I think you should start focusing more on how you play. Are you getting more comfortable in spots? Are the hands you feel aren't standard getting more and more complicated? Do you feel like you can answer most questions that come up on the forum in an in depth manner?

These are the things that will tell you if you're a better player, not your BB/100.

Yep, i just like stats, they pay my rent and give me some comfort in knowing i'm not a total donk, but u are right, they are not the most important.

I do feel my game is improving. After +200k hands of LHE I am now more comfy in many more situations and i do believe my theory knowledge to be quite good.
My biggest leaks may be on the psychological side of things :S

I am far from being a great player or having the best understanding of theory, but i do try to improve and study everyday, and the hours spent working on my game do bring dividends

This thread just helps me keep track of some things, and give news on how i'm running

Cool. How about a periodic update of concepts that you're working on or possible leaks you think you might have. We might be able to get some general discussion going about concepts you're unsure of or common situations that you're not sure you play right. Or even situations you think you DO play right. Sometimes those are the sneakiest leaks.

Update:

1/2: Closing in on 5k profit since i started playing this level. winrate down because of more multitabling and a bit of a downswing, but that's fine, i'm pretty much done with that level.

2/4: In the green again, after being down 1.3k
Totally confident at this level now, and with rakeback and table selection at FTP my wins should keep growing

3/6: Got my feet wet with some juicy games for $200 profit

propping: Doing good improving my HU/shorthanded play. Up $600 at the site since i started although i really dont log many hands for lack of games.

rakeback: $800+ in the past 15 days (not counting the propping site), not bad. It's really a great help psychologically and if i can average 1.5k/month, that's really +EV

building rolls: Done, rolled for 2/4 on all sites.

So things are looking good

aaaargh
why do i play at party???
switched back to FTP and made $300 back in no time
table selection makes the difference, being able to sit w the LPs to your right and a couple nits to your left is HEAVEN
At party, u cant even switch seats!!! and cant table select without external software...

So...

what to say...

I guess i'll start a new thread now that i've moved up to 2/4 and 3/6

Things are going ok, nothing awsome, but making money

I'm quite confident i'll be playing exclusively 3/6 and up pretty soon. There is absolutely no difference between 2/4 and 3/6. Same players, same fish, similar BR (and i'm overrolled)

So i'm back to break even at 2/4 after that -1k tilt moment, and up about 400 at 3/6 over a small sample.
I'm also getting my 2/4 FR stats back in order.
I guess i'm a stat maniac, but i want all levels to be green (what a nice color)

Made 500$ today in a couple of sessions (mainly FR) and hopefully i can start aspiring to 5digit months

Oh, did I ever mention Rakeback is the nuts? No?

RAKEBACK IS THE NUTS!

i'm starting to get sick listening to the prospect of a 5 digit month. but, obv, way to go!!

do you find 6max or FR more profitable above 1/2? obv, they are different, but are there enough non-nitty stations at 2/4 or 3/6 to still make the avg. pots bigger? and, if so, does that offset the rb difference of fewer hands? or, do you just open more tables of FR to make up for the hands/hr difference?

6max is a lot easier at 1/2. The regs higher up are much better. Still, there are plenty of fish to look for.

FR, i find easier at 2/4 and 3/6.
I find lots of nitty tables at FR but weak tight. Those players have never played 6max for the most part, and really suck in late pos steals, resteals, defense, bvb...
So easy to steal blinds its a crime not to...
Aggression works marvels (2barrelling, semibluff raising, FSD plays...) since they fold way too much.
Careful if they go aggro, they got a big hand though...

Basically I play very nitty in EP, and open wide in LP (playing my normal 6max game if folded to me 3off the button or later).
I never openlimp, but overlimp quite wide if 2+ limpers already in.
And I see as many flops as i can from sb and bb if the price is right. I complete any2 on sb if 2+ limpers on unraised pots.

BTW... the 5digit months are still very very faaaaar away... I was just dreaming awake
