Wasn't abused, had a very happy childhood. Couldn't imagine doing anything else and def live poker > normal job to me. Basically +1 to everything Ruse said
Only way it might be taking years off of me is the lack of movement I get during the day while grinding. As Ruse and I have discussed almost any normal job has some amount of movement involved, whereas we sit here and grind 8+ hours straight without taking any sync breaks...not good on the ole body
I'm 27 now, been grinding online for a living for 9+ years, and having some slight health problems. Still young enough to make changes though and salvage the situation heh
Congrats devin and hope everyone in STTF is doing well!
