Requests advice from all the parents out there
Ok, here is the background you need to know to offer advice- I play NL, usually 2 $50 tables at once. Up to now I have been happy with the rate at which my bankroll has grown. Three weeks ago my wife gave birth, our second kid. I thought I had the perfect plan, as I have been taking the first night shift with the little guy and playing some poker after he falls asleep. He is a good sleeper and generally will stay asleep if rocked, so I figured what the hell, I got to stay awake to rock him anyway, and he is sleeping so I am not denying him my attention….
But the problem is that my bankroll has dropped 10% over these three weeks. I knew it wasn't going well, but I didn't realized how bad it was going. Clearly this is not some swing, I have leaks that I need to plug and can't give the time to fix them yet. So I am taking some time off. My questions for all you parents, particularly the dads, is how much time did you take off after a child was born?
