Well, in poker I am doing soso and not putting in all that many hands, I just feel unmotivated and bored with it and I try to avoid playing when I feel that way. But in life I am running pretty good at the moment.

I never considered being a full time poker player all that long. It is something I definitely want to experience but I have always had my mind set on educating myself sooner or later. The past few years I have on and off been thinking of going to medschool. Medicine facinates me alot and I think it would suit me perfectly. Unfortunately it is really hard to get in since you pretty much need perfect grades from high school(which I definitely dont have durr) or you can score a top score on the swedish "högskoleprovet" which I guess is the equivalent of the american SAT.

Yesterday I recive the results for högskoleprovet which I did like a month ago and I binked it at 1.9, 2.0 being the top score so I was very close at acing it. Now this morning I read in the paper that getting into medschool has become alot easier on several schools in sweden and that you now proably only need 1.8 or 1.9 where you used to need 2.0

I am very happy right now, I will apply to a couple of schools next semester so if all goes well I will start school again next fall. This would be pretty great, I think just playing poker without a plan has been wearing down on me as I feel pretty useless, but now I have a goal set and I can spend the following year just getting as good as i possibly can at poker and bank as many dollars as possible.

good luck

i'm in my second year of med school and it is definitely a lot of work, but also satisfying to amass so much knowledge in different fields and integrate and apply it

im glad to hear you are doing well in life. And doing med school sounds really a great plan. But to warn you you have to totally quit poker when at school. Just to give u an idea I have made around 3kVPP in the past 3month!

I am quite aware of this and I am actually kinda looking forward to it. Its going to be pretty cool to completely devote my time to something and just let go of poker. I will still play during the breaks though and hopefully I will still be solid enough to rake in a good hourly rate.

no he doesnt have to (but it's probably optimal tough)

i have a friend who studies medicine in uppsala and he plays around 30-40k hands per month, and he says he definitely have the time for it. I think the biggest problem is how poker could affect the reading when in downswings and so on.. mentally tough. keeping it as a hobby and playing occassionaly is no problem

and obv. it depends on your poker work ethic, some players here put in sick amount of hours, but im not sure saki is one of them =p
