August hasnt been great. I was making a sweet recovery but jesus wanted diffrent and I dropped like 8k over the weekend. I have been playing very sloppy and unfocused so I deserve poor results.

As always after a crappy weekend I turn to the big sunday donkaments for comfort, hoping that this week I might score big. I ran superwell in the sunday million, at one point I was pretty much dead after this nasty hand:

Fortunately I shipped in 67s the hand after that one and got it in against two ppl who both held JJ. I rivered the flush and got back into the game. I ran well, mostly in table draws. I spend quite alot of time on tables where I could just run over ppl completely and build a huge stack. After building a healthy stack I proceeded to run superhot catching AA against KK, sucking out on AA with KK etcetc.

With 12 or something left I am chipleader and I start glancing at the top 3 payouts getting a little excited. I fail with a couple of steals but still have a healthy stack and this happens:

I have no idea what this guy is doing shoving 7 mill with AQ but its 6-handed and I have JJ ffs. Cant fold obv it just sucks that I had to put my donkament life on the line in a flip when I felt the remainder of the players where pretty bad. Then again, if I win that flip Im in suuuuuch good shape to completely pwn the donkament and just rape the final table.

Right now I feel disapointed but as soon as it sinks in I think I will be glad that I atleast made 7,5k. After dropping 4k in ftops im now up 3,5k in donkaments so with rakeback I suppose Im booking a 6k month.

Not really excited about that result obv but as I said previously, I dont think I deserve anything more with the way I have been playing in cashgames.

School starts in a few hours and I cant really say I am excited at all. It was sweet to meet up with friends but fuck, I dont really feel like studying at all.

I have been thinking ALOT about dropping out and I still havent decided what to do.

Pros with studying:

I my classmates alot, hanging out with them is sweet and school isnt all to hard most of the time.

Gives me some sort of structure in life.

Getting an exam is a good thing.

cons:

I hate 90% of my courses. This shit doesnt interest me and I feel like im not learning shit.

I really dont want to work as a journalist ever, ever.

School is interfering with my poker career. I loose focus and generally I have in the past done very poorly in poker during the terms.

Therapy session over. Thanks everyone who railed my million run, take care kids!

drop out and beat 5/10, live the good life ect... go back to school later if u want.

Its hard to make a easy buck legally, its impossible to make a easy buck morally.

my friends dropped out and won bracelets, but I'm staying in school. I'd stay in just to be around friends if I were you.

Of course it was a good shove, I won

why don't you start over with a profession you would actually want to do? I mean it's technically freerolling,you get the structure and the friends,you get to learn something you like (even if it doesn't guarantee you lots of money as a job) while making money through poker. That's what I'd do if my bad poker months involved making 6k

new shit has come to light... a-and... shit! man...

i would take a year off, re-prioritize your life goals, then crush poker and see where it takes you.

I was on the way to having a huge month, hit a nice heater and was rolled for NL100 and then dropped all my profit in 1 night of running like total shit (lost every set I hit, lost with every overpair, so on). So I know how you feel. I have avoided poker since friday night when I had that horrible run.

Saki, I'm part of the camp that thinks you should stay in school and just get that shit done, but if you really mean what you're saying in your post, this is almost a no-brainer decision. If you really hate school and don't want to work in the field you're currently studying, wtf, do your thing and be happy. Lebowski has an extremely good point about just finding something you want to do and doing it. Life is too short for this shit. And congrats on your million cash, a shame it had to end that way. >_<

Oh, and your pros:
-You'll have friends regardless of whether or not you're taking the same classes with them. If you're close friends you'll find ways to keep in touch imo. Srsly, "I go to school b/c I have friends there" is like...wtf. "I'm switching careers because I have friends in that one." isn't far off?
-Structure is something you're going to have to provide for yourself, rely on school to do it for you...and what's going to happen when you grad and don't actually want to work a "job" job? T_T
- noooo idea what you mean by exams. -p

The cons are pretty self explanatory, rofl; maybe you're drunk. D:
Hope you run better.
