Out of the Past: Moving through the stakes
Hello,
I am a 23-year-old first-year law student in the United States. I've played poker off-and-on since I was eighteen. However, I had not played in a couple of years until this past winter break. I started playing 25nl/50nl on Pokerstars MI during my time off. I ended up breaking even for the break in terms of BBs and down money overall. Overall, I think I have a strong base to build off of.
My current goal is to be regging 100nl by the end of the school year.
My school is outside of Michigan so I'm trying to decide between ACR and Ignition. Ignition's software has been horrible the past few days for me. ACR's software is amazing but the games are obviously a bit tougher (I think ACR is on a bit of an upswing though?). I'm open to hear people's suggestions. I've already got accounts with both sites and all their skins (sadly) so no bonuses I can utilize.
In terms of study, I have GTO Wizard. I plan to try and study a little bit every day, one spot at a time. Beginning with preflop. If I stall out and struggle to improve, I'm not averse to dropping stakes and spending some money on 1-on-1 coaching.
Bankroll is ~1,500 USD. I'll start off playing mostly 25nl as I get use to the sites/player pools--I'll reserve 50nl for the premium times.

My Pokerstars volume over break. Excludes ~5,000-10,000 25nl hands where I was a pretty big winner. Redline sucks, obviously. Need to improve that. I'm newer, so this observation can be taken with a grain of salt, but I think I ran really bad over this sample. Or I could just be bad myself, which is the most likely possibility.
I've never really been "educated" on what good stats look like. I think my WWSF is really low when I compared it to the good regs in my pool. Same with Cbet%s all streets. I'm a NIT in the BB?
Let me know if there are other stats/graphs people want to see.

All of your frequencies are low and on the passive side of the spectrum. More cbetting, more 3betting, more 4betting more x'ring etc etc. All very natural for a newer player of course. No real advice on practical ways to improve other than study and play more and everything will naturally get better so long as your always open to critique on your game from yourself and others.
Best of luck
