i've made a few, most of the ones i can consider closest to a friend, i met when i started playing online , when we're all playing micros, i've met some really nice people, and some who were not that nice, think i was pretty lucky to find people that were pretty good a few years ago and all together we managed to have really good results. I did met lots of new people from different countries with different cultures, which is always great, i've had a lot of fun since i started playing poker
Yes and no, i never really changed, there was a time, probably 2 and a half years ago, that i was still studying and living with my parents, and i was making like 2 times more money per month than both of them combined and there was really no point in continuing to study, since it has been pretty hard to get a job back in portugal, and if you're lucky you'll find one for €800/month for your first 5 years , at least in the engineer area. so i dropped out of uni, and started playing full time, i was still playing the same time, but had a lot of spare time to relax, i've had a pretty good life since
it's good to do whatever you want, whenever you want. i also bought a brand new car when i was 20 , and bought a lot of fancy stuff, that i would never be able to afford if i wasn't playing poker, but that didn't change my attitude towards life.
i do believe in something
