I also forgot to mention that online tournament poker is much more damaging to the body that online cash game poker. MTTs can take your entire day away whereas cash games you are in full control.

When I played MTTs full time 2013-2015 I absolutely destroyed my body (both muscles, and internal organs) which I'm not repairing thanks to Yoga and Holistic Nutrition. It's also because in MTTs the stakes and the stress levels are WAY HIGHER than you experience in cash games.

When I played cash full time I never had these issues because I could start and stop when I pleased and had more regular meal times, workout times, social times, etc.

It's very important to be wary of the allure of tournament poker, the reality of it is very different than what the media projects and what the poker sites would want you to believe.

Not saying you can't win big, and not saying the rush isn't amazing. But it comes with a heavy tax on the nervous system and it's important to have routines and structures in place to be able to recover appropriately. (For me it's FLOATING, Massage Therapy/Spas, and Spending time in NATURE or DANCING w/ friends)
