You always hear about the fact that to get better is not just about playing. One needs to have friends with whom to work ideas through- need to have different viewpoints- then you need to spend time by yourself going over your hands (I've even seen 1 hour for every 3 hours played)
My scenario:
I am 41 years old (gainfully employed - thank god) and my (poker playing) friends don't think about poker anywhere close to what I do
I have 2 kids who need my attention and need to get to soccer and theater
I have a wife who needs to talk and is worried when I spend to much time playing poker
Different scenario:
College kid- super smart- probably doesn't need to go to class
No kids or wife (maybe a super cool girlfriend who is OK with you playing poker)
Supersmart friends who love to sit around and discuss poker while drinking beers or smoking pot
So how do I combat this. There is just so much $ to be made online
