First of all, a general thanks to everyone for making me aware of PokerTracker. It is the single best thing that ever happened to my game.

After 10,000 hands (about 5,000 each 2/4 and 3/6 at Party), here's the overall information to put my blind questions in perspective:

VP$IP: 20.42 (ranging from 12% UTG to 25% on Button)
VP$IP from SB: 38.22 (42% at 2/4, 32% at 3/6)
VP$IP from BB: 20.02
Fold SB to Steal: 80.0%
Fold BB to Steal: 50.7%
Attempt to Steal: 28.28%
Won$WSF: 31.46%
BB/100 Hands: 3.21
Went to SD: 31.77
Won $ at SD: 54.45
PF Raise: 6.17 (Agg Factor 0.94 incl PF)

Ok, so I'm happy with my results overall and win money from every position ... except my blinds.

I've paid $4221 in blinds (3088 BB, 1133 SB) , but won back only $3011 (2599 BB, 412 SB) leaving me $1200 short (-489 BB, -721 SB). That is, I'm winning money, but not enough to overcome the cost of the blinds.

From PT:
Blind Defense:..Times....Fold%..Ww/oSD%..WSD%..W$SD%
Small Blind.........11........36.36...27.27....36.36...5 0.00
Big Blind............36........33.33...25.00....41.67. ..46.67

I figure I'm too loose in the SB ($1 to complete in 2/4 is just too tempting, but I'm working on it).
My W$WSF is 26.63% BB and 29.19% SB, vs 31.46 overall.
My Went to SD is 25.19 BB and 25.60 SB, vs 31.77 overall.
My Won$at SD is 53.95 BB and 51.40 SB, vs 54.45 overall.

I assume this is a common concern. Other than just tightening down, are there "target" numbers I should be shooting for? I'd like to think I can at least break even in the blinds, or is the blind cost too much to overcome?

Any other comments on the overall numbers?
