A better is
It possible that I am a winning player who is running badly enough to be down $327 (basically break even) over 700 hours?
Or if I am a winning player, is there no possible way that I could have broken even over such a long stretch?
700 hours is a pretty big sample. If you're still BE and there's no pattern month to month of improving, it's likely that you're not a big winner.
A few quick questions: What's the buyin and rake/time structure of your game? If you're playing a short game with a large rake or drop it may be extremely difficult to impossible to win.
Do you have an online poker background? What levels did you play? If you were beating a certain limit, we can estimate your skill level.
If you're that serious, I seriously recommend checking out Bart Hanson's stuff. CrushLivePoker and Deuce Plays Premium. I don't want to become a shill and I"m not associated with him in any way, but for $9 a month each those made me such a better poker player b/c there's not a lot of good live training out there.
I hope you're not saying you play 30 hours straight with no sleep. I'm the biggest proponent of long sessions in the world, but there's no way after 18+ hours straight poker your game isn't going to suffer. I can't imagine how horrible my NL game would be after 30 hours. If you get rooms comped, take breaks. If there's no hotel, I honestly think playing more reasonable sessions would improve your win rate.
