Maybe someone already said this, but I can't imagine why you would play 2 years of losing poker online. I hate it when I have a losing week, let alone 2 years, wtf..

I didn't lose *that* much. Since I play pretty LAG, I tend to be very streaky. I've probably made only 5 or 6 deposits in that time. Plus I think I've shown flashes of talent, which contributes to my belief that if I study the game and take it seriously, I can be a winner.

I can't believe this thread has gone so long without anyone mentioning that 3000 hands is meaningless.

I don't think I need 30,000 hands to know that I'm making mistakes.

The idea of creating an account and posting updates to 2+2 and stuff is a bit of a "gimmick," in that I expect to get more chuckles and snarky retorts than anything, but it's also a motivational tool. The background, bet, and updates are all 100% real.

I don't think ING Direct pays 25,000% interest.

And while it may take 300,000 hands to establish a winrate (or a lose-rate for that matter), it only takes one to establish that I need improvement. (Besides, things like VP$P converge very quickly, and I know mine is too high.)

i love people who concoct elaborate theories to account for their own cluelessness. also, people who think that common sense is enough to get them through any situation that comes their way. good luck.

I agree with this, but I don't see how it applies to the OP. The OP is being pretty honest about his own donkishness which is more than I can say for the majority of 2+2.
