All I'm saying, Mr. Gild, is that we need more of this:

You don't suck by the standard that you are better than the average poker player. You lose less than the rake. But the chance you are +EV after rake over the last million hands is so ridiculously close to zero I am just going to call it zero. If I had to guess, I would say you play way too many tables. Cut your tables in half for 100k hands and see what the results are. (How many tables do you play? How many were you playing for the first 200-400K hands? I am guessing you are playing a ton if you made it to SN elite, if not, change cut down number of tables to do something other than play poker 20 hours a day. That is also a good suggestion: cap the amount you play to say no more than two sessions a day, with a session being no more than say 90 minutes).
In response to any "I would get so bored only playing X tables" I off this counter argument: "There are a hell of a lot more exciting ways to blow through money than playing 2X tables."
