NL25 Red Line

I'm playing for a few days NL25 and noticed my red line is going down basically 1/1 with my blue line - I earn as much with my blue line as I'm losing with my red line. It seems that in NL25 it's possible to have a decently nice red line - going down at a rate of 1/3 of your blue line. I cannot upload images with my user status but this is the link with a space; https ://ibb.co/WtmxKFd

I just played a session focusing on defending my blinds and playing more aggressively postflop in order to increase my red line... I played absolutely horrific. You simply cannot let unknown fish fold, neither can you let LAGs put down their medium pocket pairs when they don't find any reason. Any one experience with working on their red line in NL25?

Hi TonyMontanaha,

Before you get too worried, read through this thread:
https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=216296&goto=firstnew

In it one of the best coaches ever discusses the tradeoffs between the two.

Enjoy...

Hi Vorpal, thanks for your reply. I've actually already read that article. I still think there's room for improvement on my red line and I was wondering if others managed to improve their red line - without sacrificing their blue line winnings - on NL25.

It might be that the dynamic of the NL25 game is still not right for a good red line, but I don't want to give it up so quickly.

Tony...

At the end of the day the only line that matters is the GREEN LINE$$$.. However you can make that line go is the key.. I have seen graphs that the red line is a lead sinker... but if you make money it all doesn't matter,..

as you will see this is a sample of mine over 46k hands...and I am running at 8bb/100.. then there is other times my redline is through the roof..

Goodluck

Today's (short) NL 25 session:

Once I had a 200BB stack (just luck, believe me) I opened wider, and got fold after fold.

Nice giraffe!
It looks like you suffered quite the suckout near the end.

The red line and blue like seem to indicate that you were on a fairly tight table (or tables) -- Is this correct?
Is this fast-fold poker?

Yes, I did take a little nasty hit at the end, but shit happens.

I play in the states and Pokerstars doesn’t have a fast play option as of now..

The tables per say weren’t over tight. If I remember correctly that day.. I just had some good spots.
