Default Re: comments welcome on my progress so far

Yeah pokerstat has vpip:
Folded preflop/preflops played: 72.71% (9,743/13,399)

Did not fold preflop: 27.29% (3,656/13,399)
Voluntarily put money in preflop: 19.71% (2,641/13,399)
Went to showdown after seeing flop: 29.72% (1,065/3,584)

Paradise is full of loosies and I play too tight sometimes and want to improve my game when I'm playing against LAG's. My normal strategy is just to let them be the aggressor and bet my hands for me. I know that I'm not getting all the value from some of my better hands, but I'm working on that.

I'm really not bankrolled for 1/2 (proper play anyway instead of playing too tight), but I started at .50/1.00 with only $30.
I know the "did not fold preflop" number is kinda high, but it took a lot of hands for me to learn to tighten up and it was at 29%.
I like to think I am always learning. I own poker academy pro, turbo texas hold em computer sims and have played countless hands on them and I am also very well read (many poker books digested many times) but I beat myself up too much when I lose. I know I gotta get over that. Anyhow, thanks for the input guys and I love the info shared at this site.
