In 9 days I went from $410 to $1070 + like $50 equivalent in RB while taking a NL25 shot at 30BI - by running hot, watching a vid before each session and especially applying brutal table selection techniques at 4 tables.
Table Selection
I set myself a goal of having a strong catalyst at the table or at least a very aggressive player/reg to my right who gives me IP action, and the results are WAY different from 9 tabling random free tables.
Graph so far since re-thinking my approach

Shots in the past
When I took a successful shot last time to NL50 I did it with 20BI. I know I could do the same this time and that I would be at 80% successful unless I'd hit a cold deck (I still consider NL50 my regular limit, and I think I am in a shape to beat it at 6bb/100 as I did for about 60k hands before I started working and having the hypertilts issues, which I have tamed for 9 days now.)
Lesson learned
But I will not do it.
I set myself a very cast in stone 30BI rule. I believe that this will train my discipline and make me think less about higher limit and let me focus on my play, hand by hand.
I am also still prone to tilts as my working hours are getting longer and longer, as my stress levels and tiredness are quite high, and I need to go through at least 60k hands and at least one decent downswing where I spew only couple BIs and don't stop thinking about all my plays before I can start taking focus off my tilt issues.
Plan
I will stay at NL25 until I reach $1500.
13K FPP to go to my $800 bonus, and when I get it by the end of the month I will be seriously over rolled for NL50 when I move there, which can't be bad if I don't start spewing around as I will have 40BI again.
View on NL25
I found the limit much harder to own to its core for me than NL10. At NL25 people start first experimenting with aggressive bets and play, but they do it in such random ways its unbelievable. At NL50 there comes logic at least into the aggression of regs to a certain level. But at NL25 its sick how weird hands people showdown with. I was actually bluffing way more at NL10 than I do at NL25, because you never know who will try to discover the raise option with completely illogical hands.
I think almost any good player can run at 10BB/100 long term at NL10 as people play so straight forward, but NL25 is best beat by simple solid style, and I doubt it can fetch more than 7BB/100 for the best players.

Raise or Bet is aggression and as they use it way more that at NL10 I cal it experimenting. |

nl25 is still filled with fish who don't know how to play properly, so what you may perceive as aggression may actually just be fish not knowing what the right play is |

But the point is that aggrofish are still harder to play against than predictable passive calling stations. The fish get more aggressive as you move up in stakes in part because the bad aggressive fish still win sometimes, while the bad passive fish just bleed their money. |

ur comin along alright, just keep grinding, nl25 is abc, same as nl10, dont bluff before nl50 since nobody knows how to fold. mb hard for u since ur so laggish at times
your table selection and ideals are good though, and graphs lookin nice.
keep it up gl,
