While doing it this way certainly leads to me making fewer truly bad plays than I once did, it doesn't really lead to a great hourly rate.

I have never really thought of it in those terms however. If I get to spend 5 hours handicapping an entire card, and I walk away from the day up $5, I consider it a great day.
Me too.
