Agreed, IMHO if you break even you're doing a hell of a lot better than 90% of poker players out there.
Most poker players are doing it because they like the game, and they don't intend to get any money back out of it. Just like the majority of people walking onto the golf course on a weekend has no intention of getting back their greens fee or the cost of their clubs.
As a poker player, golfer, or anyone with any hobby, the ability to regain your investment is normally all it takes. The occasional win taking you above-even is usually all it takes to put you in a great mood. I'm sure having $1M sat on the table, the game is no longer fun as it sounds like extremely hard work.
