Yes, yes, yes . . . it is worth it. We all get into the "dumps" when we have long stretches of skunks or few keepers. But, as experts on this forum have pointed out time and time again--and I take their advice to heart--perseverance is the key.
d2arcing,
My friend, great score! I will tell you honestly, yes it is worth it. Stick with it, through ups and downs and I believe you will do well. To top it off, I think for 99% of us do it for the thrill of finding those elusive keepers. If I wasn't doing this, I'd just be wasting time. This is a hobby that pays off almost every week.
Keep posting and I'll be looking forward to reading about that big score when it comes your way.
Best of luck!
