How can I go about raising my PFR%?

Look for situations as part of your reasons to raise.

would you give an example of this? that is a situation, rather than just a hand.

Now that I think about it, my PFR's been rather anemic as well. After 28k-odd hands of staying strictly within SSHE's tight chart, I can say with some confidence that it yields a PFR around what the OP has (mine's at 7.19% but I've been loosening up lately and was as low as 6.5%).

While we're on the subject, I'm gonna sneak in a PFR quesiton real quick. I had KJs in the small blind today in a Stars .50/1 game. UTG limped, folded to me. Is this worth a value raise given that we'll be 3 or 2 handed, despite poor position? I only have 14 hands on UTG, and I haven't seen him show down anything unusual (worst I've seen was 97s in the CO which is certainly acceptable). I only had 20 hands on the BB as well, but he didn't give off any obvious flaws in that time either.

I raise KJs in the blinds as my default play.

I do as well to take control. I used to hate being OOP. Now I take control, usually only losing to passives who call down with pocket pairs less than the nuts but better than my hand. As I go up in limits those people will have disappeared, but for now that tactic has worked.

I will raise KJs with one limper from the SB about 100% of the time, unless the limper is a known (beyond much doubt) rock.

This is a situation that I believe demands a follow-up bet on the flop, also, regardless of what falls. Anybody got a good situation where you'd raise this preflop and then check the flop?

I had this same problem myself when I looked over my first 10k logged hands. I'm not sure where you are playing, but the diffrences in tables made a huge diffrence to me going from the crypto .25/.50 to the Party .50/1.

It seems that people respect raises and stealing is easier at .50/1, but that might be beacuse I've opened up from a 18/8 with AF of 2.5(when Eeegah owned me a few times at Stars!) to a 20/10 with AF of 2.75.
