Well guys, after my last blog, I've pretty much completely fucked myself over. I'm back at NL2 after playing bad and imo, running worse. Mostly playing bad.
Really though, I think it's important that this happened. I would also wanna thank Fudyann for something that helped alot. I was sweating him and made a comment about a AJo hand he played where the board sort of bricked maybe 7 high, and the limper donk bet into him about 3/4 pot and he folded. I said something like "tough spot" and he was like "wtf no, not a tough spot. we dont even beat AK there" or something to that effect. Anyways, it wasn't profound or anything, it just made me sort of realize I've been effing around too much and definitely incorporating wayyyyyyyyyy too much fancy play syndrome into my play. I need to stop floating and trying to push people off pots just because they limped.. or some dumb reason like that.
I'm embarrassed to still be at NL2 after all this time, but I'm glad that people are commenting on my HH and for advice/encouragement on the site. I really think I'm this close to wrapping up my "major" leaks and will hopefully be a NL10 player soon. I don't think I'm THAT bad and it's just frustrating. It's doubly embarrassing when I see players like Lemon who moved up so quickly in the time I've pretty much been doing nothing.
Anyways, I played 1389 hands today 4 tabling and ended up losing 1.22... which imo is much better than me 80$ in the same amount of hands because I spewed horribly and ran bad. Currently about 6-7 buyins below my all in EV, but I know that luck < skill in poker and that today I played well. When I got it in I was way ahead and you can see some of those hands in my HH.
Overall I am hopeful and determined to move back up although at the same time, scared that maybe it'll never be. Guess I'll have to grind a bit more and see.
Today... graphs and stats
+ Show Spoiler +
Overall stuff
+ Show Spoiler +
Really I think I was just playing an aggressive style and hitting cards + getting paid off.. and when cards started not hitting I kept pushing it. Clearly I need to cool it a bit.
Anyways, I hope whoever is reading this is rooting for me to be a better player through LP.
In general what do you guys think? Time to quit? Still have a chance? Did successful players ever take this long to move up? T.T... hand quantity wise I know it's not alot.. but the amount of time I spent playing these hands was pretty long since I kept taking on and off breaks from poker. I dont know. Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed the blog. Like I said, I feel like I'm this close to figuring it out. And thank god for rakeback + FTP's 100 dollar bonus thing.. otherwise my BR would be looking pretty thin (hint: it is!)

Just play ABC poker man, straighforward and no fancy play, it's the only way till 100NL i think, maybe even further...I've been alot of times in the spot u're in right now, just dont give up dude! You'll get there eventually, the purpose of 2 and 10 NL is to get a feeling with the game, once you got it you'll be a balla in no time |

ur stats look fairly solid but tbh u might be better off just tightening up since it will remove a lot of marginal spots and these are probably where you are leaking money |
