Well i cant complain about my poker month

results are not that good so far - 60$ in ~ 16K hands of all different stuff
basically breaking even

could be a lot worse

and i expect to make some decent profits till end of month

I learned a lot about taking poker serious while being in a relaxed mood the last 2 month which is nice.

besides that i managed to finally feel good in long sessions

While in the past i barely played any session > 800 hands at all ( usually got bored after 550 hands )
this month i pulled of several 2K hands + sessions
I love Full Tilt Poker

Pokerstars and Full Tilt are really miles ahead of any other poker network !

RL thing

I recently talked to my best friend and had a conversation that kinda "shocked" me a bit.

So here is the story to the situation.

He did a 3 year apprenticeship at a job after graduating from school to save some monez before going to university
in this 3 years he managed to " RL grind" a 15K €uros into his Bank account while still living with his parents and being very economical with all expenses.

after that he bought an old car for 1K € and moved out to another city to live there on his own and study "mechanical engineering " at University.
Since he moved out he now pays all expenses on his own.
( flat + car + fuel + food + university fee etc.)

He didnt get a job besides studing since there is almost no free time.
He does work for a whole month each 2 times a year in semester break. which gives him + 2000€ a year
rest of it he pays of his 15K € bank account + using credit ( from a bank)

since he needs ~ 700€ / month on average ( flat + car + fuel + food + university fee etc.) his saved money will be gone after
the first 21 months ...and from that on he needs a credit loan.

So that leads us to where he is now
After 2 years of studing at university and living on his own he is broke
he recently went for a 10K credit loan to be able to pay for 2009 expenses
He will need another 10K credit loan for 2010 before he finishes university and starts working at a new job.

In a bad case where he doesnt get a job immediatelly in his first year after university he will need a 3rd 10 K credit loan to survive.

So this will mean that in the best case scenario
he will be ~ 15.000€ in debts 2011

in worst case scenario he will be 30.000€ in debts 2011

The thing is that if i didnt find poker by a fluke i would be in the exact same situation
probably even worse !

I will not become rhich

but at least its very likley that i will never experience how it feels to be in debts
thinking of being in debts alone kinda scares me to hell >-<
