Retired

--- Nuked ---

gl with all future endeavors man

GL, I think it's a wise choice.

Sooner or later you'll be at the point where your hypothetical daily poker winnings would be trumped by the daily swings in your investment portfolio

gl fazi and if you ever want to flip agian let me know .

Glad you have direction past poker, I'm currently working on that myself. You think you can write up a big poker autobiographical some time? I'd love to read it, about what you think you acquired from it both monetarily and mentally, etc.

gl with your studies!

i'm in HK right now if you want have any questions or need anything

gl man, lemme know if you need a stake

I swear I just saw something about you taking down a huge tourney not too long ago, sorry to see you go

Good luck in your endeavors sir

gl man

Best of luck

F4zi,

Good to hear you are taking this road! I'm sure if you handle your studies with the same dilligence as you did with poker, you'll kick ass!

Johan

Yea good luck. Fwiw you're pretty much the only one I've considered taking coaching from.

Best of luck buddy, hope the studies go well

Glgl, I have one question though... What's going to pay for your man purses now?

good stuff!

good luck F4Zi, i enjoyed your blog, hope you will do well

Smart. I basically spent past three years forced to play poker to feed a family while having to endure the same bell curve. The result? Mediocre results on both. It is smart to simply choose one and devote to it.

I think people would enjoy a write up, as would I.

get them chinese kids

balla

sounds like a sound life decisiion.

that being said, still hit wsops yearly with 20k or so and have tons of fun in the city when your 21, your a great player and can bink down another monster and always win tons in the sidegames

gl and enjoy your life sir,
neeeeeillly

boss

All the best F4zi

So now your 6 fig ptr results will be from mere casual play. Sounds even better

Actually some study's are pretty intense and I can assure you you won't have much time on your hands once you enter senior years. Unless you always play poker in your free time, which well, gives you no life..... You can always put in some number of hands but in the end I think poker takes at least like 40-50k hands a month to maintain focus/skills/profits. Atm i have time for like 20-25k hands a month, Big swing can bring you 4 months of bullshit income. I can pay study with poker i'm happy, but to get rich from it is pretty hard.

good luck with your choose of life!! GG!

making 6 figs a year at poker is way easier than studying for a tough degree like fazi is doing and getting a 1st, imo

gl with it

Most people who have done both (me included I graduated top of my class in a tougher course) will disagree with u.

do you ever say anything that doesn't hint at how awesome and successful you are wobbly?

yes i do loco yes i do

wobbly ur like the least likeable guy ive ever encountered. gj

And good luck to you faz, good choice imo, gl with school

fwiw, you're the most interesting read on this site. GL man, take it easy and enjoy life.

Go ahead and ship ur roll to mine, i'm sure it's a tax write off

I guess you can also stop/slow down poker cause you are getting bored of it, you don't have the thrill you used to have...

And what most would agree on this forum, is that Fazi seems to be a nice funny guy while you are not seen like that here. He succeeded where you failed.

It was nice to read your blog. gl

i have to disagree with you here Ket.


It is much much harder to be a high stakes winning player than is to get a degree, everybody gets a fucking degree ffs, unless you are a certified moron all u need to do is warm ur seat and dont be huge idiots and thats it.

I didnt graduate but i studied 2 years of mechanical engineering and it was stupidly easy not remotely as challenging as poker has been in every way.

So many of my friends graduated and now have fucking master degrees and i am 100% certain they wouldnt be successful at poker.

PS: before somebody brings the "lol mexico" card, my friends have master degrees in european universities

Yes Baal I am sure it is "stupidly easily" to attain a 1st from a top university in a difficult subject. Competing against a class-full of hard working straight A students for 3-4 years is a cake walk.

They're different skillsets required anyway it's like comparing juggling to riding a unicycle and saying one is 'easier' than the other. They also both require different types of intelligence - I assume you are smart enough to be aware of such a concept beyond the inherently vague term 'intelligence'.

Regards.

No university in HK is a top university and it is far from a difficult course stop exaggerating. Actually they are similar skill sets except poker goes one level further and requires psychology emotional toughness instead of just dedication hardwork and a competitive nature.

This is pretty pathetic. When a member of the community leaves, the least you can do is say "good luck" if you're going to post here.

And on that note, good luck to your studies, don't listen to the naysayers. Do what you think is best for yourself.

Any chance you can ship me your poker skills seeing as you won't use them any more.

Being in a top university isn't exactly equivalent to having a tougher time than in a somewhat less famous university.
Also: I agree with Baal, getting a degree isn't that hard.
I'm trying to get back into poker, but it's gotten way tougher and I don't know if I still have the energy for it. Oh well, wish you good luck studying
