Without a really massive amount of volume I am a consistent winner at sng's and mtt's over two years. I have had a foray into cash before in which I broke even with RB.
For some reason I wanted to start playing cash when they introduced 16nl, and here I am still trying at 6max.
At about 7k hands I realised I am calling raises + river bets much too often, and I also slightly tightened up my opens. I am still calling a bit too much I think, not sure why my red line is so ridiculously positive (being micros), I choose loose tables with high VPIP and big pots.

Running quite a bit below ev but I should be doing better than that obviously. My EV on all in preflop hands is kinda sick + disgusting but nobody wants to see that.
I don't know how to show rake/rb on the graph (its a lot) but again its something I should beat pre rb.
Goals
[ ] Get even
[ ] Get winning
Those goals are bad I know but, I would be lying if i said I didnt want to achieve them.
[ ] Have a positive blue line
[x] play 15k hands per month.
This is a low goal because I have quite a lot of uni work on atm.
[ ] Stop checking my cashier mid session!
[ ] Don't play the FR hhj 25nl and 50nl tables.

Thanks and appreciate any advice on my game or my goals.

I call too much, although I am not sure about this hand.
I felt like there really are not many kings in his range, his line didnt make any sense so being a fish i called. did NOT expect to see what I did.

I call short stacks in spots like that because... they don't have many chips ^^

I didnt cbet the flop because I was expecting a bunch of pp's to give me value on two streets..well, what do you guys think I think it was probably butchered.

    No hands really make sense for him to c/r here, but I don't see how I can be ahead often enough here vs a complete unknown. It could be a JT type hand but especially with full stacks and a caller behind me I think it had to be a fold. I didn't like it.
