I can really relate to your frustration since I have spent a lot of time playing live in Las Vegas and even more countless hours grinding online. I'm sure you took a lot away from this experience and at least you had a good time. Your closing in on the $300 mark for this post at least ;).
Angelo @theywillkillyou made me aware of this post of yours and it was a great read... He said that you might find the blog I just posted pretty interesting and maybe even helpful down the line: https://steemit.com/money/@world5list/being-a-winning-professional-poker-player-is-not-as-glamorous-as-it-sounds-my-8-year-experience
