2NL Graph - thoughts?

(could someone embed. I don't have enough posts yet)

Do you think it would be possible to get my non showdown to break even?

I've been working hard to try and improve my game lately and will be posting a lot of hand histories for anaylsis on this forum in the coming weeks.

You can perhaps get it LEVEL, but I dont know if you would have it climb to B/E, that would be tough.
Just concentrate on value betting and getting it in right.

To keep the redline as level as possible, dont call raises just to fold the next street.
At 5nl (depending on the site perhaps) you can get it pretty level if you play a lot of pots against loose passives who limp/call pre then fold postflop.

Losing blind money is a big factor in negative redlines, and depending on the level of your opponents...it is very difficult to win enough back to compensate this.

Against really weak players though, its very possible to get positive redlines for the reasons vinland said.

Filter the red line without the VPIP from the blinds and it should be better. But this isn't something I would be obsessing over as long as you're winning at a decent bb/100.

I wouldn't even consider trying to get a positive redline at 2nl. The only way to do this is to make people fold. Considering the fact that almost everyone is a calling station at 2nl you have to realize that they're never gonna fold. Exploit this by increasing your blue line.

You may be able to reduce your redline losses by making sure you're sitting at tables where you have nits on your left and fish/whales on your right. The bottom line here is your green line, which looks fine so don't trip.

Here's what it looks like without the blinds:

On holdem manager what hud options do you use when playing at the table. like vpip/pfr/ etc.

and what stats in HEM should I post here to find any leaks?

when I played 2nl I only used vpip pfr and hands I didnt need more than that. now at 10 I use same as stargrinder addin cbet and turn cbet ive found these to be well useful vs regs. I think its kind of a personal thing think what you would do if you had certain info, if then you think you could make the dollaz using that info get it on your HUD. most of the stats would clutter things up for me and I wouldnt know how to optimaly use the info anyway.

There are many weak tight players out there... but in general, don't try to make people fold, 'specially at uNL. Focusing on the red line is counter-productive.

You'll find many varying opinions, but I find less is more. My HUD is VPIP / PFR / Steal % / PF3Bet / Hands.

I like fold to 3bet on top of these, but not sure how valuable that really is at 2nl.
