I have to talk you about poker, I used to do really well at it until I quit. I am not sure if I will play again but would love to talk strategy.....I just grew tired of sitting next to the players that play in South Florida. You should eventually travel there if you're a good player, they're brutal players there. You would clean up.
Of the 4 things you list, quite honestly the only one that has any hope of happening by my time frame is a haircut. That's what I really meant. I know it's depressing to hear and I am sure you know already.
I'm not good enough to make a living (at least I don't think), but I'm good enough where I walk into most poker tournaments and look at myself in the top 10-15% of players. For higher buyin tournaments, I'm not quite at that level, but I can more than hold my own. I've gotten a lot better in the last year. When I was in college, PokerStars paid for my dinner and my weed.
Now that I'm home all the time, I'm playing a ton online again. I had shied away from it because I work nights, and I don't want to waste my two off nights a week at home grinding online poker. Now that I'm stuck at home all day, I'm playing a lot more. I play tournaments, so I need to block off a chunk of time to play. I was up until 5:30 AM PT last night playing. That's why I slept through my picks in the mock draft! But I had one of my biggest wins ever last night (in a different tournament), so it was worth it. I used to play online all the time, but since moving to California, the only times I would play would be on my phone when I'm playing live. But now I'm back to playing 4+ tables at a time online!
If I move back east and go on a poker trip (and don't die from coronavirus), I may choose Florida over Vegas. I've heard a lot about the Seminole Hard Rock.
