Mostly 2/4.
Update:
I've played poker for four and a half year now. Mostly I've run good, and overall I've been lucky. I've taken a fair few shots at high stakes, I've made a lot of money and I'm really happy with how it all turned out. I've had good times, bad times and a lot of fun. I've had my downswings, my upswings and some tournament scores. I've had 3 +100k€ years in a row now, but the last 3 months I'm breakeven, or down a few K. Yea I've run like shit, and I've played pretty bad at times, but overall I feel that I haven't worked hard enough. I've spent time doing other shit that I've found more rewarding, and as a result my results have suffered. Everything we do have consequences, and I don't really regret anything. I could've done some shit different, but overall I'm ok with my choises and I'd probably do most of them again if I could.
I could say that I'll just work harder, that I'll get back as I always have, and truth be told I probably will, but until school is over for this semester I will take a step back. I don't know exactly how, and what guidelines I'll set for myself, but I'll figure that out. I'll cut back on tables, play lower, only when I feel like it and overall lower my goals considerably. I think the pressure I've put on myself, and the high standards I've had hurt me a bit.
From now on I'll play poker because it's fun. I'll probably never be able to live of it anyway and it's time I got my act together and focused on other things in my life. It's obviously good to have it as a side gig, but instead of aiming for 100k+ I'll be happy if I make a couple of K each month. Less variance, less stress, and more fun. That will be the way to go for me for a while.

I don't understand what you mean by "you probably won't be able to live off it" |

| I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |

I meant long term. I need to do something else at some point in life because 1. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make a living forever in poker and 2. It's not as fulfilling as it used to be. |
