My WR is actually losing over the last 20k hands, but that has nothing to do with the solver. I ran above expectation in my first 20k hands at 5NLz and now I'm running well below.
Variance is a real thing.

Technically you are correct. My point was that studying spots that come up more often (such as BTNvsBB) would be a better use of his time, over studying something that doesn't happen as often (3bet pots OOP).
No I haven't studied my tracker at all, that is why I am transitioning over to ACR.
For a few reasons.
1) I want to test myself against ACR regs
2) I want to learn how to use a HUD proficiently

You are still attributing my solver work with my decreased WR. My game has gotten better, not worse with off the table work. The 20k hand sample is variance and running 10BI's below expectation in all in EV.
Go from 5NL-->50NL in 1 or 2 months? Is that a joke? When was the last time you played a 100k hand sample at 5NL/10NL/25NL? 2008?
There is a reason most people have quit poker online or transitioned to live. The games are wayyyy harder and most people don't have the skill or knowledge to be profitable. Also all micros aren't the same. There is a huge difference between 5NL on Global or BOL, as opposed to 5NLz on Ignition and 5NL on ACR.
Let's say we start out with $100 and do your challenge at 5NL. In order to grow that $100 (20 BI's at 5NL) to $1000 (20 BI's at 50NL) you would have to jump from 5NL->10NL->25NL
So we would first have to win 20 buyins at 5NL - let's assume a 5BB winrate so that would take 40k hands.
Now we are at 10NL with $200. We need to win $300 or 30BIs. So again let's assume our WR doesn't drop when we move up (it will).
We need to play 60k hands at 10NL.
Okay now we have $500. Now we are 25NL with 20BIs. We need to win another 20 BIs to move up to 50NL. Okay let's again assume 5BB winrate even though it won't be this high. Let's also assume we run decent and variance doesn't crush us.
20BIs at 25NL @5bb WR is another 40k hands.
Okay so we have to play 140k hands in 1 or 2 months and in all this time have a top 1% WR - that is just to GET to 50NL. God forbid we go on a downswing then we have to do this all over again.
Yeah that isn't easy. And that is why so many people are stuck at the micros. Add in the ridiculous rake and the better play and it is no wonder micros is the place where poker players go to die.
The last point made me laugh. The fact that WorldzMine thinks he is even close to LinusLove in poker skill/knowledge is a complete joke. Nothing can compare to that.
