So as I've pointed out in my previous blog entries, I started out playing micro cash the last few weeks after having played SNGs for a few months. I feel I'm still definetely not a good player in any respect, I learn more and more every day either from watching others play, reading LP or just playing my own hands.
So I played NL2 even though I was well rolled for NL5 (Arguably NL10) just to start getting the feel of 6max cashgames and grinded out $30 there in 2 days or something easy (I usually only play 4 tables and only play 2hr sessions, but usually 2-3 sessions a day).
After moving up to NL5 I was feeling confident after making 3 buy-ins at NL5 in my first session (sitting with $5, not $10). After that session things changed drastically, was veryyyyy swingy, pretty much broke even for a few days, took some ridiculous beats like these;

Anyway I definetely played bad for a few days hence the swingy graph, I was pretty down over losing so many buy-ins so quickly, but then I took 2 days off and came back completely refreshed and confident and played to the best of my abilities, and while it was still swingy, I was happy with how I played. I won some pretty nice pots like these;

Anyway posting this graph is kinda tough for me, I hate looking bad  It's extremely swingy and I really think I can be a very good player because I'm so hard on myself, I can really relate to kimseongchan's blog found here - http://kimseongchan.liquidpoker.net/
Anyway here is my graph, shoutouts to Ftrunkz for being a balla and driving me to the local freerolls, lachlan_fearn for keeping me sane throughout my 3am 4buyin losses, KeanuReaver for staking me for 10x 4/180s and any other micro stakes players on LP
edit: Any input on this hand would be really good, was fairly sure he was on the flushdraw but couldn't get him off it, is he just a nl25 donk that can't let go of a draw? In retrospect I would have normally raised to $2.20 on the turn I think
