redline!
In an effort to sort out my redline i am going to cut back to 4 tables for a while to improve my post flop game. As you can imagine moving from turbo SnGs to cash many adjustments need to be made the chief of these is playing turns and especially rivers. For those of u who dont have pokertracker your redline is the line at which you win or in my case lose when not seeing a flop. For almost everyone thier redline goes level or slightly down unless they play 1 table or something. I have a steadily rising all in line so if i can level off my redline i should be able to win at a good rate maybe 4 or 5BB/100. Peoples thoughts on thier own redlines and strategys they use to not commit too much if a hand is not going to showdown. This seems like my biggest leak in cash games and could well come from playing too many tables or not being aggressive enough.

To clarify, your red/green lines aren't down to whether you see a flop or not but rather whether you get to showdown (i.e. getting to the river and showing down a live hand vs another).
Your green line only includes hands shown down. This is the line that will take into account the big hands where you make/lose buy ins, and also takes into account the hands where you score big value on a hand over multiple streets. As such, it's this line that's most crucial and will reflect (in the long term) whether you are a profitable player or not.
Your red line is less important, especially at the stakes you are playing. It takes into account every hand you fold before getting to the river, so all your lost raises pre when you're 3bet, your lost 3bet bluffs, lost cbets... etc. It does also include smaller pot wins such as taking down blinds and taking pots uncontested.
It's far more important for you right now to focus on leaks in your overall game than to worry about that red line imo. My red line was like -$120 this month and it doesnt phase me because my green line was +$240.
grrr 4 tabling dosent stop my KK losing to K3 suited
