1. Its quite likely that you've read and know 'the basics', however, I wager that if you were applying the knowledge your stats would not be 21/7.

2. Having reread your original post, it sounds like your saying "I lost at 2nl, so I moved up. Then I lost at 5nl so I moved up. Now I'm losing at 10nl. Thankgod for rakeback or I'd be totally broke".

Maybe you know what to do already, that being what everyone has said in this thread. In which case go do that. You don't need to take your thinking to the next level if your not even applying the basic concepts of a ABC poker strategy. This isn't complicated, its a simple strategy that's been completely spelled out in the digest. Apply it and you'll start winning once you've done it for 20,000 hands or so. Post hand histories so better players can make sure your applying g it correctly.

You think you're not that bad? My first year in poker I built up 100$ to nearly $2000 and I can tell you I really wasn't much good. I just applied the basics.
