Spots where you have thin SD value, are usually not the best ones to turn into bluffs. I agree. However, having too large sizings in such spots will not likely result in a positive red line, IMO.

Sadly, even if they do result in a positive red line, it is offset by the time your large bet sizing is called by a player that already had you beat or a player that outdraws you.
A positive red line is worthless if the blue line is going downhill.

Absolutely, all that matters at the end is the green line.

Yes, indeed. I arranged somewhat fixed days for studying and playing, like 2-3 days a week, which helps a lot.
But the past week I haven't been able to play much, unfortunately, too much other stuff going on.

Reverse Comeback

The graph from the past BR challenge period.

Past weeks didn't go very well. I made a few punts and wasn't in the right mindset. Especially, making mistakes hurts my confidence. Gotta focus on regaining my confidence and a good mindset.

Invincible

I play NL2 leader boards on Stars occasionally. Had an insane run yesterday, was literally invincible.
Now I need to find a way to transfer this to NL10...

If you are interested, here are some details from the recent challenge period. Results were not quite as bad because of rake back. NL16 shot went pretty bad.

I feel sick inside, when I see this red line, but nothing I can do but keep on grinding, learning and control the controllables.

It is interesting to see how the equity changes street-by-street.
Nice hand!

Sick Hot Run 🀩

Had a super hot run in the PokerStars Sunday Storm Anniversary tournament.

Finished 119th place out of a 87k player pool, after qualifying through a freeroll satellite. Massive BR boost πŸ’ͺ🏻
