That is very surprising to me...I'd figure you had made more since you are playing higher stakes, 6-max(which apparently is gold), and better than me.

As for my answer...Just under 100k.
1) 500 BB downswing at 30/60 and 15/30 at end of last year

+

2) lack of hands first 6 months of this year

+

3) 4 consecutive losing weeks in august

+

4) Switching to NL, causing me to slum it a little, including 21 buyin downswing at 200 NL last weekend (which i was over 100k before that happened)

+

Most importantly:
5) I'm still in school, I graduate in December, unlike you where its been over a year. 16 hours in spring, 6 in summer, and 18 in this fall, really disables my ability to focus remain a constant schedule, and play my share of hands.

I've got no excuses, most of the past 2 months have been bad play and some variance. If you add up my June and July (where I had no school, for the most part), they equate to 1/2 of my yearly income. Also, I've sacrificed making money this year for the most part for the intent of increasing my skill level. Such as, I can kill the 100 NL tablings 6-8 tabling more than I can beat the 200 NL games at this time. But really, that doesn't do me any good and I have the BR so I might as well stick it out until I eventually crush the 200 NL games. I can't have this attitude once I graduate as then I will be forced to make as much as possible with little risk. Which means not moving up limits as fast as I could be.
