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?

I guess if you want to be good at anything, trying to ignore it will not get the job done. There is an old saying "the harder i work, the luckier I get" and I think that applies to anything you want to excel in-so being consumed with the game just may be a desire to to excel at the game!

Pearl-I feel sorry for you and I don't!

First, it is always difficult to go 4 years to school and be 4 credits away from graduating. Who wants to say I fell 4 credits shy of gradiating. Nevertheless, to take the 4 credits will get in the way of your playing schedule which in your early 20's is netting you a minimum of 400K to 500k per year.
 
I guess what I'm saying is that although it is not an easy fix, it is a nice problem to have!

Good luck in whatever you decide ad congrats on your success at the tables!
