I am losing money in the blinds

[cat923]

In trying to clear the Party bonus I had a rough day yesterday. When I reviewed Poker Tracker stats the entire loss came in the blinds with the the big blind loss four times larger than the small blind loss.

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what this means. Do you mean you fold your blinds so often that your BB and SB totals finish in the negative? Do you get involved with your BB and SB hands and lose with them? Defend too much? Please elaborate..

When I look at the position stats on Poker Tracker every position was positive except for the big blind where I lost $145 and the small blind where I lost $34.

4 off the button was a minus $48 with a net loss of $133. Of course some of the other postions offset these losses.

I do not know what I am doing wrong, but I have to fix it.

Under position stats, are you talking about the "Net Amount" column or the "Diff w/o Blind" column? If you are talking about the first, then that is completely normal. Everyone loses money when you include the actual blind. If you are talking about the second then yes you have some big big holes to fix.

The difference w/o stats are minus 90.89 for the BB and minus 25.42 for the small blind. For the month to date it is minus $25 in the BB and minus $198 in the SB.

This is just a two day sample, but I am doing something wrong that did not occur in the past.

In a 34K hand sample since the first of the year I am plus $676 in the BB and plus $128 in the SB.

Thanks for the replies. I think that I have to tighten up considerably on my SB play. That appears to be the big leak.

The BB loss appears to be just bad luck. I sustained big losses on KK pockets, had straights and trips lose to flushes, and flushes to boats on the river.

Oh, the sample size nazis will be here any min now.

Completely off-topic, but how funny would it be if they had their own t-shirts?

2 days worth of small blinds isn't going to be a big number of hands. Take a look at the actual hands that lost you money here, but most likely this is variance.

and did you check your poker tracker stats to see if you were dealt any good hands in the blinds and lost a big hand or two with them?

Or, have you just been defending with junk.

I love pt, because all that info is available to you if you look.
