Getting Killed in the Big Blind

[dacubbie]

After reading "callmeishmael"s stats post regarding 2/4 I came to a few conclusions. First, thanks for all your effort, while I'm sure a few of those players are less then superb players, seeing a few numbers when first starting out a limit are nice. Second, I've decided that I'm playing too tight. Currently a 15.56VPIP. Looking for ways to loosen up, especially on the button. All my other stats are fairly close to the mean except my flop aggression of 3.5 seems to be ridiculously aggressive. Working on that. However, the main cause of concern is my loss from the big blind. I'm currently losing .40bb per hand from the big blind which is way above everyone else. Through 4,000 hands how much of that can I possibly attribute to sample size? Also, does anyone have any suggestions on what to read to help solve my big blind problems? Thanks.

I found this thread in the mid/high section. Hope it helps some.

4000 hands, you've hit the BB 400 times or so. Your sample size is ridiculously small. That means you've lost 160BB. A couple of big hands or big losses in the BB could take a wrecking ball to that number, just don't worry about it.
