FTR Made me improve my game and hate it at the same time.

This time, I'm making sure poker is a fun hobby. I didn't enjoy paying the bills with it, totally burned me out on the game. Now I'll play as long as I'm enjoying it.

As soon as I start stressing about results, have to force myself to play, get bored or frustrated with the game I'm done. If that means I can't get more than 10k hands/month then so be it.

That's exactly where I'm at. To get much more than 10k hands per month takes effort beyond which I am willing to exert and means at some point in the month I'll be playing when I can't arsed or am too tired or w/e at which point it's no longer fun.
