There is one thing about tracking/statistics/etc that may not be a factor for Irieguy, but is often overlooked.

Almost everyone that plays poker thinks of themselves as a good poker player... but as we all know, that just cannot be true.

It's easy to remember cashing out $1,000 ... but selective memory has us overlook that one may have done 5 different $300 buy ins over the year prior to that cashout.

I guess my point is, while I understand Irieguy's great post about the difference between being happy, and being a stat maniac, without that stat tracking a lot of people will be able to falsely convince themselves they are making money. Or, they aren't making as much moeny as they think they are.
