I played a couple hands too passively and let people catch up that got me stuck 200. I made a bad fold with an over pair when one the tightest guys led the flop for pot. I did win a big pot to get back in the green in this hand-

I know I haven't accomplished much by most standards, but I have progressed a lot personally. 2 years ago I was unemployed, had less than $100 to my name and was grinding playchips. 1 year ago I was grinding 10nl on FTP. Now after a lot of shots at 2/4 I have finally got some traction recently.
I know I am underrolled right now so I can't be extremely confident in that regard. I am confident in the fact that I am playing better than I have in the past and I see myself constantly improving.
I have to agree with dem88boyz in that I should be looking at my life + poker from a business perspective. Since I have been playing for a living, my liferoll has not grow at a very fast pace. If I am mearly breaking even my ROR in 100%. Common advice I have read on 2+2 is that I should have at least 6 months living expenses + a separate poker bankroll. So for me to be comfortably rolled for nl games up to 3/5 I should have about 20k. Obviously I am not there but I am working towards it. That is why I really need to be putting in 160 hr months, those extra 40 or so hrs of winnings would all go towards building my liferoll.
I am glad you brought it up, it highlights that winning at the tables is only half the equation, monitoring expenses is the other half of the game. Money saved is the same as money earned.
