Default Full time players - plateaus

For those who play full time, or support themselves primarily through poker - what is your longest plateau in terms of hours? And if it was when you started playing (e.g. break-even player for x hours until I started winning), what is your longest plateau since you began winning?

I'm not referring to a specific game or limit, I am just talking about overall results.

You can include rakeback or not if you want.

I have been playing for a couple of years, supporting myself primarily through poker for around 1 year, and recently came off a 350 hour plateau. It was a result of running bad at my typical games (5/10 short, 10/20 full live, and various others), taking shots at higher games than I was bankrolled for, coping with living costs, and having to rebuild at lower limits.

If I had managed my bankroll a little better, I suppose I wouldn't have encountered such a bad plateau. Needless to say, I'm glad to be off of it.
