Poker Player Reflects on Career and Life Decisions After a Year

A year ago, I wrote a post about reducing my focus on poker. Many praised me for this mature decision, while others expressed their financial constraints that prevented them from doing the same. Some even suggested that I would regret my choice. After a year, I realized that while poker might have been an obstacle, it wasn't the sole reason for my dissatisfaction.

I decided to study business at the University of Wilfrid Laurier, which has been a positive experience. I met many interesting people, but the curriculum itself hasn't been as engaging as I hoped. Poker, on the other hand, offers a unique level of control over the learning process, which I now appreciate more than ever.

In the past month, I've been playing poker more frequently and have had successful results. This experience has shown me that poker can be enjoyable in moderation and doesn't have to dominate my life. I've also recorded two instructional videos, which seem to have been well-received. Overall, I've grown more mature and understand the importance of balancing different aspects of my life, including poker, education, and business.
