I started getting into poker about halfway through my freshman year in college. I thought about it as a means of getting more money because I didn’t want to do a work study. I started playing online poker on Absolute Poker. I heard it was one of the best sites of college poker. I ended up winning $200 on one of the tourneys and that started my bankroll.

I started playing Limit Holdem, because I found it was fun, stressless casual game. Starting to put in some serious hours at the table, but I found that I wasn’t getting the profit that I was hoping for. I was getting around 20 bucks a week, which was nice but I was hoping for more. So I went to the bookstore and bought a couple of poker books. I started reading the books and playing poker everyday. Found out that I was getting behind in some of my classes. Ended up having to cut down my playing time to catch up to work.

I heard at a time management seminar that you should think of college as a job. Make hours for yourself to do work only. My hours were from 9-5 ever day. I got off ‘work’ at 5 and I had the rest of the night to do what ever I wanted. There are still nights that I have to study for exams, but I get most of my studying in during my hours. I got into this plan where I study up for poker, for half an hour, then start my poker session. It’s amazing because I started putting more focus on my playing then worrying about school.

It’s been about a year and a half since I’ve started playing poker on Absolute Poker. I’m now currently making around 10,000 a month and it’s ever increasing. You could do exactly like I did if you could manage your time.
