Have you done a cost analysis?

I play 3/6...I make .55 bb/100...
Thanks for the reply

This equals $3.30 per 100 hands. I don't see how any advantage player could win less than 1.0 bb/100 at 2/4 on Empire. That's $4.00 per 100 hands or 21% increase in profit. Would the fall off in rakeback in dropping from 3/6 down to 2/4 eat up this extra profit?
On another note, you make more in playing poker than your regular job? If I recall your numbers, 20 hours per week at around 200 hands per hour (you said sometimes 4x games, sometimes not). 4000 hands per week, 18000 hands per month, 99 big bets per month, $594 per month, rakeback at a guess of $40 per 1000 total hands, VIP bonus of $100 per month, Reload bonus of $100-200 per month. All this equals $1565 per month if my math is correct (math isn't my strong point) or $18,780 for the year.
So you make less than $18k a year in your 40 hour/week job? I'm not poking fun, I'm just clarifying. If this is the case, don't work on improving your poker, work on finding a higher paying job. Why not spend the extra 20 hours a week learning a new skill or trade or some type of degree that would then pay a lot more? I'm guessing 20 hours a week of night classes could put you through law school or get you a CPA. That, or quit your job and play poker. You could have the same salary on 20 hours/week less of work.
