Prolly so. But you'd rather be too tight than too loose.

Post your VPIP & PFR if you're using a HUD.

I have not got a HUD yet...

But I'm up a little bit no much... Just a few stupid calls... But Tightening up on them!

Hold'em Manager & Poker Tracker 3 both offer free trials. Download one of them, and figure out what your VPIP and PFR are. Your steal percentage would be useful also.

But generally for full ring at microlimits, full stacked, I wouldn't play much looser than 20% VPIP. And as a new player, tightening up even more is probably a good idea.

Is it 6max? FR? How is the table playing? Are you card dead? I wouldn't concern myself with how many hands I see, as long as I am playing properly for the table conditions. Some FR tables I run 10/9 and at the same time at other tables 18/16. Just make sure the bulk of your hands are played in position.

I agree with RoTs. Position and hand value will make a difference. Another thing that will make a difference is the range of hands you are playing. If the table is playing a little tight then you might open your range of hands and try to steal every so often. If the table is playing loose then keep your tight strategy. Table play of your opponents will dictate if you should open up your game or keep it tight. Remember that it isn't the number of hands played its quality and the play of your opponents that will effect your ROI in ring games.

11% is alittle to tight to me i play around 25% of the time( depends on the number of people as well. My last play was a 69% of the time but due to only having one other person at the table) ....remember that the rings games blinds don't go up you can take your time and pick at hand that you want.
