In addition to my job as a principal, I bought several old houses that needed upgrading, which I took care of in my spare time, without stopping to play chess and engaging in sport activities. Today, I have added poker to my hobbies. I play it for fun, while dedicating hours of study to better understand the strategies, as well as those who are willing to 'share my table'; that's probably why I don't consider them as my enemies, even though sometimes(!) they try to pull some tricks on me...

I played backgammon online before poker and before computers became normal I was a voracious philatelist who spent thousands of $ building a collection and when I moved from NH to Florida I sold it for only $850 f ing dollars. I did not want to transport 5 twenty lbs cartons to Florida and humidity is not a friend of stamps. The collection sat dormant from 1980 until I sold it. Marriage golf kids and poker got in the way. Now throw grandchildren in the mix.

I simply cannot remember what I did, but I must have been very productive compare to now as most of my freetime goes in playing poker online :
Went to school, played a lot of soccer, hung out with friends. When I discovered online poker, I stopped studying well at university, my friends became even more, and I stopped playing soccer. :unsure:

I used to do a lot of sewing, but after poker I practically no longer sew.

it was many years of disappearing into MMORPGs(Lineage 2 and else). It was a real addiction)) With the advent of poker in my life, I did not separate the time of poker and something else... everything happened by itself. It felt like there was amnesia and at one moment I immediately remembered everything. Despite all the pain of bad beats and coolers in important moments of the game, poker is still the best thing that happened in life

Simplesmente não consigo lembrar o que fiz, mas devo ter sido muito produtivo em comparação a agora, já que passo a maior parte do meu tempo livre jogando pôquer online:
I really liked online games, but they didn't bring me a profit, just a waste of time and money.
Today, with poker, I use the same amount of time to make money
