Win More.

You can do this by guessing preflop which hands are less likely to be winners and folding them instead of putting money in. Some players in this forum are so good at this that they can choose to put money in preflop as little as 17% of the time.

paying less rake would have probably made you more money also...

well, I was down over $400 1000-1500 hands ago but after looking at my session tab carefully I noticed that I won consistently when the average pot was $23. Since I sat down at tables with an avarage pot of $23 I have come back to break even [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would obviously have a larger BB/100 if I wasn't playing on the bad beat tables because of the less rake and my VP$IP for J8s(and similar hands) wouldn't be 100%...

I think you're too loose too. Way too loose.

Hi,
You need to tighten up and play about 20-30% less hands than you are playing now. Aim for 16-20%. If you are like most people who play about 25% preflop, you are playing too many hands up front which is sort of bad. Also you should raise more hands preflop. Aim for 8-12+% based on your style.
One other thing is that you are paying off/going to showdown with too many weak hands.
I do like the 35.8% att to steal blinds. Although it's amazing that you can have such a high number in that category yet only 6.62% pfr.

For starters don't play 2/4 BBJ. With a $0.50 jackpot drop on any raked hand you're going to be hit hard by that alone.

Then you need to be tighter and more aggressive than on a normal table.

No matter where you play you should drop a third of all your hands, and raise preflop half again as much as you do. Read SSH, read posts here about hands, post hands.
