Thanks in advance for the help guys.A couple of my own observations first (that can either be confirmed or destroyed):- obv I cannot expect to win 71% of the time at showdown like I did at 400NL the first half of the month- I call too much on the river, and this can be witnessed all throughout these stats I think, especially in the second group of stats. I've known this for a while, and thought I got better, but I guess not- 600NL is way above my skill level, and I realized that while I was playing, but thought taking a shot to chase a donk or two was a good idea (nevermind the couple bad hands I posted earlier, the next day after that I got my money in bad twice, so I can only blame myself for that) --- no longer do I think this is a good idea fwiw, nevermind my results- these stats show I call pf too much, but when I am playing, I feel like when I do I am only doing it in position w/ hands that play well post flop or multi-way, but maybe this is just me telling myself what I want to hear and rationalizing itI was VERY careful table selecting the first half of the month since I had a smaller roll, and I'm not sure I was as careful once I had some success.Admittedly once I started doing better, I tried to play more 200NL+ as I got focused on making $$ (and this was a pressure I think I let seep into my mindset, and I know it affected my play) since I was overrolled for that level, even though I was concerned that I wasn't beating 100NL really (although I noticed I was willing to take more flips/play more marginal spots at 100NL, which I then chalked up to why I was initially break-even), but I figured I would play those levels anyways.So the only real differences I see (which are pretty major) are Won$WSF and Won$atSD. But do the rest of my stats just suck?Please be brutally honest, I want to get better and can take it.

i think we need more stats than the ones you've provided to find any major leaks. what limits are u normally playing because the limits you have the most hands played, NL100, ur down 17 buyins. what is a common marginal spot/"flip" that you are faced with.edit:you should also post your position stats

you should also post your position stats

Ya, that would help a lot.

I had been playing mostly 50NL and 100NL, beating it for 1-2BB/100 on good months, nothing impressive at all. I have been studying/reading/watching CR videos a lot over the past few months and this month things seemed to just kinda click in my head (or at least I was under the impression they did). Then I started making $ in some of the higher limits, which padded my bankroll and gave me confidence, and there was a stretch that I just couldn't seem to lose, dunno if it was because I was playing well or just getting lucky, but I really thought I was playing well (the curse of winning sometimes).I really think that my BR getting so high (for me) caused me to change the way I played because I became concerned about losing, but I couldn't and still can't necessarily put a finger on how I did change.I guess marginal (and maybe marginal was an incorrect word) spots that I was speaking of was hands like AK/JJ/QQ that on a handful of occasions I would play for stacks PF at 100NL this month, where as in the past (or at a higher level - even if it might be more proper to do so at a higher level), I would rarely stack off with those. Also I think I gave less credit to short stacks at 100NL than I probably should have, and lost 30-40BB in spots I shouldn't have.Here are some more of my stats (also broken down between 6max and FR... for some reason I didn't think to do that last time... also I removed my hands at 3/6, as they accounted for <2% of the overall hands and the big $ losses skew the data imo):Ewwwww.... another thing I just saw is that the first part of the month I was cbetting 66% of the time, and that dropped down to 56% for some reason.Fold to river bet was constant at 67%, although going through the last group of hands, I seemed to have more bad calls on the river.Again, if you have the time, please take a look at all this, I greatly appreciate it.Bob

Okay, you wanted honest. Why on Earth are you playing 2/4 and 3/6? I would say that is your biggest issue right there. Doesn't even matter if you are rolled for it. Just because you are rolled for a limit, does not mean you should be playing it. You certainly haven't played enough hands at the other limits to even consider playing those limits.

But Phil Galfond never played below 5/10 nl.

i say start winning money on ur button...and stop making moves, trying to get people off their hand. Just learn how to get max value given your hand vs their range. I'm not sure how you're losing so much money without showdown because I'm pretty sure people aren't 2 or 3 barrel bluffing much at nl100.

So I want to export my FTP notes from my desktop to my laptop. I know how to do this cause I e-mailed FTP support before when one day there were all missing (after an update), they said: For your reference, Full Tilt Poker's player notes feature is integrated into a file related to your player account. This file is named, [PlayerID].dat (In your case, the file would be named "cwik1.dat") and is written in a format intended to be read only by the game client. The file can be found in the main directory of your Full Tilt Poker installation. By default this location is C:\Program Files\Full Tilt Poker. I remember checking it before and it was in the folder specified. But, now it seems to have dissapeared as the file (cwik1.dat) is not in that folder, nor does the search function shed any light. However, my player notes on FTP are all there and working.So... wtf? Any one have a good answer to this? I am leaving tomorrow morning, so be nice if I could resolve this tonight.

I'll miss ya, but I really am glad to be leaving and I don't want to think about poker really for at least a month.Anyways, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.I'll be sure to post as soon as I return (relatively) and have lots of pics.Later.- Jordan

[psujohn 0]

0 for 2 flopping sets vs villains AA today.JJ < AA on AJx flop33 < AA on 3xx board due to runner runner flush. Worst part is I knew villain had AA and he'd get it all in with me. I bet, he raised, I 3-bet shoved he insta-calls and 12% gets there.
