I feel a bit guilty 
I started loosening up again, except this time much smarter.
Basically what I’m doing now is only playing position. I find it extremely easy to fold all medium/good hands from the blinds to a raise, unless I have good reads and/or other reasons not to fold. I also play nitty from early positions, so that my VPIP=PFR=7% UTG. However my PFR on the button is up all the way to 30%. Considering the fact that it’s not that often to find yourself in the spot where everyone folded to you on the button at NL2, this means that I open at least 50% of the hands when it happens. I still don’t like playing against limpers (not even talking about raisers), so I guess I’ll need to learn isolating villains at some point in the future. It clearly isn’t a priority right now, though.
And I steal a lot of pots post-flop. Very aggressively and very loosely, with stuff like overcards, even gutshots, etc. I think my reads are much better now, partially because I so often find myself in position against other players.
Anyway, when I say I play more loose, at the same time I’m very careful with marginal hands when my opponent shows any interest in his hand. So I don’t lose much with one pair type of hands anymore. I guess what that means is that I try to steal loosely, but tighten up extremely at the very moment I get the feeling that the hand will go unfolded.
And even though I know 2,500 hands isn’t a lot, I feel so great about the fact that my winrate has grown almost 6-fold from what it was before the first session. This leaves me wondering what is next to happen?

Good job Tomas keep it up! Remember that 2500 hands is not a lot of hands…stay focused on what you are doing and keep on grinding! You clearly are doing a great job so keep it up and stay positive, even when you have a big downswing try and stay positive or…leave the tables
Thanks, Jim. I usually don’t wait for a big downswing to leave the tables
But yea, I know the downswing is waiting just around the corner. Hopefully I’ll deal well with it when it comes.
Good work sir!
Tell that guy (the Downswing)… To bring his friends with him when he comes. He will have a real trouble with us!
