Balancing Poker with Work/School Balancing Poker with Work/School

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been discussed before but just wondering how you all balance poker with work/family/school/sports. I'm currently going to be a college senior and play on the baseball team which takes up a ton of time. It's very difficult to find the time to play as much poker as I would like too. I enjoy poker a ton and would love to rise up the stakes, it's just hard balancing my time. Currently playing 10nl (10bb/100 wr over 30k hands) and 25nl (5.74bb/100 wr over 46k hands). So I feel like I'm competent enough to get to 50nl/100nl just lacking the BR and hrs to get there. Any input would be awesome to hear because sometimes all I want to is play poker, but am held back by other commitments.
Thanks

Well, to rise up the stakes you have to put in a tooon of work over hundreds and thousands of hours. I think its pretty unlikely to be a great baseball player, while going to school and still put enough hours to get better and beat higher stakes.

Unless you are super talented for poker and even then you have to work hard.
