Hello Y'all this is my first post,

So, I just started playing poker about 6 months ago and I'm currently down quite a bit. I've been reading loss of books and watching as many videos as I can to figure out what was wrong with my play. To be completely honest after reviewing my stats and my graphs one thing that kind of stuck out to me is that I tended to win a lot of non-showdown money and lose a lot of showdown money. To investigate this, I put my hands into hand2note and investigated where I was losing the most money and I figured out that I was losing a lot of money when I was check calling down 3 streets, and contrary to what I thought I generally wasn't loosing most of my money to being over aggressive(except against calling stations, who I tended to get very tilted against and spew). I had normally played on Bet Online 10NL zoom, and occasionally ACR for the harder competition.

Recently though I started playing on Ignition and in zoom games I've been employing a Tag style of play from EP-CO and playing my normal ranges on the button. I've Been 3-Betting My normal Range around 10% of hands-on average. Post flop I've employed a completely straight forward strategy, checking with my week draws and middling hands, betting with my strong draws and my value hands. One of the biggest things though that I think has improved my results is to stop bluff catching river, which I used to do way too often. Honestly, I might just be running good as my sample has been super small so far but over the last 6k hands or so I've been up around 8 buy ins
