Most micro cash players have negative redlines, it's normal. The problem here is that you are not compensating for it with your showdown winnings. The sample size is very small though and you could be just experiencing some negative variance where you keep running into the top of villains ranges at showdown for example.

In general, to improve your redline you need to avoid calling too much then giving up on later streets, resteal pre flop more often and be able to identify good spots to bluff.

Thanks for that, mm. What is the best tool that you recommend to identify leaks ? Is it room-dependent ? Thanks ;)

Look at what you did on your non-showdown hands. Since limping is a fairly common leak at the micros, I suspect you'll see that you have a net loss when you open-limped, limped behind, or limp-called. If so, you should obviously do these things less often, especially limp-calling which costs more and often puts you OOP.

Also look at the hands where you called an opening bet. Again, if you're losing when you do this, don't do it as often.

Probably one of the best pieces of adivce ive read on a poker forum. Short and to the point yet very useful
