Get a job. Make a nest egg. Bet it all on an IPO. Sell out when it doubles. Retire and play P99 all night, sippin' Crystal and boffin' hoe's.

I work about 40 a week. Honestly, it's other things that eat more into my play time. Family and school, not upset about either. Sometimes sleep time suffers.

I know a couple of people have jobs that allow them to play at work.

Id say if you are a "normal" person who works 40 hours a week.

Try to get in a couple hours a day - you know when the GF is busy doing something or whatever

= 10 hours per week

Then hammer a solid 5-7 hours a day each weekend day if you can (try early in the morning, its surprising the hours between 7am-Noon that you wouldnt use anyhow)

= 10=14 hours a week

For a grand total of 20-24 hours a week which isnt hardcore but its not chump change, you will certainly progress

you can still flip burgers with 3h of sleep.

From reading these posts, the answer is "don't have a life outside of your job and EQ" from what I can tell....or don't have a GF/wife that lives with you.

I work 40 hours a week and there is no way with spending time with my GF, working out, and drinking with friends I could log " 5-7 hours a day each weekend day" and 2 hours a weekday without losing one of the aforementioned. If I could get my GF to play EQ it would be doable...... don't you guys every sit back and think that you are wasting your lives away playing 7 hours of EQ every Saturday and Sunday?

I hit the powerball a while back and now I spend my days sitting on my private beach, sipping margaritas while playing eq.
