This is probably the one thing I've figured out. Poker has a very big role in my life. It has essentially replaced most time wasting recreation activities for me (such as watching TV).

I don't feel like a failure or anything. If I didn't have other commitments, it would have been easy for me to reach my hands played goal, but my job kind of got in the way. Until poker becomes more profitable than employment, my job will have to take first priority. Even at $50/hr (which is about what I make three tabling), my job is more profitable, so poker must take a back seat.

Anyway, thanks for the sentiment.
