I used to work 2 ****ty jobs (one literally involved human feces) 7 days a week for nearly a year, with commuting I worked about 65 hours a week, putting in hours at poker seems like a harder task tbh since theres no one there to fire you lol

I currently do live in a 3rd world country, if I lived back home I'd be forced to grind more

also not to make excuses but I have pretty bad adhd so putting in hours for me is harder than for the average grinder, but I'd still honestly rather grind poker for 25k/year than get a real job, I'm naturally lazy and the worst feeling in the world is having to wake up before you feel like it imo
