30k hand stats @ .50-1 time to move up?

ugh, well i dont think i have been running that well, people beat .50-1 for 4-5bb/100 all the time THAT is running well.
i have VERY good game selection my raising problem preflop is im doing to much cold calling instead of reraising in late position, time for me to start capping it more even with hands like A-J suited in late posistion if i am to get to 7+ percent preflop raising and raising little pocket pairs on the button etc
i think im gonna give it 5k more hands at .50-1 and then 10k hands at 1-2
the part of my game that concerns me the most is stealing/defending the blinds i have HORRID luck and ill try to steal a blind only for them to call and then hit bottom pair on the flop and call me down
i played 400 hands earlier after making some adjustments and my preflop raise percentage went to almost 8 percent more blind stealing and reraising in late postion being the main change i found that UTG i raise 7.5% and on the button i raise 5.1% so that is obviously my problem MORE raising in late position even if it means making it 3-4 bets with hands like A-J K-q suited [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Ugh, you don't have cap or even 3-bet with AJs/KQs in order to get your PFR to what you think is an acceptable level. Throwing your chips away to have attractive stats is pretty useless.

curious in every position but the blinds my went to SD is 31% or higher so im confused as to how this can be raised overall to that level whithout playing even more hands out of the blings and playing them to the showdown [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'm not sure if I copied this link right. Feel free to fix it. It's trying to be the thread a couple of weeks back started by Falcon900EX "how to raise my pfr%"

Read the FAQ. Your win at showdown is too high. Read the FAQ. This probably means that you're folding too many winners and that you're running well. Read the FAQ.

im NOT running well, i AM folding a few winners i waited till 30k hands to avoid the "its a streak" replies after looking at the FAQs i see im 1-3 percent low going to SD and 2-4 percent high with won$@SD but the one that is sticking out at me now is won$ when saw flop it should be 28-32 and mine is 24.5 or so that going with the low went to sd and high won$ at sd says im folding a few winner and my winrate should be 3+bb/100 now i just have to figure out what street im to tight on [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] easy to figure out where im not aggro enough its all of them lol

Aggression numbers can be very deceiving. They do not necessarily mean you are aggressive or passive. They are calculated by fold+raise/ call. This means if you fold as opposed to calling a lot it ups your aggression number. You are folding way too much and have low aggression. This is a really bad combo. You will get eaten alive at higher limits playing that weak tight.

You need to work on counting outs. Reread that chapter in SSH. You should have odds to draw way more often than you're giving yourself credit for. (Throw away WLLH if you are reading that.) You're also getting bluffed out of pots far more than you realize. Look out for players raising to pump draws or for free cards. Folding the best hand when someone is pumping a draw is a huge mistake that I suspect you are making frequently. Lastly when you think you have the best hand bet and raise or check/ raise. Your aggression is too low for me to believe you are giving your hand enough credit for being ahead enough of the time. Don't always play wait and see BET!

yeah thanks droolie good advice gonna be hard but i need to be 25% more aggressive accross the board and it looks like i need to reread SSH for the 3rd time since Xmass

Droolie is right.

The other thing I would like to add, that I think would help you right away is the good a couple of good old simplistic rules stolen right out of HEPFAP(almost cliches at this point) which applied in context will improve your game.

1. If no one has yet bet, but your hand is worth a call, then bet yourself.

-Even in micro-limit multi-way pots this is applicable. betting gives you another way to win (making people fold).

-If you are in LMP it may end up giving you the button on the turn.

-You may thin the field enough to pick up a pot on the turn.

-In some situations yoiu may have the best hand.

2. If someone bets and you are going to call, consider raising.

-Which is not to say raise everytime. But with many hands depending on the situation, there is often a strong argument to be made for raising. (this could be a thread in itself.
