4) I’m filling the hole I felt from stopping to compete in chess tournaments bi-weekly or thereabouts for 10+ years.... strategy games are my calling bruh
5) The money is fine and I’m just getting started
6) Progress
7) no regrets
Just to name a few.
That being said it’s difficult. I love basketball. Love it. I haven’t watched a single game, not one, from start to finish. I wake up in the morning, get ready etc. and do poker for like 10 hours straight with breaks in between for chess, errands etc.
I’m willing to work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 on someone else’s terms so this lifestyle suits me.
