Overall, would you consider yourself a failure or successful in life?

Could do with being a little taller, still have all my hair though.

I'm doing ok, not a high flyer but not a bum, somewhere in the middle I guess. Though posting on Sherdog gives me instant cred of course.

Failure.

I wasted my teenaged years and my twenties.

I'm turning myself around in my late thirties, got myself a good job and my own flat, but it's late and I'm getting old.

I didn't really get my shit together until my late 20's, and I kind of stumbled into playing poker as a main income stream.

When I started playing it was because of the competitive aspect and a drive to be the best. I played almost daily for 5 years before I even attempted to try to make a living off it. I was obsessed. I probably spent thousands of hours playing, reading about it, watching videos, browsing forums for information and hand analysis, playing with calculators and solvers.

I've since translated that into a few different income streams to where I can live a modest and humble life without much worry. But I don't need flashy or expensive things to be happy. Just security and freedom.

I think it's because of the Tiger Blood.

Before Black Friday, I was taking down over $100K a year on the side, playing at night and weekends online. Now online poker is wrecked sadly, with a ton of scumbags running solvers. I wish I had more time for brick and mortar.

It also means you're likely 6'3" jacked and tanned.

Everyone makes mistakes, both personal and professional.
I've had my share.
But overall, demonstrably successful.

My motto in life has always been "I'll figure it out."

*also, all I wanted was a Pepsi

Overall a success. Had more failures than I would have liked, and things looked depressing for a few years there.
