Balancing University and the Poker Grind:

I discovered poker in my final years of university, long after the "golden era." While my peers are building resumes and networking for corporate jobs, I am spending my nights studying solver outputs and grinding micro-stakes. It feels exhausting double life.

Honestly, balancing university and poker is probably harder than either one alone. But if you can manage both, you’re building skills that transfer far beyond poker.

Tough to balance that much. Continue grinding but make sure your life goals don't get pushed to the side.

Just try to focus on studies, life & things you enjoy. Don't burnout yourself to poker (or anything for that matter), just play some not all the nights.

this is wery hard to achieve due to the fact poker thakes a lot of hours and school also.

I understand you. I think the interesting thing about poker is that, if you really want to improve, it ends up being much more than playing: studying hands, analyzing statistics, reviewing errors and understanding the mathematical part can be very time consuming.
