I could type some things, but I feel that everybody here knows it.
Tldr when br get down to 635$ I moved back to NL5 though 4 fast tables no reg tables.
That's where I play now, to have safe bankroll and build back some confidence.

So my bankroll is where it was 4 months ago.
I think I'm not ready to beat NL10 at this moment.
Maybe it's variance, but I'm not super confident either.
Since I want to move my bankroll up to complete challenge here I decided I will play NL5 till it's 1k$ (if so).
I think I have all the equipment I need to stream so I will and it will be in english with commentary, so if you want u may follow here.

I moved from reg tables back to zoom NL10.
I'm running quite good recently.

What differences do you find between zoom and regular tables at NL 10?
I play tighter at zoom, and it seems that others do too, so I often wonder if it would be better to tighten up on the normal tables, or loosen up at zoom.
I'm break-even player at both really — and I don't play hold'em much at all.
Generally I play the same ranges on both, but I play wider vs marked players so my VPIP is probably higher on reg tables.
Opponents are the same, but since you can easier spot the fish or you can bumhunt, you will probably have better winrate on reg tables.
Though you can play more hands on zoom at the same time, plus there's more rakeback by playing more hands so it evens up I guess.
So the real difference to me right now is that I find it boring to play reg tables because I can play only 4 at the same time (the same amount as zoom tables).
