Well, I'm really enjoying myself up a limit. It's nice to be somewhere other than the very bottom. I feel like the play is almost exactly the same, my play certainly hasn't changed much except that I find myself calling down people who are spewing chips rather than reraising into them as well as folding to river shoves a bit more. Both of these things should probably hurt NonSD Winnings and help my SD winnings, but I've either been misplaying hands or been unlucky for two-three buyins worth of EV.
The only things that really changed were AF, which I think I might have too small a sample for (or it's actually gone down, I feel a bit more passive and I think it's helped), and fold to 3bet, which is good because I fear I was paying people off too much.
I feel like with a shift from unlucky to averagely lucky I can beat these games rather nicely, I just need to grind it out until then.
I started .02/.05 at ~10K, putting me up about half a buyin. The graph is really confusing to me because the red line is steeper than usual toward the end even though I've been more passive, I guess I've been getting enough in on the flop and turn and hitting something decent on the river and they've folded it.
Comments, criticisms, and replies in general are all read and considered, as a poker player just starting out I really like all of the input I can get.

i am 0_0 that your without showdown > your showdown at microstakes, that is either insanely strange luck or you may be playing too strongly.
basically, the vast majority of players here call too often and the correct adjustment should be to wait for strong hands, bet them and make money that way. |

Yeah, I agree that it's weird, but my cbets are usually 3/4pot-pot sized and I rarely show down with worse hands, I'm pretty sure it's variance on the big hands I hit where I get coolered + an unusual amount of folding on the river by my opponents. |

passive is NOT a good trait in poker,
u shud have massive AF since u shud be nitting it up and so u get attached to ur AA postflop too |

Well I mean I'm not getting "passive", I'm just taking certain spots where I used to overplay hands and reining them in a bit. |
