But your list of advices is simply great.
No talent. Bankroll is the key (and mentioned player have bankroll to play up to $30+). Moving up, when beating EV after normal sample (1000+ games) and you can play 1K games less than 5 days at low-stakes.
IMO most players start overthinking at low stakes. They try balance, read hands, bluff too much etc. and not understanding the variance.
Grabbed random hands from these forums:
1.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18...3-sts-1355897/ <= spew, no need to make such plays. I would check-fold flop OOP
2.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18...tshot-1355446/ <= I would bet 30, and fold to a raise
3.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18...t-kjs-1354614/ <= I would flat PF or 3bet smaller. as played I would go for check-shive
4.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18...river-1354116/ <= bet t30, give up turn
5.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18...d-pot-1352653/ <= check-fold flop, bad flop and opponent betting big, another choise is check shove
etc. all of these hands are spew. building too large pots without any reason. maybe some of them are best lines, maybe not, but if you are beginner, do not go so deep thinking. play solid ABC, move up ASAP, and soon you will see better playes and then you can add some more trickier stuff, otherwise you will be loser.
Low-stakes isnt rocket science => just play super solid, not nitty but just dont try to be like high-stakes regular and you will see the results in very soon, if you are putting enough volume.
PS! And only concentrate EV, not winnings line (hide these lines, thickness zero)
