I have been doing that as of late, and i am going up now, I'm less liker to play the crap hands now... And moved my hand range to 1010 A10 AJ AQ AK AA KK QQ JJ JK JQ QK JK 10K 10Q 10J, And any PP now, so back to the starting hands:deal:, later on i may start with Ax.Like everyone has said, you really need to cut back on some of the less premium hands, especially since you are playing at the micro stakes. You also need to raise more of the hands you play. In some situations it isn't a bad thing at all to raise your suited connectors or your medium suited aces. You really need to stop completing in the small blind. That looks like a huge leak in your game. Your sample size is really small, you do need to play a few more thousand hands before your stats will mean much more than that.
Ok, well UTG i try to keep it to AK AQ ss os, and i am also trying to become more positionally aware. And i do watch who calls when i am UTG..You're better off adding lower suited connectors to your raising range than Ax, kidkvn. Also, not all the hands you listed are good for raising in EP, because they are easily dominated. Don't just raise more hands, also fold more hands.
I see your vpip and pfr are highest utg at 6max (position 3), I guess you are happy to raise many hands before anyone has entered, but cautious after someone else has entered the pot...I have this tendency also (not to that extreme), trying to become more positionally aware.
Ok, well UTG i try to keep it to AK AQ ss os
Yep with ss and os.I guess by ss and os you mean suited and unsuited? Your stats utg are 36/24...if you play all pairs and AQ+ thats only ~8% of starting hands.
Ok, will do.Alright, how about you erase the ones you have and start from scratch. Otherwise you'll be combining stats from different playing styles and it won't tell us much.

P.S i am also buying in for the max now after last night
Ace-rag will never be profitable
I hear that, i am doing so.HI kidkvn,
The stats in your last table are looking better, but you still need to get your VPIP and PFR stats closer. Still need to raise more of the hands that you are limping with. Have a look at each position and at everyone of them you shold be looking to have a PFR of at least 50% of your VPIP at a bare minimum.
Yep, 2nl, yeah found that out the hard way on AK .. True it's hard to good hands on the button.Hey, i moved up from 5nl FR not too long ago after making the 20BI's i needed there, thought i'd post my pos stats for you to get a rough idea of what they should start to look like over a larger sample, my UTG stats (pos 6) are maybe too loose but i just had a quick look and it's mainly b/c i suck at getting good hands in position and instead get dealt them utg a lot lol
Hope this helps a little, and if any more knowledgeable members see any holes then point them out please b/c i've got the impression that they're not too shabby so it might point a few things out for me lol
Oh, and your playing 2nl atm aren't you?? If so then i wouldn't plan on using your table image too much, only against the nitty regs (if there are any there) who you have a few hundred hands on, the rest of the fish don't know/care about their own image or anybody elses so don't think that just b/c you haven't played a hand for 2 orbits that you can raise with trash b/c you'll get callers everytime lol, and don't then fire 3 barrels b/c with your tight image you must have a hand right?? wrong lol bottom pairs look you up a lot more than you'd think
Good luck
I know, and do so.From experience, I would say that you are playing too many hands. If there has been a raise infront of you I would not play A10, AJ, JK, JQ, JK, 10K, 10Q, or 10J....and sometimes I wouldn't even play QK. I have seen A10 and AJ get beat way too many times by AK and AQ.
I would have to say hes right, just find someone with a big stack at a table and you will see them raise with Ax, and for as many times i folded Ax i wished i had played them.My stats disagree, if it wasn't for 2 hands in particular where i had the right odds and equity to make a call and lost on the good side of a flip, then i'd be up about $30 from ace rag, i've made about $45 from Ax suited as well so they can be played, you've just got to be careful and know when your beat imo. Play them for 2 pair or straight/flush value in the right spots and they can be hugely profitable at the micros where people stack off with AK/AQ/AJ all the time.
