What's your ROI?

Really fair comment. Appreciate it.

I never actually calculated my ROI... - I do keep track of my costs and gains (all games I play - pretty accurately on a spreadsheet) so just calculated it now - it is 1.29 never paid any attention to it.

Basically I consider that I play for fun. I do play a lot - but did not invest proper time in reading enough about poker, nor do I have a HUD. I think that I play I decent game, and since I play (apx 5 years) every year I am ahead. That is my original "purpose" to have fun - at no cost - but with some gain - is on track.

I guess as time passes - a few things are changing, although overall I am on the plus side of the game - I really WANT MORE NOW.
Also I find that I am somewhat less patient less tolerant of CONTINUOUS bad beats.
1,2,3,4 consecutive bad beats do not put me in a "bad mood" - really shake them off easily for the most part, except the real ridiculous ones, but when the streak of loss /bad beats HANDS (not games) becomes very long - yea I get "depressed" I guess.

Is all this "normal"?

I suppose - I should invest some time and read a bit more...
