Thanks
Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt. I'm a 5nl player myself, and I'm by no means a prodigy, but I'm currently crushing 5nl for 20bb/100 hands. I've run $10 up to $100 on Pokerstars before "Black Friday" and I just hit $150 on my $20 deposit on Bovada playing 5nl. I'm going to take shots at 10nl soon, and I've done this by playing fairly tight and not getting fancy.
You seem to like to play a little looser than I, but even taking that into account, it looks like you're calling too much in the BB. You said that you're stuck at 2NL? That generally means you need to focus on straight forward tight ABC poker. Don't bluff. Don't float flops. Bet your value hands, cbet a highish percentage of the time, and fold when you don't have proper odds to draw. That's all there is to it. You're hardly playing poker at these stakes, don't get fancy.
Yes the above paragraph sounds harsh, but let's examine your graph. Notice how when your red line climbs (even at a moderate incline) your green line seems to take harsh stabs downwards? Not good. As you said, you're bluffing too much into players that don't fold. Notice how once your red line evens out towards the last ~8k hands that your green line steadily climbs? You're folding more often when you should be, and your positive increase in winrate is just getting good value out of your hands when you're very clearly ahead.
Tighten up a little bit, DON'T BLUFF, and bet for fat value when you're ahead.
