Play fewer hands, fewer 3bets against early position, fold more post vs aggression.
It depends on what you want from Poker if its fun then losing $100 in a year is nothing, Study GTO opens these charts are free. Tighten up your ranges and go to a nit 4% 3-bet stat.
If you earn another $100 from other means this does not include muggins or bank robberys BTW deposit spend 1 hour on study then 1 hour play. focus play one table until the concepts start to make more sense and develop your strat. Poker is one of the most simple yet complex games.
Good luck I will try and link a video of a MSNL pro who played one hundred thousand hands at 2NL and booked over $500 in profit so it can be done.
I played 100 000 hands at 2NL just to prove them wrong NeviR Poker on You Tube posted 1 month ago.
Good Luck.
The 30/24/14 stats can be profitable so Im more intrested what is your strategy postflop
You have high 3bet but your redline is trash. It means you aren't winning your 3bet pots enough. Are you checking back flops alot? You rarely double barrel?
Your won with showdown is trash also. It probably means you call too much to showdown.
So 2 parts you need to work on, stop calling and playing so passively. Start cbetting/double barreling more.
Volume is super low for zoom/1year. You can get this much volume in a week or less.
1 aspect newbies miss all the time.
They forget to valuebet, they like to check/call even with nutted hands. This is just wrong.
Learn to bet bet bet with good hands, strong hands and nutted hands.
Learn to thin valuebet rivers.
Learn to bet/fold. Most opponents aren't aggro enough to bet/raise without a monster hand.
So really learn the bet and fold button.
The easiest way to play and learn is play like a nit first to learn the game.
It means you literally only play super strong hands. You fold every other hands.
This strategy loses you the least amount of money and only stack fishes to balance off the losses.
This strategy only works as a beginner that only wins you super small amounts if any.
Once you move up the stakes, you need to be aggro to fight for pots.
But it's one of the best way to learn because you don't lose that much anymore
First off all I am very glad to see you are trying your best at 2nl!
Learning and trying is the cheapest way (besides free play) on 2nl.
Their are already some good tips here. Play tighter, call less vs 3bet and 4bet and 3bet less your self.
Try to learn the spots where you are the first person to raise and you have one caller (CO vs BB or Btn vs BB). These are spots where you should win A lot of small pots and win some money. Try to avoid big pots out of position.
If you want to learn quickly you could get some coaching (I could also help). Poker is a fun game and it is possible to get better.
Good luck!

I think the 500$ was before rake, from my understanding.

He won 308 with a 92 rakeback, 10.8 bb / 100.
Thanks for posting this video!
Yes, you should quit it.
Or at least you should revise your plan with poker.
If it was: let's **** some arses: it's probably okay, but if it's: Let's **** the world, ... no way!
You shouldn't try to **** the world.
You are so far off to **** the world that you should probably quit it.

What... 10.8 bb/100.
YES!!!
So it was a trick? Ah, you poker players... always a trick in your mind.
So, nothing is real. It's all fake. YES!!!!!
So likable!
It was a trick, wasn't it?
So cool! So poker-like!
