First 10k hands after SSHE
 

I know its a small sample, but these are my stats after reading SSHE. Tell me where I'm going wrong?

Your sample size is so small that your win rate is basically meaningless however...

Raise more preflop.
Play more hands.
Defend your blinds.
Steal blinds.

The most obvious thing is you are too tight. This is true outside of the blinds and in the small blind. You're went to SD is about right but your W$SD is low and I suspect this is because people only go to SD with you when they have a strong hand because you're too tight. You need to loosen up some. It's also possible you are folding some places where you should call (you aggression is possible a little too high).

I'm no expert so take this with a grain of salt.

He's referring to your VPIP of 13.19 which is usually around 20ish

Should I be limping with suited connectors in MP, I tend to play them in very late position with more than 2 limpes in already. I also only play Ax suited in late position with 2+ limpers? Is this too tight?

Re: First 10k hands after SSHE
 

These decisions are very dependent upon the tightness and aggressiveness of the table. For example, in many games I'll limp Axs UTG but in some tight and aggressive games I'll fold that same hand in middle position. There are just so many factors (#of players that have already limped in, likelihood of a raise from behind, postflop play of opponents, etc.) that I can't give you a clear answer.

Referring to your original post, you're definitely playing too tight. I don't think you're even playing all the hands that the SSHE charts recommend. I played strictly by the SSHE charts for a couple of months, and my VPIP was never that low. However, you should be playing even more hands than the charts present if the table conditions are right.

Your PFR should also be higher. I suspect you may be open-limping a lot from middle and late position. If you're the first person to enter the pot from mid or late position, you need to come in with a raise.
