There isn't a future in poker right now, and it is infinitely harder now to make it than it was 12 years ago. I am sure you know this.
There are TONS of ways to make money if you have even a little bit to start, I would explore those options as well.
Even if I was a winning player, poker would be my LAST option right now if I was looking for something the build a life around.
This will probably make a great documentary, but a terrible real life story in the end.
Poker didn't deplete anything, pretty much a lack of poker did, I had one losing year in the last 12.... I am a winning player this year as well, but other projects eliminated most of the poker for 2012.... and what I built playing poker slowly reduced every month starting in May of this year. It's not as if I went on a massive downswing and lost everything, I directed my work ethic elsewhere, maybe a mistake, but ultimately I think that time got me very good at other things and now if i can get myself back to my working shape again then it will all work out well for me... Sure I need to make forward thinking life decisions, but its all part of the process.
If I played 50-80 hours a week, week in and week out this year my year end and bankroll would probably match the same pattern that it has since 01, but i didn't so I came up with this idea, I can add content and intrigue to our website and play poker and the two are blended instead of opposite things I have to decide between on the regular.
