I just wanna post this whether it matters or not... I felt really good about this. Villain is the same in both hands and running 71/22/1.3 over ~200 hands. He's down about 40 BB's and bemoaning his luck as I am supposedly the luckiest person on earth. He then does this and berates me. I really felt he was calling the river with a weaker ace, and he used half his time bank to c/r me.PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comPreflop: Hero is UTG with A :D, Q :DHero raises, 2 folds, SB calls, 1 foldFlop: (5 SB) 8 :qh, 3 :icon_clap:, 2 :4h(2 players)SB checks, Hero checksTurn: (2.5 BB) K :club:(2 players)SB checks, Hero checksRiver: (2.5 BB) 8 :ts(2 players)SB checks, Hero bets, SB raises, Hero callsTotal pot: $13 (6.5 BB) | Rake: $0.50Results:SB had T3dd(two pair, eights and threes).Hero mucked AhQc (one pair, eights).Outcome: SB won $12.50Then exactly two hands later this happened, and he blew up. I specifically capped the river because of his previous play and it was the first time that I actually realized I was playing a hand based specifically on a read I had. The turn check said that he definitely had a queen, and it made me feel pretty special inside.PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comPreflop: Hero is SB with Q :5c, A :D1 fold, MP calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, MP callsFlop: (5 SB) K :D, Q :D, 2 :icon_clap:(2 players)Hero bets, MP raises, Hero callsTurn: (4.5 BB) 8 :3h(2 players)Hero checks, MP checksRiver: (4.5 BB) K :qh(2 players)Hero bets, MP raises, Hero 3-bets, MP caps, Hero callsTotal pot: $25 (12.5 BB) | Rake: $1Results:Hero had AQss: (two pair, Kings and Queens).MP had QhJd: (two pair, Kings and Queens).Outcome: Hero won $24I may have taken a lil money out of poker with NLHE tourneys and such, but this LHE thing is so damn addicting. I just love the fact that I am becoming so observant about poker now. And it's actually helping me in my NLHE tourney play I think. Thanks guys, I really do owe this feeling to a few of you.

So today I started a challenge that I think is gonna be fairly achievable. I play 1-3 tables currently, although it's usually 1-2. I want to be rolled for 1/2 by the end of the year. I only put in about 1500 hands a week currently, and I don't plan on changing that. I do still donk around in MTT's and other leaks, but I'm trying to keep two seperate rolls.
So I made this in less than 2 months and that is pretty awesome IMO, although I am playing a lot more than 1500 hands a week right now. What should my next goal be? Should I just go for 2/4 and 3/6 and if so is 300 BB's still substantial for those levels. I been doing the 300BB's for the game I'm in, then playing til I go down to 400 of the level below me if I run bad/play bad. Is this still safe?

Oh, it's normal, but I don't get what all those plus signs are for. How does one even go about gaining bets?
