So, I've been playing poker for about 1.5 years now and i switched to cash about 5 months ago. I'm trying to move my way up to 2knl(the highest stakes on the site I play on).

Well, I like looking my graph so much that it's pretty worrying . Gonna post weekly graphs logging my one week results from now on to keep me motivated and I kind of like bragging xD. Anyway here is this weeks graph (monday-sunday).https://gyazo.com/13b129bae7ff879452e5811f04662472. And this is my overall https://gyazo.com/dad48fdace2c3df54b2af3b4eeb2d1ef. Going to be taking a shot back at 2/4 / 3/6 again this week since I moved down to build confidence.

Okay, I'm posting way too much but last thing I want to say this week. Here's my plan for moving up to 2knl. Win 10k at 200nl before I move up to 400nl/600nl, Win 20k at 400nl/600nl before I move to 1knl and win 30k at 1knl before I start playing 2knl. So far I'm +8k/10k for 200nl, 3.5k/20k for 400/600nl and 1.3k/30k for 1knl. Down 500 for 2knl as a side note. Until next sunday . <3. I also want to win 200k by the end of the year. It's going to be hard but I think I can make it. so far 13k/200k for my total goal. I might degen some 2kplo though .

I think I played this poorly and after running a pio simulation with monkersolver gto preflop ranges, I came to this conclusion.

problem is that on 3 flush boards, action is typically very very passive. I think a good strategy on this board is to check call 100% of ur range and cbet 0 %
the theoretical solution is to bet 20% of your hands on this flop being a super mixture of a variety of hands
because we are human i believe we should opt for a 100% check strategy simply because it is simpler to play and hard for people to deal with. It is also more consistent.
after checking however we should not be check raising at all
On the turn, after we check call in this situation, it is check call 100% of range without raising. On the river, the strategy is to check call hands like medium strength flushes top pairs with heart blockers, check shove for value nut flushes and boats and bluffs which include top 2 pair and hands like 86s
