Hey @mediu. NL10 should be beatable on every poker room that exists on the market so I wouldn't worry about that and it's a good idea to switch to a poker room with better rakeback given the amount of rake that you're paying on micro stakes. You might want to consider a slightly more conservative bankroll management approach, especially when you don't react that well to swings. Taking shots with 20 buy-ins is something that might have worked well for a considerable percentage of the player population back in like 2010, but nowadays it will only really work for people who have a considerable edge over the opposition. The truth is that if your win rate at certain stakes is hight, grinding that 20 or even 40 additional buy-ins doesn't really take that much longer, and it's far less stressful than taking a shot with the insufficient bankroll. If you really want to take shots with 20 buy-ins they should be very aggressive, meaning that once you lose something like 2 buy-ins you should go down in stakes but this approach is very stressful and many players quickly find out that they don't really have a stomach for it. Otherwise, it's best to grind 30-50 buy-ins before trying to move up. You're young and smart, I'm sure if you add some patience to the equation you'll crush the games in 2018. Good luck!

Hey @MattVIP . Wow, thanks, that is really inspiring! And yeah, 20BI shots are a bit stressful since if you fall down 2 or 3 you don't feel like playing lower stakes but rather chasing loses. And you might be right I might be rushing things a bit. I think I'll focus more on study rather than just putting in volume since I feel like that would help me more rn so I'll just postpone the site switch for when I am about to put in more volume. Thanks for the wise words really appreciate it, send some more when you have time and feel like it. I wish you the best in 2018 as well!

Long time, no post.
I focused myself more on study rather than just putting in volume in these last days and what I realized is that I was too lose in some spots and that I was treating all player pool almost the same and was not adjusting enough to their playstyle. Therefore, I reduced the number of tables to 4 so I can pay better attention and it kind off shows.
Anyway, I am thinking about switching to UltimaPoker when I get back to 500$ bankroll so I can get the maximum first deposit bonus. Props to @Jon-PokerVIP for tagging me in that one.
