So I'm a 1/2 grinder but I play a lot of hands in position my swings are reLly crazy compared to a solid grinder in my room. My question is what are your swings like , it's not unusual for me to lose around 1.4 k in a week but I bounce back and I'm grinding out a 7$ /hr over 500 hrs . Also I avg 195 my winning sessions and -300 my losing sessions I usually play 3-4 hrs a day either way win or lose

For live, $7 per hour is less than 1/3 of what a solid 1/2 player is making. This is a small sample though. Post some hands and we can help

I've been playing a year and a half professionally and I've never lost 1.4 k in a week. ~$900 is my worst week. ~$750 is my second worst week. I play a pretty low variance style though. I don't have too many monster weeks either.....only one over $2 K.

Yea as my post says I wanted to know what your swings are like as a winning player I'm assuming with a higher win rate than me , so I can see how much I am spewing

You probably have a lot of smaller leaks that are costing you more than the "spew" you're worried about. As said above, make a thread about one hand that typifies the type of difficult decisions you have to make.
