im not a grinder nak but i used to be a pro snooker player, playing mainly from home. i think a lot of parallels can be drawn, esp regards the mental side of it.
looking back i took it too seriously, should have been lighter-hearted about it all. finance was always an issue, but if i could do it again, id break up the day by seeing friends for lunch, that kind of thing. its importnat to break up the monotony and actually enjoy it.

i do have a good friend who is a grinder, he plays from his pc which is set up in the lounge. sometimes the kids are there watching tv, playing with the dog.

the perfect environment in which to play in is a relative concept i guess.

by the way, you mentioned sth about zen and poker if i recall correctly in this blog. if u could lead me in the right direction so i can listen to it it d be appreciated.

thanks and gl...
