when I decided to quit I thought it would make my life easier in some ways and harder in others.
-easier cause I wasn't gonna have problems telling people what I spend my time on anymore
-easier cause now I was gonna have more time for my girlfriend and friends
-easier cause I was gonna have a healthier life

-harder cause I love the game
-harder cause spending so much time in front of a computer has been my routine since, EVER?
-harder cause I was gonna miss the money, the thrill of winning, the motivation to get better and better at something I was actually finding some sucess
-harder cause my mind would have to accept that I LOST A LOT of time of my life with something I wasn't going to do anymore

I was wrong

I don't miss anything and I feel like I'm improving a lot more as a human being than I was before, and for me that's worth a ton. My days are very productive now. I mean, I really DO STUFF! I feel challenged again. It's not easy to study, work to pay my bills, go to the gym, see my girl, see my friends, sleep, etc. I'm feeling like a POKEMON! Battling everyday to evolve. lol

I have so much in my mind now. I have a project to start a business with a friend of mine in about 6 months from now, I'm looking foward to finish my degree (2 years left), I'm planning to travel with my girl and we are helping each other a lot more.

I'm going to business school but I'm also studying computer science on the side (I went to CS school for 1 year and a half), not really graduating, just studying by myself and learning more about what has always been my passion. ATM I'm focusing on learning more JAVA and PHP, it has something to do with the business I'm gonna start but I tell you guys more about it when I actually do it. So many plans on my head for the future that I don't even want to sleep, I just want to spend time producing. I'm sleeping like 5hours/day except weekends but its totally worth.

Life's good!

edit: sorry for the english mistakes. I'm not used to write big texts in english. I did my best =P

i didn't realize it till a few days ago, but i've become extremely complacent with my poker progress. tt has lp in an interesting craze kinda reminds me of willy wonka's chocolate factory where everyone is trying to get the gold ticket, and kinda made me think of Lottery Ticket (which is gonna be awesome).

anyway i've come to realize taht hand goals and daily hour goals are all kinda dumb, at least for me. instead my only goal is going to be playing better poker and reaching a new goal of perfect poker.

i'm prob gonna start posting a lot of hands and would love all and any feedback in the future.

gl to whoever wins TT's coaching sesh
