If your main goal is succeeding at school then you should think hard about how running break-even for your next 10K hands is going to impact your ability to concentrate on that goal.
Your job is there. You show up, you get paid, you focus on school, you succeed. If you play poker you are putting a ton of pressure on your main goal; unless your British in which case you're putting a tonne of pressure on your main goal.
Plus 10k hands is utterly meaningless statistically for determining your true winrate (even with GameTime+ [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]).
Get your education. Poker is a nice hobby until you've beaten the game for 200k hands, dealt with crushing downswings, discovered your not as smart or disciplined as you think you are and you still feel you could stand to do it full-time.
