the obvious answer is to drop out of school and dump your girlfriend (or, in my case, drop out of school and get dumped by your girlfriend).

You can fit an hour of poker in a couple days a week. Trust me, the time is there.

Just plan your day out and put an hour in for poker. Even an hour a couple days a week is better than nothing. You just have to make the conscience effort to play.
A much better solution is playing poker all day and sending your girlfriend to me. I will keep her occupied while you play. (Disclaimer, no fat chicks, send those to spoon).

play 12 tables, and then your one hour twice a week is the equivalent of someone elses 20 hours a week.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

honestly, regardless of how good somebody is at poker, I think it's a stretch that anybody could play this many tables without a lot of practice. I do it, but if I take even one day off, I can tell when I come back that I'm not in the groove. In all honesty, even the first hour or so into a session this is true. One of these days I will realize that I should just play 8 or 9 and when I'm really in the groove I can bump that up to 11 or 12.

There is most definitely time to play poker, you just have to make it. I'm a high school teacher, which can be a pretty demanding and draining job, but I've still been able to get in about 12k hands in the past month.
Hopefully the whole having a girlfriend thing doesn't really mean, "My GF doesn't approve of me playing online poker because it's gambling," or "My GF doesn't approve of me playing online poker instead of hanging out with her."

Pick your priorities
If your gf sucks play poker instead
IF you dont care about grades, play poker
If you dont want friends, use that time to play poker
If you dont party all the time, use that time to play poker.
