Yeah, replayer is ****ed. No idea what's going on. I looked at the Stars audit but ****'s just gibberish to me.

then not doing this a few times a week definitely is losing you considerable money.
There's no physical way for me to do this a few times a week. Something has to give at some point.

If you can grind 10 hours at 10bb that you are throwing around that's your entire savings goal weekly in one session
I don't think 10bb is possible in Australia with the rake. And to play any poker requires a bankroll which I really don't have at the moment.

all the people I know succeeding in poker with a job do more than 40 hours a week and go to the gym.
More than 40 hours a week at what? Their job? I guarantee you no one's working >40 hours a week in a highly physical job, playing meaningful poker volume, while training 6 times a week and eating 6k calories a day and sleeping 7 hours a night. Pls show me this list.

Push yourself harder, there are lots of hours left in a week when you o let work 40!
For people working a standard 9-5 desk job, of course there's plenty more hours in the week. A lot of people I know work their job then go straight to the casino for x hours each night.
For me, I get up at 3am, travel 30 minutes to work, lift ~3-4 tons of glass for 8 hours, travel 30 minutes home, work out, eat, and by that stage it's probably like 6pm. I go straight to bed so I can sleep for 7-8 hours before doing it all over again.
To put volume in on top of that would require probably 1.5 hour train trip to casino, grind for x hours, 1.5 hours to get back. If I had 30 hours in a day, I COULD maybe do this but I'd still only get like 3 hours of volume in.
The fact of the matter is, there's no conceivable way for me to play ANY volume during the week. There's 1 day where I could do a decent session but I think rest + couple hours for something of a social life is higher EV.

I want to see you succeed because you're young but you need to go for it. You don't stop training when you get tired do you?
I appreciate that mate. And it's not as though I'm giving it up, as I said earlier. I will be going for it like crazy when I get to Melbourne. I am heart set on playing 2.5k hours in 2018. But for me to realise this, I need a bankroll and I need to move out of Brisbane.
Current situation is not conducive to putting in much (if any) poker volume. Lack of bankroll and time in the week. It's not a cop out either afaics.
