Left is my graph for the year, right is my graph since school ended and I've been playing full time (start of may). I was basically breakeven (-13k) from January-May. You can't see it from the graph, but basically I had like ~5 5-figure scores out of maybe a total of 7 weekdays I played all semester, and I bricked 7 or 8 straight sundays to lose it all back, lol. Once I got back playing weekdays full-time I was able to fight some of the sunday variance and actually make up for sunday losses during the week. This has def been my sickest heater in terms of results/consistency, but not in terms of $$ (had a ridic week last august with my 3 biggest scores at the time all in the span of 6 days).

Appreciate to your candid answer Vekked and no doubt you've seen my other post re is it really worth it? Could you actually have made more profit if you had worked at a decent job for the same number of hours? I realize that as a young person still in school (and of that I'm jealous ) you would be somewhat limited as to potential income from a regular job. I'm more thinking of someone who is playing full time after they have completed their education or (shudder) dropped out to play online poker. I don't expect you to post it publically but as one of our more successful online players have you ever "ball parked" what your hourly has been since you started playing significant volume?

I'm about to post a bigger response in your other thread about this, but in short, I def couldn't have made near as much working a job. I have no idea what my true hourly rate is, but I would estimate it's somewhere between $100-$250/hour. I'll talk about the other stuff in the other post.

True or false for an MTTer:
Playing weekdays is a must for long term success.
Ive always been under the impression that those who only grind weekends are destined to go busto.

I'd say false, but you need a massive BR or need to grind a lot of the regular/non-major/smaller fields tournies on sundays in order to endure the swings. I mean obv you're still +EV on sundays but whereas weekdays you can have 1-2 months breakeven stretches, sundays you can have over a year, maybe more. So I guess it depends on how long-term you're looking :P

And probably most of these in the last 4 months... Must be a huge heater... Can it possibly last?
Vekked, without getting too detailed, are you up a lot this year? If you don't want to answer I could understand.
