i\'m TAG but i\'m still in the red help!!
 

I'm TAG (some could classify me as LAG or TAW) but i'm very much so in the red over 10k+ hands at 0.5/1 full ring.

VPIP 22%, PFR: 8%, W$WSD: 55%

I don't bluff or anything. What am I doing wrong?!?

Are you kidding? This is way too little to go on. Have you read the FAQ? There's also a nice discussion of stats here if you have specific stats questions. (Yours aren't horrible, FWIW, but it's way too little information.)

Analyzing your game is more than getting the right stats. You need to make sure you're making the right decisions. Have you read any books? Do you reply to hands here? Do you think about why you make your decisions?

You obviously need some work, but no one is going to give you any magic pill.

Look out for sample size nazi's. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Seriously, don't get too worked up. Numbers won't necessarily tell you if your playing well. I had 20k hands and was only up about .6BB/100 and was freaking out. I mean isn't 20k hands a lot? Well, not really. Here's what you do, the next time you get a hand that you're a little stumped as to what to do, write down the hand number and post it. Then, respond to 4 or 5 other hands, get flamed, have your fragile ego crushed, and say ok. Then repeat the process. You will get better and you won't have to worry about your WR.

(Also, post this in the designated stats thread.)

Probably lots of things. Most likely, you lack a broad conceptual base onto which solid strategy can be built. Citing "I don't bluff" is a large indication of this weakness.

This is almost exactly what I was going to say. When the OP says "I don't bluff" as if that were the be-all end-all of poker strategy, that tells us more than any stats post could.

The OP needs to read more and participate in hand threads.

Probably lots of things, but it's hard to tell based on the information you've provided. I'd suggest that you dump some of the more marginal hands that you're playing until you know for sure that your postflop play is up to snuff.

Well if he's Weak-Tight I can't imagine what's wrong.
