I play mostly 1/2 and 2/4, so i want my starting hand strait to work for those levels.
Basically, I find my self pushing too many marginal hands post flop when I should be folding all together, I think.
So here's my strait, revised from a post I found here....

I find that when I play to this, im VPIP about 12% and im loosing alot of Suited hands that are playable (J9s, T8s)
Is this too tight preflop? thoughts...
I the other side, I have been doing about 4BB/100 over the last 5K hands, which is better than i have done before, but am i loosing some potential money here on certain situations.
