I read this whole thread.
Aaron. No amount of studying alone will replace bouncing stuff off of others/a coach. Find one or you will go busto.
The game(s) where you are at may be loose/soft/easy, but variance will get you. Dont act too proud to get help from people.
The others in this thread can hate and be sarcastic, but they dont know the game there. Overtime they might be right, but you cant generalize everything in this world.
GL,

After seeing your handy paint work I can now see it clearly.
He is getting good advice here, whats he need a coach for when he has so many people here willing to advise him with great advice for free.
I for one didn't realise he was playing a different game, I thought he was playing poker.

I can't say anyone here will be surprised, perhaps you should start listening to advice given instead of preaching pro across the forum and most importantly bankroll MANAGEMENT! Especially if you were playing 1/2 on ACR as I can guarantee you didnt deposit ATLEAST $8000 in order to play these tables within BRM!

Also, your graph does not include your living expenses or that which you have deposited on ACR, so it is not a true representation of your bank roll, as you live and play from the same pot, Im expecting it to actually be <$3000
Oh, and you have now deleted the post to which I was referring!?

Based on things he's said in other threads it sounds like things aren't going well for him. Instead of disappearing he should be posting hands in here and seeking advice on how to improve. That is the purpose of this forum after all. I know we all gave him sh*t but if he actually asked for help I'm sure he'd get it here as long as he refrains from telling us we are clowns and he's a pro crusher.

Your right I am not at all even close to properly funded. TO be playing online 1-2 lol...My graph basically depicts what my profit is starting from January 24, 2016 to the current date of 2-26-2016. So basically I'm up about $4,357.00 USD. Poker is my only income at this minute.
Praying to god. I go on a massive heater this week.............I been getting wrecked at the casinos 1-3........Just horrible play. Just not playing correctly. (Not about to get into hand scenarios. Let's just say ("I'm all-in about 50% of the time every pot I'm in...) Single Pair and Two-pair are wrecking my bankroll. Top Pair-Top Kicker is just hard to play for me for some reason. I been at the casinos every day for 60 days straight.....I'm tired. Studying, Playing, thinking Poker every ****ing god damn minute of the day. Maybe I need a day off. I don't know. Money never sleeps though.
Not to mention. My car just broke down. So yeah. Pretty much in a world of shit
. Been up and down lately. Losing then winning. Then losing... If you can imagine. All-In with Pocket Kings against A10 for 300$........of course that Ace comes out..........breaks every hope and dream I have. After that I'm on tilt and just go crazy and lose another 300$. So yeah. Sorry if I come off arrogant on here. To me this is just the internet world . So I just type whatever on here haha. I'm going to be taking a stab at 0.50-1.00 online at ACR. I know I'm not funded for it but I believe in my skill. Just saying. I do.

On a serious note, I would deposit $400 and play 10NL sticking to a 40BI Bankroll. This will help cut your teeth and adjust to online play. No offense but from what I have seen/read, your gonna get eaten alive online at 50NL +. Try lower first and practice BRM.
As for live, take a break first of all. Then study some more and look at your mistakes, honestly and without ego. Is ther no 1-2 games near you? This would give you an extra 50% of buy ins and would allow you to play with some sort of BRM.
Of course the other option is to play me online, I'd even give you 1.5:1

The embolden is called variance and this example isn't even that bad. This is why you need to have good bank roll management in order to succeed in poker. Unless you're Stu Ungar.
Online is an entirely different beast. If you are making bad plays and tilting at $300 NL Live. Stay the hell away from $100NL online!
$1-2/$1-3 games at the casino are the lowest games and get the lower skilled players. At $100NL online at ACR you will be playing against higher tier players (Like Dusty Schmidt)

Losing one all-in pre isn't even a big deal. Imagine losing 12-14 BI in 3 days with AA/KK/AK all-in preflop.... That just happened to me. Now do you understand variance? Poker has big upswings and downswings (that's variance), especially when you start playing at much more difficult stakes than 1/3 live where your skill edge decreases.
1/3 live is the same as 5 cent blinds online. I strongly suggest against depositing on ACR and going to 100NL. I'm not trying to be mean, but you will get crushed. Really really badly. 100NL online is very tough; many people don't ever reach it and become a winning reg there. To think you can just jump into 100NL online is insane. 100NL online is the equivalent of like 10/20 ($2000 buy-in) live in terms of skill.

I think OP is going to get smashed at every stake on ACR he should play 5NL full ring on Bovada to start. The anonymous tables will probably feel more natural since he started live.
Also, no shit you are getting smashed with top pair hands when you 2x pot bet flop. You get 0 value from one pair hands you crush and only get called by better or take 60/40 flips against draws. Its terrible

Since you know it all. Here is a question for you. I want to know what you would do.
1-3 Live.
AQ in Early Position
I raise to 15 and get 2-3 callers.
Flop comes out Qd, 10d, 5s
So what do you do? Check it down? Bet out 15 from early position and risk getting re-raised?
My normal technique here is to bet out 15-20. If I get called I usually check the turn. Regardless. If opponent bets 20-30$ on the turn. And the pots already over 100$ its almost as if I have to call. If I don't make two-pair by the river or a set it is a very scary situation in 1-3 live. I can either bet out 25 and risk getting raised. Or I can check here and usually opponent will bet of course it all decides what the turn and river are. If another diamond comes out it makes the board difficult. If a jack falls it could mean someone made a straight. 1-3 is hard and top pair top kicker is a shit hand as far as I'm concerned.
BTW: I'll be posting a graph of my BR and results for 6 max 0.50 - 1.00 online

Don't bet dollar amounts, bet by pot size so bet 2/3rds pot on this flop. If you get raised you should shove or fold if you are 100bb deep to start the hand. This kind of depends on villains image and if he raises draws on this flop. Also, do we hold the Ad? Doesn't change a ton but it may make flatting a raise sometimes ok.
Always betting blank turns and depending on how much we have behind I may just check/call blank rivers. If we are against a big fish I may just shove, once again villain dependent.
