Overall I am up playing poker in the last 6 years.
My love of poker comes and goes in spurts, not that I get frustrated or need to take a break from losses. I seriously just find something else that interests me for a few months but when I come back it is right back to where I left off in terms of generating profit.
And to be honest it's not that I have been dealt the deck, sucking out more than the numbers would suggest, or anything that comes with what casual players like to refer to as "Running good". I've just been playing really solid poker with no distractions.
Last Monday I made it a point to really track my playing and committed myself to playing exactly 40 hours of poker on my vacation from work. The end result as of right now is taking a $160 bankroll turning into $904.30 which yielded an $18.60/Hr result. Something I can easily get by with.
I was tinkering with the idea of working my regular job just on the weekends which would enable me to have health insurance, pay all my monthly expenses plus stash a few bucks for a rainy day. I also took a substantial buyout from my previous employer that is in Savings. So if Shit ever hit that fan I would be covered for well over a year.
I'm not trying to be some internet hot shot playing in the highest of stakes or traveling or anything of that nature. I want to have freedom to "grind" around other things I want to do with my life.
So basically I am asking for any advice from personal experiences or any thing I am over looking.
