Struggling NL10 player -- Advices? Thanks!!!
Hi, I am a new poker player that began playing for two months. Just moved from NL2 to NL5 and then NL10, but getting demoralized after not being able to beat the rake over 45K hands. The following is my graph and my stats, which are disgusting to look at now.
I have a couple of questions:
1. I think my WSD and WWSF is fine, so I can't precisely pinpoint my issue
2. I don't know why my redline is tanking so much despite the WWSF. Perhaps I am misguided and a 49% WWSF is pretty awful.
3. Why is my button underperforming with the best WWSF?
I do see that my blind games are horrible - -45bb/100 and -36bb/100 is insanely bad, so that's definitely somewhere to work on. Any advices? Thanks!

Hey man, I am currently searching the forums for some old posts, which offered some cool insights back in the day. Look for "mpethybridge" guy, he posted many awesome concepts. Example:

As for the rest, I have already given you my insights here

Oh man those were the day. The concept of the weak posts were pure gold.
Ref being a struggling player there are lots of training sites available and decent content for free on YouTube etc. posting your troublesome hands and joining in other discussions will certainly be beneficial to your game.
Poker is a very complex and difficult game to beat but that’s where the appeal is - for me anyway. I had some articles saved somewhere that basically shows how to go through your database to find leaks so will post them later, but using resources like GTO Wizard and understanding the detail is definitely a way forward.
Good luck
Hey man, telling you that your redline is bad, or that you should get your wwsf to 51 or whatever other stat, without explaining how to play every single spot, is like when I was a kid trying to open a door that was stuck, using force, and the adult telling me that force would just break the door or hurt me, and that the secret was not putting force, but doing it the right way. Naturally, if the adult didn't ever tell me wtf is the right way supposed to be, then he was just stating the obvious without really saying anything useful.
I am assuming you're still more or less a beginner. What helped me back in the day was to forget about stats, forget about trying to understand the game, find a vid maker whose style clicked the most to me (Cameron Couch, ishter11, on runitonce, was the man), pay attention to everything he did and try to mimick his play to the best of my abilities.
I still stand by what I told you in the other thread: forget zoom and play regular tables.
