anything to be back at UC Santa Barbara. F
graduating. "School will always be there" but will the friends,
girls, partying, countless stories, and the thousands of other things
you learn, still be there?

I feel ya GB. I used to be the one goin out at least three or four nights out of the week, now I'm strugglin to get up for Friday nights cause I rather be playing and makin money for post college life when I need it. I'm in my last semester so its not a huge deal that I'm not goin out because for the most part everyone has toned it down somewhat but I just dont feel that guilt when I miss a night at the bars as much as i used to.

Spud, you dont have to attend classes to hang out in a university atmosphere. I dropped out a few years ago and I have all those things as well as a budding poker career. Plus I have 2 years of credits under my belt.
