Ok, so I am playing 100NL right now and after over 100k hands my win rate is 1.39BB/100 hands. If I continue on my current pace in about 2-3 months I will be bankrolled for 200NL which for me means a bankroll of 8-10k. However, at this point I think that even with a sufficient bankroll it would be a mistake for me to move to 200NL until I can fix some leaks in my game. I feel that much of the profit I get at 100NL comes from seeking tables with maniacs. I usually multi-table (4-7 tables) and always look to play at tables with at least one player who has a VPIP of 35% and try to target these folks. I think it will be tougher to find such players at 200NL and above. Below are some of my own reflections on my play. I am looking for some advice here. Wanted to post my stats but I guess I have to post 10 times before I can do that and this is post number one for me.

Here are some questions I ask myself:
1. What are the best software tools to use for evaluation of turn and river play? I have trouble translating my turn/river aggression factor numbers into identifying my turn and river leaks.
Turn AF=1.8, River AF=2.2
2. Is my pre-flop play in the CO and Button too loose?
Overall, I am 19/12 but on the CO I am 29/23 and on the button I am 33/25.
3. Am I continuation betting the flop too little or too much? (Cbet 43%)
4. Am I not 3-betting enough? (3bet=4%)
5. Am I stealing the blinds too much or too little? Attempt to steal (46%)
6. I know I fold to 3-bets too much (85%) but it just seems at 100NL that I run into too many 12/10s or tighter who don't raise unless they have it and do not pay me off when I play for implied odds and hit so I often fold to 3bets from these types of players. What is a good fold to 3-bet%?
7. Do I fold to flop c-bets too much? Fold to flop Cbet=54%

1. Try turning on a filter that says called river = yes or whatever and see your W$SD and whether you're +EV in those instances
If your W$SD is more than 35% and you're -EV when calling a river bet then maybe you should have folded more turns
2. I'd say 30-something/50-something attempt to steal is OK
3. Way too little, I cbet almost every time OOP (IP I check back some hands that I can show down)
4. Probably not a huge issue, but 3bing more vs. nitbots is profitable
5. That's OK
6. They can't both not pay you off when you hit and be unbluffable, but I'm not sure what the FR standard is for 3b fold
7. It depends, you can still be profitable and fold 60%
