Actually BR is at $530.
Many thanks to the FTR folks. I owe it all to y'all even though you can be brutal at times.
Any comments to these stats are definitely welcome.
Getting closer to 25NL.

Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

Anything specific you found helped change your game in your last ~10k hands?

Among other things, I'm sure, raising more pre-flop = suxxxess?

Yeah I can visually see a few things he changed but was hoping he'd give some insight.

Several things
1) Stealing more
2) Being agressive not only pf but all streets. Previously I would be agressive pf then make a cbet. If they called a cbet I would get money scared and check turn and river, even with very strong hands.
3) Not playing money scared.
4) Bluffing more
5) Opening with a wider range and not playing OOP so much. Amazing how many pots you can take down opening UTG with small pp or SC (9T+) or with air on a tight table.
6) Not falling in love with my hand
7) Stopped using a PF hand chart
I essentially started doing what was suggested after being forced to drop back down to 5NL and posting stats in another post.

How many tables you doing sas? Cuz if you're only doing 2-4 I don't think your non-showdown winnings should be as low as they are. Right now you should be focusing on learning the game and whatnot, so I think 6 tables should be the norm. Look for more spots to take down a limped pot with no action when you're in position. If you can get your non-showdown winnings even close to even you will be winning that much more.
BTW Nice work dude Keep it up!

This is something I looked at too because I'm working on this in my game. I think he's doing very well. From his graph, it looks like 2/3 of his non showdown winnings(lost) are in the first 14m hands. Marked improvement in the second 14m hands. Good job, keep it up.

If you're learning the game, I think more like 2 tables should be the norm.
