Yes, it is, but it's not so bad at 5nl -- I don't know why.
No, 10nl is quite a bit better, or else I got worse.

How is it too wet to C-bet? I think a c-bet is a must here IMO, don't want to let gutshots and one pair hands catch up with a free card. If you were to check the flop and there was a bet not reraising and flatting would also be a mistake in my opinion. The object on the flop is to find out where your hand is at, flatting in a multiway pot doesnt accomplish that, and not c-betting doesn't accomplish that....Just the way I approach hands though.

That's why I asked about reads. Are these all calling stations that love to see flops? Are they spews that will raise bottom pair etc.? This flop smashes so many ranges that will float a SB raise. There will be times when a c-bet is needed but with no reads posted my default answer on this type of flop when in the SB w/ TPTK is to check here.

skip 5NL IMO, but it needs to be what your comfortable with
On a similar note... I'm at 3,800 for my roll right now and am trying to figure out when I should make the jump to 100NL. I was planning on once i hit 40 buy ins moving up, but then I started thinking im killing 50NL so hard I might as well just finish the month out there? Also don't want to move up to 100NL only to discover ive been on the biggest heater of my life and am not as good as my results have indicated. Any and all input welcomed.
Jump to 100NL as fast as you can. FR at that level is easier than 6max 50NL on FT imo. You will smash.

Raise more preflop. These guys are your typical loose-passive, I wanna see a flop fishes, so make them pay. You can probably make this .40 or .50 and still get a couple of calls and since you're OOP taking down the money in the pot is fine too.
After this flop you HAVE to bet. You have TPTK but the board sucks and there are lots of worse hands that will call (pair+draw type hands). I also full pot the flop (and if your preflop bet was bigger it might well be all-in).
The turn also sucks because a lot of the pair+draw hands made trips. But you can't fold for .50 either. I actually probably just go ahead and put him in on the turn because he's only got $2 left, so you're never folding the river either.
As played you just have to call the river and hope he got there with KQ/KJ and not JT/QT.
Also why don't you have a full stack at the start of the hand? Turn on auto-top off.

Since I started playing max tables (up to 24 at 6-max) yesterday and stopped thinking so much, I'm up 12.5 buy-ins. Strange month so far -- up a lot, down a lot, and now up a lot again. It's certainly easier playing good cards than thinking about marginal situations to eke out a few extra bbs/100.

A 'wet flop" can also be called a coordinated flop. Or one that has the potential to hook up with your opponents range. Or to say it even less obscurely a flop that has straight and flush potential.
People might be willing to draw on a wet flop.

flop can be discribed in a few ways. I draw heavy flop such as JhTh9s(very likely to hit lots of hands) would be considered wet. where as a flop like 2h2s7c would be considered dry(unlike to hit most hands). there's a glossary of terms i think its a sticky in the learning poker thread. or you could search for it.

Just had first session where I was down more than 1 BI for the entire month of august I also realized 5 min before I quit playing that my HUD seating got pushed 1 to the left without me realizing so I had the wrong stats for who knows how long on the villains. Kept wondering how they showed up with the top of their ranges over and over Oh well -3 BI session out of the way.

I think you have plenty, 20 BI is probably more than enough at micro.

Yea, I think # of tables really only makes a difference in BRM if you have so much on the tables that you could find yourself in a situation where you become underrolled during a session after losing several/many buyins...or maybe if you are playing so many tables that it really limits your winrate to almost breakeven, as you would be prone to greater swings and would want more buyins to protect yourself.
