[QUOTE="Vanessa Selbst, post: 2022728, member: 93527"] I had spent the year after college doing research in Madrid and playing a LOT of online and live poker. I built up my bankroll and knew I could be successful at the game, especially as a cash game player. When I came back the following year, I was working a job for 70 hours a week at a consulting firm because it was the next thing on the list of things you were "supposed to do" to become successful. Finally I just gave in to poker, since I realized I could make more money playing 15 hours every week and spend the newly found free time having fun and also volunteering and a non-profit organization. So that's what I did for a year and half before I went to law school. I also got a backer and decided to give tournaments a go for the fun of it, not knowing if I would be successful at those. It actually didn't go all that well in that year, as I bricked every single big-buy-in WPT or EPT that I entered, but I had a lot of fun doing it. I was actually extremely lucky - everyone close to me has always been nothing but supportive of everything I've done. I thank my lucky stars for that every single day. [/QUOTE]
