Great OP. Really interesting and well narrated/explained.

Reading some of the replies here, I'm thinking that getting away from the grind would be better for you in the long run. Maybe limit your poker playing to one quality live tournment here and there (like maybe an official WPT event or something like that) and do something else with the rest of your time.

Since you are a good poker player, grinding against a volume of mediocre players (live or online) is not effective. Good poker players are bad against mediocre players because mediocre players play erratically and unpredictably. And, I actually feel that good players are better off playing good players (or really poor players) because at least you can somewhat predict how those people play.

Me, if I could afford to, I would rather lose one high buy-in tourney against quality players than slowly lose that same amount of money over months and months against mediocre players while wasting tons of hours doing it.

Because if I lose to a good player, I'm totally ok with that because it's probably something that I could have done better. But, if I lose to some erratic mediocre player, it's really aggravating because you have no control over the situation and are just leaving things to luck.

And playing good players is fun and playing mediocre players is um...not.
