The Simpliest way to increase winrate are to do what most rec players don't do.
#1 Value bet more You should be value betting majority of all your hands that have value and recognizing when the river card doesn't change anything.
#2 Fast play your decent hands Stop going for that good ol check raise when you are monster or hit your draw on the river.
#3 c-bet You should be c-betting nearly 100% of all flops when heads up and 60% - 80% of all flops 3-4 way
#4 utilize scare cards When you are on a draw and V knows you are on a draw and V is betting to protect his TPGK hand and the perfect scare card hits (whether it makes a 4 card straight, flush, or is an Ace or King) and villain freezes, BET!!!!
#5 Bet/fold and raise/fold lines Bet/folding is one of the most powerful plays you can do and is seriously under utilized in LLSNL.
#6 Recognizing Potential Overbet situations Whenever you read villain for having a relatively strong hand when you are monster (i.e. villain has trips when you have a full house) you should SHOVE! Doesn't matter how big the pot is, V's don't know how to fold relatively strong hands.
#7 Stop with the Hero Calls Villains rarely if ever bet big on river with nothing. Making those Ace high or bottom pair hero calls vs villains that haven't been bluffing or villains that are not known for bluffing is not profitable.
#8 Stop stacking off for 200bb+ with just an overpair AA and KK are not bullet proof. If you are super deep with AA and KK, raise pre and get called by two villains and face a raise on the turn on a dry board, odds are you are up against 2p+

And one of the most important things you can do
#9 STFU and play You aren't near as clever as you think you are. Talking lets your ego run free and will cost you so much money, money that you aren't even aware you are burning up with your mouth... It will give thinking players an incredible edge against you. Trust me, you are better served just keeping your mouth shut
