Wow you have like the perfect attributes for a grinder. I know I'm obv still a microstakes busto fish but when I was playing your stakes i had decent-ish winrates so if you need any help give me a PM. Again I feel gay saying this because players like corsakh have offered but yeah just letting you know.

Edit: wow didn't realise this winrate was 2.91 how does that equate to such a sick low profit. If I was you I would definately deposit some money to consistently be able to play 10nl or 25nl, they're perfect games for developing your game imo.

Also OP, there's no difference between 25nl and 10nl imo. Like obv its going to be SLIGHTLY harder, but that's only because there's a slightly higher amount of regs who will start 3betting you etc, but as long as you table select its cake.

This might be the sickest graph I've seen yet.

You're perseverance is noble but...UR DOIN IT WRONG.

Accept the coaching that was offered. And take the time to analyze some of your play.

Do you ever regret that at 135k hands, you could have gone to a $600NL table and wound up with the same bankroll you have now instead of playing 125k more hands and piddling it away cent by cent? Would have been much more fun imo

You live by your parents I assume?

Otherwise it would be pretty impressive for you to live 76 days from 16 dollars.

Seriously, it's not. You clearly have determination needed to be a grinder. Moving up to 10NL or 25NL should be no problem and with a decent deposit you can play there comfortably. Grinding 2NL for the next 250k hands will teach you absolutely nothing, playing 25NL will. At first you will probably lose, but eventually it will pay off.

I can post an EV graph tomorrow, I recently downloaded and HEM and i'll import all the hands into it tonight, since you cant EV graph with PT3, but don't expect anything epic, I know its bad play and I'm not blaming this on running bad.

Yes I live with my parents and no working at McDonalds wouldn't be better than this because McDonalds just isnt entertaining even slightly.

And I can't understand why depositing and moving UP is a good idea, it just doesn't seem to make any sense, anyway im grinding away at 2nl right now, i'll be back at 5nl soon and then hopefully try again at 10nl.

wow sick graf dude

can u clarify what you mean by bad-ish BRM? do you mean you continued playgin 25nl even thogh u were losing and had only $50 left? or you move up to like 100NL to try to make back losses and got pwned? Also do you suffer from tilt issues?
