I've been playing for a while now and playing 10nl for the last couple of months. I've also been reviewing hand histories, making notes, reading books, watching videos and following the Poker Zion Roots course. I think I've improved a bit but my win-rate is very very small - just about breakeven.
One of the things I do is try to practise a concept during the week - eg, playing OOP or playing draws. But I find that by doing so I make more mistakes. I'm trying to put new ideas into practice and don't always make the right decisions. Do you more experienced players think this is a valuable thing to do in the long run while I am playing such low stakes as I will learn faster or do you think I should stick to playing tight ABC poker?
I call too much IP as a way to practise post flop play and hand reading but obviously I am not very good yet. My stats look very weird - I am winning at about 35bb/100 in EP/MP/CO but losing at -7bb/100 on the BTN! I am always cold calling on the button with marginal hands to get experience of playing IP but suck at it. Probably calling too much in BB too. Seems like chicken and egg - how can I learn and get better at post flop if I play really tight and don't get into marginal spots?
