some poor table selection

Oddly enough, the only hands I honestly feel I wasn't playing too well was the breakeven stretch for the first 12k, where I was still a donkament player and didn't know what I was doing.

The downswing around hand 20k came from poor table selection. IE Idiot lagtard villain sits to my left and starts 3betting light. I know he 3bets light so I start 4betting light, but he just happens to wake up with cards then. If he 3bets me 4 times straight and then I 4bet shove JJ this isn't a leak, if he calls with QQ its a cooler vs. this villain. Better solution is just to find a better table/seat so that you can isolate the fish or get position on the lagtard. Normally uNL table selection is just finding a table thats not nitty, but seat selection is also important.

I then drop back down to 10NL which takes forever to build a roll even if you're wrecking the games for 10bb/100 (many tables are so passive/nitty that it's actually hard to beat them for much more than this). I built back up to ~550 to regain my confidence, try out 25NL again, and run worse than sin, dropping 6 buyins in one session (the last one was tiltshoving AKo into a nit that for some reason kept 3betting me). During this session, I swear to god I lost every single pot I 3bet preflop. If I 3bet KK/QQ, flop would come Axx and villain check/shoves. If I 3bet AK, I whiff and villain check/shoves. If I 3bet AA, villain flopped a set or just folded PF. So annoying.

Keep in mind that 6 buyins at 25NL is 15 at 10NL, so it takes a fair amount of time to build back. Finally, last week, around hand 50k I go back to 25NL and say screw it, if I run bad I run bad but 10NL was about to make my head explode with how passive/nitty it is. I get back on, play my A game, and am finally rewarded by not running horrible

when i started up last summer it took me 15k hands to move through NL25 and NL50 excersising proper bankroll management.. and i probably sucked monkeyballs back then compared to now.
i admire your resolve OP, but at this rate you will be playing NL400 in about 10 million hands
