BR at $1936, not much to report, been playing pretty well this week. I am on the good side of variance right now... but I think as you move up variance will be much higher with the increased levels of aggression, causing a lot more marginal spots like the following hands.
Realize this is completely standard but IMO it's still marginal unless villain is calling AQ or 4B bluffing enough.

Got destroyed at 50NL... high point of BR @ $2300~ish. Moving down to 25NL for a while to iron out leaks in my game.
BR currently at $1667.

You know you've got a problem when you're a cash game player and you're rewards program bonuses are more than your cash game profits... bah. Good thing is I'm still up $1327. I have withdrawn $1,000 of it for now since I'll be playing 25NL, I'll probably start building a live roll with the money I earn playing 25NL since the games are so much softer live than online. Once I can beat 50NL of course I'll continue the journey of moving up online.
Even though I really really don't want to post these graphs I'm going to do it to hold myself accountable. A lot of this is tilt induced and has to do with the fact I struggle at 3/4/5 bet dynamics which is something that happens a lot above 25NL on WPN. I have not found one video or article that really explains these dynamics well which is very frustrating, so I have just been doing what I can to try and work on these spots using CardrunnersEV

I've been doing work with CardrunnersEV and think I've found a reasonable approach to counteract aggressive 3-betting. It seems to be working pretty well so far at 25NL.
I went ahead and spent a little bit of the BR and got a 2nd monitor as well:
Will update after I'm through 25NL again.
