Hi
Started back at poker in October last year.
On Ignition, I was playing .02/.05c and slowly winning. Then in late Jan I moved to .05/10c and started to win more.
February was a shocker. I don't think I'm playing awful poker, but I could be wrong. I attached a hand from March, which has also started poorly.
Leakbuster seems to think I'm OK?
The hand I've really struggled with is AKs and AKo and other premium hands. I usually open raise about 10bb and get called, or I 3bet and called, or I call a 3bet.
Miss the flop, make a pot sized continuation bet and get called or in position miss the flop face a pot sized bet and fold.
On one occasion I went all in pre-flop, and you can see the result in the screenshot!
I've also just moved to Coinpoker so I can collect information on my opponents via Drivehud 2
I think my screenshots are the best way to see my decline. Note loosing with top pair top kicker - over pairs and even nut straights?
Any advice appreciated!

With all due respect, TL;DR

But, microstakes are really challenging, as you'll encounter a variety of players trying to step up on the poker's ladder.

You may be playing well, but unfortunately luck plays a bigger role on microstakes.

Even so, I don't advise you should go for bigger buy ins, just try to bet big on microstakes only when really nuts.

Hello, IMHO 5 months it's not that distance when you can start assuming something, you are also mentioned that you change limit twice, for me it's a huge steps.

You can try step back at 1 limit and collect more data in measurable time periods play in a day lets say next 6 months and based in that move forvard.

You will be ready to best days and awful and will not see patterns or conspiracy in normal probability situations.
