I think overall I was playing pretty well, although bluffing stations a tad too much for my liking as well.
Currently struggling dealing with stations when I miss. OOP if I dont cbet they bet and I obv have to fold. IP if I dont cbet they lead into me on turn and I fold. Mmmmm, probably need to tighten up and play more broadway type hands and call down for value more often? Stop opening / isolating with tons of junky small sc type hands? See flop for cheap then build pot when I hit? Guess I'll keep experimenting.
I also suck when someone limps, folds to me in the bb, I have air and check, they take down pot on flop. Not sure if I should just let them have it, or whether I should be bluffin'... but honestly this isn't as big a deal to me as the station problem. I'm not even sure how I suck so hard vs 90/10's and 60/20's.
Anyways, here's the graph. Played from 4:30 am to 10am'ish with a break in between, then brain crashed and I slept from 11am -7pm then started watching SC with a friend so couldn't get an evening session in but w/e. Hopefully I'll wake up early again and get 4-5 hours in before noon tomorrow.

I think I always had these issues, but didn't really fully plug them there. As I put in more hands the fact that I have serious issues with these leaks has become more apparent, and now at this time I've realized that I really really do need to find solutions to these problems, as I am not making the most money possible against fish in my current state and am in fact often losing money to them.
This clearly isn't going to work in the long term, or even perhaps the short term. I don't know what the solutions are, but I imagine I will adjust my pf ranges according to how many players of what type are ahead of and behind me at any given table, and the history I have on that table.
edit: in short, I'm still looking for answers 
edit2: I think it didnt happen much in NL25 b/c I wasn't opening a ton from LP, but in NL50 and 100 I've learned to open / iso a fuckton from CO/BU so yea hence this problem has come up b/c the quality of my hands has dropped on average. |

One more area I need to work on is exploiting TAGgy regs' cbets and steals... There's a few approaches like c/r'ing, leading, floating... but I really havent had success with any of them at least so far. Best approach against a "steal"y open has been occasional lighter 3bets IP, but I really havent found anything that works particularly well and is +EV against cbets...
Seems like just getting INTO a situation where you might be able to bust a cbet takes 4bb's to be in, and it seems -EV to actively get into these spots OOP (ie blinds...). Maybe call more with small PP's, mid sc's (I tend to fold them like 50% of the time in the blinds b/c I feel like against I steal I dont get paid off enough to have enough implied odds to call), and when the board is really dry, try leading or c/r'ing... |

in your op most of your problems can be solved by paying attention to flop texture and stabbing at the pot when it is good. vs tags you can do whatever you like to bluff then just as long as you don't do it too often. C-r Ahigh boards is probably EV+ by itself. use your stats to figure out if they could have a wide range that has missed the flop |

i get too deep with a marginal hand trying to outplay those, probably not +ev for me
you have really nice insight here, i will definitely try to incorporate it into my game when moving up a limit |

just try to avoid situations where you're OOP vs station with marginal hands and suited conectors, playing small pp OOP is tricky too so be careful . Any broadway you should play with confidence knowing that you're way ahead of opponents range and just try to get 2-3 streets of value from TP |
