Hi everybody!

I'm a 35 year old music teacher from Brazil. I used to be a 25NL and 50NL reg at Pokerstars back in the day, from 2005 to 2009, actually. I did made some nice money then, was really serious about my game and I was even coached and staked by some really good players.

As you all know, life changes, and I have been away from poker for almost 10 years. I recently fell in love with the game again, made a small deposit at a site, created this pokerstrategy account and also bought some material from Nathan Willians (Blackrain79) and Upswing Poker (didn't buy the full course, just the $7 postflop game plan). I have been studying a good amount, and now just finished playing my first 20k hands.

I've played NL2 up to $100 and now I'm playing NL5. Below are my overall results and graph. I'm actually quite happy about my results so far, but I'm always looking for ways to improve and will welcome all advice before moving up to 10NL next week (I'm currently on vacation, so I'm able to grind a lot). I play normal full ring and 6-max tables when I have the time to table select well, when I have little time and want a quick grind or tables are bad I'll load up some 6-max fast fold poker. I've been playing (or trying to) a LAG style for the most part.

Cya.

Very nice red line!
Is it the material of Nathan Williams that helped you to get this nice line?

Good luck!!
I'm thinking of getting back to cash games as well. I'm just doubt that playing nl50 and higher would be still really profitable. Strangely, it doesn't feel like starting over at nano stakes, which you did. And I think it is right decision. So maybe soon at the tables?

Thanks! Yes, the material from Nathan has helped a lot. I also take lots of notes on players, so I can exploit regs tendencies to float and give up to the turn barrel (there's so much of this going on at the micros it's crazy, seems like people just started to learn how to float, but they don't think about hand equity, so they will float AhJc on a 7s 8s Kd board and stuff like that, therefore they float with little chance of improving and no plan for the hand).

There's another reason I have a nice redline: I pick my c-bets carefully. Nothing drops the redline more than c-betting lots of bad flops just to check/fold turn, specially OOP. Every time we just check/fold a 4-way pot with ace high, although we just lost a non-showdown pot, we are actually improving our overall red line, since betting flop / giving up on turn would make a bigger "redline pot" that we would've lost anyway.

This has to be on the front page of this site.
