I busted my 3 buy-ins shot at NL5. I'm going to take a week off from playing to refocus, study more and review my hands.

Wow that red line. Arent you just a liiiiittle bit aggressive? ♦ Anyway no big deal, your EV is basicaly breakeven so nothing to do with that. It is always so when you are moving up

About the ranges - if I remember correctly, Confidants course is based on very nity defending range? Imho it is not so good nowadays. Especially when you are using hud and you can adapt to villainy you need to expand those ranges.

But your red line doesnt seem like nity defending at all ♦

maybe redline = not folding.

Thank you for your positive words =).
I'm taking a short break off the playing. I'm going to focus on the study and I'm seriously thinking about buy-ing Raise your edge Elementary Cash Game course.
The price is very affordable.

And then I may use my Starcoins and buy some cash and try to take a shot at NL5 again.

Common Mistakes Most Beginners Do

Best advice I can give to you is to turn off the yellow (specially this one), blue and red lines. They aren't green for a reason.

Well, I would rather turn off the others than the yellow one. The yellow one tells me if I play good or bad, or am I wrong?

turning off yellow is for the weak

With proper bankroll green and yellow will allways meet somewhere in the graph... so pick the one you like most. It is really just about color preferency If you leave aside the temporary feeling of justice or unjustice the yellow line can provide....it doesnt really matter.

I'm pretty busy this week, so I'm taking another week off.
But will do some more study though.

good luck on your new journey - you seem very persistent and usually this pays off.

I'm on a similar journey myself so very interesting to follow and relate.

Good luck and enjoy

Thank you for your words nutural and to you, too!

So here is the plan for upcoming days:

I have 3895 Starscoins now. I think I need to achieve two blue chests to get to 4000 coins.
I'm going to change these coins to cash for 40$ and take another shot at NL5.
Until I reach these points, I will play NL2 and study.

Study never hurts, but you need to know what to study in order not to go around the same place. The series below is old but has what it takes to improve some points in your game. There are 10 videos in total.
