The last days I played not so much. I'm now at $150.
The last session I've played some NL6 and NL10 tables.
At the end of the session there were not much NL10 tables and these NL10 tables were full of NL10 regs, so I played at 2 NL25 tables.

One hand I had AA in the SB.
One player limped from MP (no reads), I raised to 6BB and he (snap) called.
Flop: 46Qr
I bet 1/2 - 2/3 pot and he called.
Turn: Q
I checked and he bet full pot relatively fast. (perhaps snap)
I folded.

(1st i'm no good poker player.)
I mean when I have no read I'm mostly weak and fold in such sits., but when I think about it, I have a wide range here (contains mostly nothing or pairs below Q). So when my opp. make this play with any hand and I fold always I'm outplayed.
But what is his range?
Just a float. ( I think I need a read?)
His range: Q, 66, 44 and opp. dependent nothing, 77+.
(Is pot betting his normal play? read?)

My conclusion:
Against a normal opp. at these stakes I think my fold was correct.
Normal = loose-passive
With a read about floating or attacking weaknesss, likes to bluff...
it becomes a call.

The last 4 sessions were not so good + $20 = $170.

1 or 1 people seem to be 24h a day online.

I had some sits. vs this one guy (24h) today where I raised KK big (8BB) IP and he called both times the flop was low and I c-betted.
He called. He and I checked the turn.
On the river he now bets 1/2 - 2/3 pot on a connected low board.
Both times I folded.

Don't know how to play against this guy.
Both times he has when he doesn't bet 1 low pair this way (turning his hand into a bluff) a bluff or a hand that beats me.
Don't know how often I need to be ahead to call.
My play until now is to bet one or two times and then fold.
He is rel loose preflop, so he has to give up on a lot of flops.
(and that is the money I get from him and sometimes in raised multiway pots he makes the pot bigger through his calls)
He is a winning player, passive preflop and postflop he doesn't raise or makes plays vs pfr often. So when he raises mostly for value.
He often calls the cbet, but fold to a 2nd barrel.

My current bankroll: 185
I was at 215 yesterday, but...
The last week I won no AA vs KK or KK vs AA preflop all-in situations. ( I had 4 or 5)
The biggest losses today:
Again with AA vs KK lost. (1,5 Buyins)
And K7 vs 22 lost. (1,7 Buy-Ins)

I raised K7 from BU. The SB called and the BB (22) made a 3x 3bet and we called. Flop: 772
(I had seen the player with 22 call me down with 62o and no outs and after my check on the river as the flush came he checked also.)
I expected him to go all-in with any 7 or perhaps even an overplayed AA,KK.
(Don't know iff 22 c/r or lead out, but all-in was on turn (from him 2/3 pot), cause I wanted him to think I can have any pair.)

Update:
Yesterday worked my way again up to 205 and now to 220.
HU I've lost 1,5 Buy-Ins NL10 vs a player I could not beat.
I've to watch 2 HU video series the next week.
1 Buyin of the 1,5 I've lost in a 3bet pot + flopped flush with 46s vs the flopped royal flush of my opp. = not my fault.

Yesterday I won ~ 6 Buyins (NL10) in the 1st hour. (too good to be true.) - sets vs multiple opps and nuts...

Then I decided to try to play 2 tables NL25.
and lost 1/2 stack while trying to adapt to these games.
NL25 is much more aggressive. No more mw pots. Mostly Nits and Tags at these tables or loose players with a low WTSD. Like at other poker rooms.

Then I had a sit. at NL25 where I raised AK a min-stack shoved for ~ 1.60 and another player (a little looser than TAG,NIT) called. I decided to reraise again to $5 and now the caller moved all-in.
I was so scared to loose so I folded, but there was already so much money in the pot I think I normaly can't fold here.
Opp.'s range here is QQ+(sometimes JJ), AK. He had QQ.

The I had a sit. with AA vs KK at NL, which I won.
So many sits. with AA or KK and I mostly loose when I get them in preflop. But this time a wonder and I won.
The Co raised and I called. The BB squeezed and I 4-bet and he shoved.
I think that when I have no read I should 3bet in this sit., so I made a mistake here. Even when the CO has a wide range and I'm IP.
On the other hand when the players at NL25 or that player (seems to be tag?) are the same like at other online poker rooms then they'll fold to my 3bet 70% of the time.
So I think I should call when the players in the blinds are not loose?
Or 3bet when I 3bet here with a lot of hands, but then I have to change my play, which I'll have to do when I'll play NL25 in the future.

Then I lost $17 with KK vs AA.
I raised and got a min-reraise from a player IP. (no reads, only that he raises when he enters a pot.)
I saw these min-raises so often at Betonline and mostly it's AA or KK, which doesn't want me to fold.
So I think I can play it also another way. Don't know esp. OOP, but when the opp. is not too aggr. my opp. will slow down on turn or river when I just call preflop.
Esp. at NL25 vs Nits and TAGs, which only call these shoves with QQ+, AK. Perhaps even only KK or AA.
Do you know a better way to play KK?

Then I had a few sits. where I had 30% equity vs 2 opps. or 48% equity vs 2 which I lost.

Then a sit. where I raised with KK and got called by 2 players. I was IP.
Flop: JTx + (possible flush draw?)
Both checked and I bet ~ 1/2 pot. 1 player called and the other a slightly loose aggr. opp. shoved.
After thinking for a while I shoved also.
I don't know if my play was correct, but I thought his range was too wide to fold even if I have no outs.
I gave him any J, JT, (Flush draw), Straight draw
...It's not too much...
The other player called after a some time also.
The player which shoved had AJ and the other had KQ. I ddidn't want the 2nd player in the pot also, cause it it increases the outs of my opps. vs me if I'm ahead.
The turn was an A. So I lost.

At the end I had a set under set sit. with 99 vs QQ.

So my bankroll: +$18 = ~$240 (played today 6.5 hours)

I think I will play more NL10 in the future (much easier), learn more about the play of a 50BB stack and think about the play at NL25.

I don't know why but I win momentary.
Am I on an Upswing? or just lucky?
My Bankroll is now at $440.
The next days I'll try to withdraw some money.
Don't know how long it will take with moneybookers or how long it will take to verify my identity. Hope only one week.

The last 2 days I've only lost.
70% of opps. are too strong for me at NL25. Cause they know how to handle weak-tight players like me.
and the other didn't payed me off.
So I lost $80.
Bankroll: ~$230.

Month is over now.
Was able to make $650 out of $40.
Even with my weak tight play.
Now I wanna withdraw $300. Hope they let me.
There are so many bad reviews out there. Alone at Pokerscout 30.
Wait now 2 days for reply about my documents, but that's normal.
