Generally I don't care that much. If anything I'd be curious about where my $60s was at, I'm not established there and haven't developed full confidence so it would be nice to see. If my redline was a loser over 20k games I might have to re-evaluate. Redline for the $60s is broken though, here's my $30s so far:

Word. Yesterday I had a number of spots I was unsure of, but the simple act of saving the hand and knowing I would study it later gave me peace of mind. The worst is when I get lazy and don't even save a hand I'm unsure of. That's when I know my brain is broken.

Relative to my stakes I think I'm one of the better regs. I'd be super sad if I knew regs were joining my games because they know how to take advantage of me multiple different ways. I'm sure there are aspects of my game that better regs are exploiting, but one of my hobbies is to make sure regs earn as little as possible off of me. I'm still on an adjustment period, the regs at the $60s don't allow me to get away with much.
At the $15s there were guys who made more/hr or had a better general poker sense but I was definitely one of the best, but it's kind of a best of the worst situation so it isn't something I hang my hat on, but the diamond star is neat. There were just always so many fish and most of the regs weren't extremely strong players otherwise they probably would have moved up. Looking back I must have scared a few players who should have moved up into sticking to the $15s.
I'd probably be ****ting my pants in a $100 with 6 regs a few years ago lol. Now though I'd feel pretty good in a 2-3 fish game, probably only half of the regs at best would have had an air tight game, the others probably have some slight leaks that would give me confidence.

If yes, are you feeling confident about your game while playing in these tougher games?
Thanks bud. I'm still embarrassed about some of the hands I played vs you a few months ago, I was experimenting with a few things in my game lol. I am feeling quite confident, I've played around 50k of these so I know the game. I'm a bit discouraged with my start, but it's a lot more likely that the games get easier than more difficult. I was guilty of painting a lot of regs with the same brush early on, but yesterday I had tons of focus and it opened my eyes to a lot of exciting things.

Going to go for 8 hours today, I have to be way more efficient with my breaks so I have time to live a bit of a life. With about 2 days off for the rest of the month I can alternate 7-8 hours each day I will get 200 hours in. I picked such a bad time in my life to eat at a deficit, hating life quite a lot right now.
Thanks so much for all the posts and kind words guys, this thread is making this month a lot more enjoyable for me.
