The rakeback promo I'm not sure on. On the one hand you're looking to move up to 50nl anyway...on the other it's very, very often a false economy where chasing the promotion costs the player more than they profit from the bonus. I think you should just do the same as you were doing, maybe be slightly more aggressive with shot taking. Sample size isn't huge but very likely you have an ok winrate at 25nl and below so worst comes to worst you can always re-load?

Thank you for your support, man. As I have another career and poker is mostly a hobby for me, I think a lot about having a much more conservative bankroll system. The ideal for me would be to play the entire month without looking to my results. So, yes, this is a point I think a lot about.
But on the other hand, I would love to play a little bit higher. I imagine I would be quite satisfied playing nl100 zoom and probably wouldn't want to go higher than that. If I have a winrate of 2.5bb/100 on nl100z playing 400 hands/hour, I would earn $10/hour on average - which is good money for a hobby, in my opinion. So, I'd love to move up as soon as possible.
About the rakeback promo: I understand what you're saying. It's tricky indeed. I'll talk more about it on my next update, but basically I'm trying to strike the middle point (ha-ha-ha) between these two possibilities.
About depositing again: I have another career, so I don't need the money from poker per se, but I don't want to lose all my bankroll and depositing hundreds of dolars again. So being disciplined with bankroll is important to me.

Hello! I'm sorry, I think I wasn't clear on what I meant. Let me clarify: I don't think 3bb/100 is a great winrate on nl25z. What I meant was I'm geting used to playing on nl25z. In other words, playing on this limit nowadays is not strange to me anymore - even though my winrate isn't great, as I said sometimes here on this journal.

For sure! I imagine that a really good/professional poker player would destroy these limits. I make a lot of mistakes and I'm studying everyday to get better. So, I definitely have a lot to improve for sure. Poker is very hard.

Have you paid for any softwares? Which ones?
What softwares are you using?
Hey, mate. Thank you for your words. Rake is very high for sure...
The only softwares I use (besides holdem manager, of course) are GTO+ and GTOwizard. I like to use Zenith's sims on GTO+, but I have my sims as well.
