5nl Blue Line advice

Hi guys I know this is a small sample but can anybody advise me on how to improve my blue line?

Its fine to be a red line crusher, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Any actions you take to improve blue line would likely come at the expense of red line.

Thank you for the reply. I think maybe I can slow down on river bluffs as they are the plays I am finding smaller success with and when called its a big hit to the blue line. I have read online about the dynamics between red and blue lines although I've seen graphs that crush both.

Thank you! I was worried I would be slated for the blue line. These hands are from nlh 5nl zoom on stars.

It could be, in general people can be sticky.at micro stakes once they call a turn bet or versus bet, check, bet
However remember a bluff only need to.work a % of the time (e.g. 50% for.pot) to be profitable.

I just wouldn't change much when your win rate is very good. Have you thought about moving up to 10NL?

I think you are right about players being sticky. It amazes me how much players will call with the parts of their range I expect to fold to large river bets and I don't target regs as much so I don't expect to see players calling lighter to pick off bluffs. I will make the adjustment and see how it goes. As for 10nl yes I have thought about moving up but I want to wait until around the 50k hand mark at 5nl assuming things are still going well at 50k. I would have started at 2nl if the rake wasn't so high.

Its reassuring to have positive feedback and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

A little back story I punted hard and chased losses a few years back so I took some time away from the game, I fixed a few life issues and as of this year things are going well. Its not about the money anymore I just want to get better and win as I love the strategy.
