Can I make a living part time playing poker? I am about to be a dad for the first time in December, I am trying to lose 100 lbs, and trying to make a living playing poker part time. Can I do all this and not lose my mind?

LATE REPORT
This weekend's poker was pretty bad. I did concentrate on more large tournaments including the Pokerstars quartermillion Sunday Tournament which are about like hitting the lottery. I think there were 31,000+ people in that one. I need to quit screwing around with such large tournaments and concentrate on the 18 man SNG's. I also need to stop watching the stupid Dallas Cowboys while I am playing because when I see bad things happening to them, it rubs off on my game. I played about 20 of the 18 man SNG's from Saturday through last night and whiffed on everyone but last night I decided to jump into an 18 man $25.00 + $2.00 and I placed 2nd which gave me about $130.00 back into my bank roll so I am a little in the black for the week. Last night I had an hour live coaching session with Ben Reasons from grinderschool.com. If you don't take lessons and your struggling and losing or even breaking even, I highly suggest taking lessons, downloading hold em manager, downloading a hand evaluator and SNG Wizard. All of these have helped my game. I try to play 5 nights a week and I try to do an hour of video lessons at lunch everyday while I am at work. Luckily we have extra offices with computers so I can go in and watch and not eat which helps my diet. I am now down 60 lbs with another 40 to 50 to go. Saturday nights I don't play poker. Rhonda doesn't have to work so we do the farmers market on saturday, I play a few games in the afternoon, then we go out to eat and come home and watch a movie. Last Saturday night we watched Kick Ass. It was pretty good but I have to say I was a little shocked to hear a little girl who was maybe 10 or 11 call a guy a "cunt". Not like I am old fashion by any means but that was a bit much. Right after the movie Rhonda had some false labor pains...contractions 15 minutes apart. Scared the hell out of me. I thought we were going to have to run to the hospital and have the baby right then. We have about 7 1/2 weeks to go. I have found that when Rhonda is laying in bed, if I put my face on her belly and talk soft to the baby, he hears me and moves around to the sounds of my voice. It maybe the neatest thing I have ever experienced.
