So poker has gone not awful, but definitely not what i wanted it to be. My winrate is like 1.6 pt bb, I want it to be around 2.5 at least (its hard for me to have a good winrate trying to play as much as I want to play). So I was looking at graphs and noticed that my red line is super bad. I know why too, back 18 months ago it was so easy to have a good idea when players were check raising light and 3 betting light. They did it on bad flop textures and it was pretty easy to know when to rebluff or call down.
Now, poker is so much harder. I dont know what to do. I dont even like playing anymore. I am done with poker as of next summer by the latest. I think for the time being I am going to try to 2 and 3 barrel more often with a different bet sizing line of 4xbb preflop, 8xbb flop, 22xbb turn, shove river. I think bigger bet sizing will get more folds by the 2nd barrel(at least at 200 nl).
Here are my red line graphs from 18 months ago and from present.

asking your coach about some of these ideas might not be a bad idea

it has nothing to do with betting bigger, you are simply playing straight standard uncreative easy to read poker so you will beat it by small win ratios.
I can coach you if you are interested PM me. |

You play extremely passive to the point of being bad.
200nl definitely isn't hard  |

First graph is present right?
A coach can really help you, just pick a good experienced solid winner. |

I have the same problem, i play straightforward poker without creative lines i beat the limit around 2bb/100, but i don't plan getting a coach, because after few hours i get tired and playing "creative" poker becomes very hard and mentally wearing. For now i am happy with what i make playing a lot and getting a good rake back. But as for the future, getting a coach is a must, because i am planning to get a job and i will only have few hours of poker a day, that's when i will try to play higher stakes but less hours and with autopilot off.
Basically if you want to be the limit and move up you have to cut tables to 6 or even less and play very concentrated+ thinking about every situation and that's when the creative lines will come.
Why will you quit poker? have you found a better way to make money?

firing more barrels is not the issue at hand. |

Because he doesn't enjoy it. Anybody who thinks that making money comes before enjoying the time you spend in life really needs some perspective. |
