Playing on the few remaining U.S. facing sites makes it very obvious  that "Game Selection" as Aces2w1n mentions is a large part of your  expected win rate. The micros there are filled with regulars and you'll  frequently see tables with literally 0 to 7% flop action.

One of  the toughest skills to develop is analyzing your skill compared to  others at the table. To paraphrase one of the poker books "If you're the  9th best player in the world sitting with the top 8 players, you're  still -EV at the game."

Don't think of yourself as a bad or good  player, think of yourself as having skills somewhere on a scale compared  to the other players at the table. Your EV on any table varies  depending on the other players. It's just hard to gauge your skill.

You should also consider how many hours/hands rather than years played. I've played and studied for over 2 years, but only get to play a few hours per week, so compared to any grinder I've actually got about 1 month's experience.

And  if you like tournaments, there are people who grind tournaments for a  living. Check out some of the results on officialpokerrankings.com.

Have fun and good luck.
