My strategy to balance poker, website building and finishing my thesis is to allocate time to each carefully.
In the beginning of the month I play poker in the weekends and some in the evenings. I try to make 2-3k€ (approx 3-4.5k$) to pay the rent and then I stop playing, unless I have some sparetime / great urge to play more.

I reached my poker goal for February this weekend. I, therefore can now focus completely on my thesis (6 am - 7 pm) and after dinner I can work on my iDeal poker (it's in dutch O_o) website or grind TV series and go to bed early (10pm).

one interesting mess up in this hand at 2/4€, should have pot flop & jam turn; as played I think I have to call, would I have bet less on the flop & turn I think it's an easy c/f river.
