Some dealer told me this is about standard, I have no idea how many I played honestly. What would you say standard hourly hands dealt at a live table is?

just count, I'm sure its fewer than 40/hourlol

also rungoodaments keke. its weird u still have a huge lack of discipline after playing poker for so long, do u lack discipline in other aspects of life? haha seriously though its important that you focus on that quality within yourself in regards to poker. its something everyone has to work to master, I'm still developing my own discipline

Wife...Job (in IT right Saibot?)...Profits are clearly not why poker is played in this case.

You internet kids dont realise how hard it is when you have a fulltime job and fulltime girlfriend/wife and sports to attend to, not much energy is left afterwards for self control and tight boring poker -.-

haha

I have a pretty easy life so it's hard to say if I lack discipline or not. I'm sure everybody does to some degree.

Lemon hit it on the head, i work 8am-6pm Monday-Thurs for a small company as their "IT guy". Kinda sad I never took the opportunity to give myself a real title like network admin or something. While I certainly want profits, and would like to become a professional poker player, and never consider it gambling but rather a game of skill like any sport, it is indeed hard to not want to gamble it up when you have at best 2 hours per night to play.

I've really been gambling with my job itself lately, by playing live till 1am at night during the week, coming home, sleeping for 5 hours, and then taking naps on my lunch break to make up for the exhaustion. I'm frequently late in the mornings just from sheer sleepiness, and my lunch breaks are usually 1.5, sometimes even 2 hours long. I get away with it because I have my own office and work alone in this company so nobody is really mindful of my schedule or where I'm at. They assume if I'm not at my desk, I'm doing something important. What little time I have off, I spend with the wife trying to have a life and do fun things. Everything cant revolve around poker yet. Since I'm still in "training", I cant rationalize my play as a second job, which is also bad, because if I gave it that kind of credibility I would probably be even more focused and take it more seriously. One day.......

Oh, and if 40hands/hr is unrealistic, I guess we'll go with 20. So I pwn at 80BB/100... yeyeah...
