I have been playing 1- and 2-table SNGs at the $10 and $20 levels for several months now. I recently purchased PokerTracker and starting collecting hand histories. Based on these, I would appreciate some recommendations on how to improve my play.

Total Hands: 4,345
Vol. Put T$ In The Pot: 18.25
Vol. Put T$ In From SB: 36.38
Folded SB To Steal: 91.40
Folded BB To Steal: 74.34
Att. To Steal Blinds: 35.36
Won T$ WSF: 39.75
Went To SD %: 27.55
Won T$ At SD: 48.40
Cold Call PF %: 0.30
PF Raise %: 12.70
RFI %: 9.62
LwPC: 2.67
Check Raise - % of Possible Actions: 0.87; Flop %: 91.67; Turn %: 8.33; River %: 0.00
Aggression Factor: 2.69 w/PF numbers; 5.13 without

I'm pretty satisfied with my preflop hand selection -- from what I've read, VP$IP of 18.25 is in the recommended range -- but I'm probably raising too often. PF Raise % and Aggression Factor seem way too high. What should I look at to see which hands I should be limping with more often?

My postflop play needs a lot of improvement. I know it's harder to evaluate, but do these numbers show any obvious flaws that I should work on? Are there any other helpful stats I should post?

To get a relevant analysis for stats such as VP$IP, PFR%, etc, you would really need to see them broken up by blind levels, numbers of players left ETC. They are broken up by blind level for you right on the front page, and you can select specific ranges for numbers of players and blinds from the Position Stats tab.
Perhaps some of the stat guru's could suggest some good breakdowns, such as:
Early / Mid / Late: based specifically on blind levels
Early / Bubble / ITM: based on number of players left, and some basis on blind levels

For instance, one of combinations of filters that I like to use: Limit/Blinds more than or equal to 100/200 (which is 50/100 blinds the way PT does it), and number of players remaining between 4 and 5 players. "Crunch Time"

In reply, though, to your overall stats, I find myself a slightly tighter (about 16% VP$IP overall, and 11% PFR) but similarly aggressive. I am less aggressive in the early rounds preflop, but very aggressive post-flop when I hit the flop. In the later stages, I am aggressive pretty much all the time.

If we can come up with some good standards to compare, I'd be happy to offer up my stats to add to the discussion. I have about 600 $20 SnG's (Party) logged with about 41% ITM and 25% ROI.

One bump. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Your numbers look fine. Maybe tighten up a tad. I'm at 16% VPIP in 100/200 blinds.

Ok, thanks. Actually the numbers I posted were for 50/100 since I play on Stars and Benholio said that's the equivalent of Party's 100/200. Maybe I got it backwards.

Anyway, my numbers for 100/200 are even looser; VP$IP 23.73. Perhaps this is the hole in my game I've been looking for. Aren't you supposed to start playing more pots at that point though?
