Well, it's better than losing. Look on the bright side: you'd totally be crushing the game if there was no rake.

It could be worse, you could be just about dead nuts even like I am, actually slightly losing over my last 120K. Maybe in another 60K I can crank out a +700BBs and be happy.

Dude this year has been incredibly chitty. Even live has been ugly. I played a 10/20 at the Taj this past Monday in one of the best games I've seen in a long time, like 5+ to the flop for multiple bets almost every hand for like 6 hours. My VPIP in that game was probably like 7% including blinds. I mean I had NOTHING even close to playable, nothign even suited, not even 3 gappers. I was praying for some MW suited hands to play, any pockets, etc...but just too many 62o, 82o, K4o, Q3o, etc hands. I was drooling with a towel duct taped to my jaw it was that good. But as expect, the big hands got cracked...gonna happen in games that loose, but even monsters were getting cracked...boat lost to runner runner double board pair bigger boat, overpairs to rivered 2 outer sets, dominated hands rivering kickers, big pockets losing to an Aced river, etc. Same type of hands that I've been battling all year, nothing new, not whining, it's just the reality of the entire year. I can't wait for 2005 to just end so I can feel like its over! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I am realizing that I don't play anywhere near the amount of hands needed to improve to the level I desire. Hey x2ski, how long did it take you to play that many hands?

I average 3,000-6,000 a session (6-12 hrs). I try to get in 50,000+ hands a month, but if I actually applied myself and worked 40 hours a week (hell, 30 hours a week) like a friggin' adult, I'd get in way more.

You read poker books, and post and discuss poker outside of 2+2- these are parts of being a professional player. Just cause you don't play 40 hours a week doesn't mean you aren't putting in 40 + hours of "work" per week.
I might also try breaking up some of your session. Playing 3-6 hrs straight is going to make it very hard to play your A game the whole time.
