Trying to get out of the kiddie pool (stat post)
 

I feel like I'm ready to move up to 1/2. I've played my way up from .25/.50 and .50/1. I'll post the stats the I have from PT to see if it looks like I should hold back, or if I should tweak anything for 1/2.

Couple things you should work on, attempt to steal blinds will have to go up in 1/2 as the games will be tighter, should be about 20-25% at least. Next agression could always go up, but its stil faily good. Your volume put in pot from SB should be at most 35 from what i've read, so you will have to adjust. Your VPIP could be a couple points higher depending on how well you play post flop, i'm still working on that myself.

I agree with you except the 'raise the VP$IP a couple points' comment. 18-19 is what I'd consider perfect, but 20 is acceptable. 1/2 gets a lot tighter than .5/1, you'll be folding more limping hands due to insufficient # limpers.. 1/2 is also more aggro than .5/1, so you'll be folding more limping hands in LP due to EP raises.

OTOH, you can raise ATo on a tighter table, but I'm not doing this enough to make up for all the extra folding I'm doing.

AT is a muck untill MP in my opinion then its a raise. the optimal VPIP for .50/1 if you play really well post flop is around 21 but for the 1/2 you will proboly be where your at now because the game is tighter.

You are more than ready. I really like your numbers

I moved up with stats much worse than that
See ya at the tables.

AT is a muck until LP IMO and only w/max 1 limper
I guess Im tight.
