my rank is 9466 out of 244,695

please show me how it’s calcualted as I’d like to continue to calculate where I am as numbers change. Thanks!

Is poker a problem in my life?

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

I am 21 years old living in the USA. My favorite hobby is poker. I spend about 1-2 hours a day playing online poker and online I am break even player. I will deposit about $100 ever 2 months or so and play it down to nothing or untill I am satisfied enough to cash out a few hundred and play with the rest of my bankroll. More than online poker I love going to the casino. I usually go 10-15 times a year and have had a lot of success. I usually play in $100 tournaments or cash games. I won two tournaments back to back this year one for $2000 and one for $1000. Dont get me wrong I have losing sessions and usually lose anywhere from $100-$300 when I do lose.
I am in college and work a part time job and have parental support for college tuition. Over the past three years I have broke even with online and poker at the casino combined.

Do you think this is a problem in my life or just a fun hobby that I like to do. Open to contsructive critisim.
Thanks :)
