Whale Tails
My name is Billy Backdoors, I am a 25z player on Ignition.
This thread will chronicle my journey as a player.
I will post graphs once a week ( at least) and hand histories looking for feedback.
I have been playing for ~ 6 months, started in January 2024. My approach is some theory but mostly exploitative approach, exploits that I have developed as I play, but I am primarily a button clicker.
My graphs will start at the last time I hit breakeven bankroll at 25z for the purposes of this thread.

This is my first attempt at writing blogs or goal setting in poker, so any advice about how to improve those aspects of my game would be much appreciated.
I am not a full time player, nor do I plan to be, I have a decent career and I am more looking to play poker as a fun player, but just because I am a fun player doesn't mean I have to blow ass.
My main focus will start with 3bp IP, mostly BTN vs CO open and BB vs SB open. These seem to be the most common places to play 3bp IP, and 3bp IP seem to be a very winning spot for me. I think this might make a larger impact on my win rate rather than playing SRP BTN vs BB.
The focus on 3bp comes from the fact that I play pure raise or fold preflop, only other than BB which I do have a flatting range. This keeps my ranges much easier to handle, which may make a bad player, but I think that an easier to execute strategy is better than a hard to execute strategy.
