Please help me evaluate my play

[firedawg]

I have been playing at Party for about 4 months. I caught really good early, made $600 at .5/1 and a little at 1/2. Tryed 2/4, got cocky, busted out. Went back to my early weak-tight ways. Back up by $400. It's not enough. I feel a like there is a big hole in my game. Here are my #'s after 10k

VPiP - 28.47 (30.00 at .5/1) (23.44 at 1/2)
PFR - 7.09
VPiSB - 40.23
Folded SB to steal 60.12
Att to Steal - 11.12
Won$WSF - 32.11
BB/100 - 2.34
Went to SD% - 35.51
Won$ at SD - 49.47

Aggression
Preflop - .30
Flop - 2.33
Turn - 2.90
River - 2.92

I know i see the flop a bit too much, I don't Att to steal blinds at all unless I actually planned on raising.

Here are my basic hands

Any PP, Raise with AA-10, limp the rest. Raised or not.
Any Broadway, Suited or unsuited.
J-10 suited
Any ace suited.A-10 or maybe 9.

I don't play stuff like K-x suited, should I?
I don't play suited connectors at all(unless in the SB, unraised, Should I?

Also I fold to a river bet 61%. Since I don't play a lot of Suited cards, am I folding some winners?\

I play PP to the Turn, if no set etc. I fold, Good?

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it.

And this is probably why.

QJo in ep is a throw away. So is KJo (though it's closer). So is A9o. Unsuited broadway cards look better than they are.

Pf raise number are a bit low, though not anemic. Still, you are probably calling too much preflop, and not doing enough raising and folding. What do you do with KJs, and KJo? Limp both? Raise the former and fold the latter.

Thank you very much, I still was wondering about suited connectors, it seems a lot of good players play them, I hear they are very valuable at loose tables, but I don't see it. Anything?

It looks like you are generally way too loose in EP and too tight in LP. Use some of your winnings to buy some good books on small stakes hold'em. It will be a good investment...

Per the SSHE starting hand charts, T9s and 98s are playable from MP on, and in late position you can go down to 54s in an unraised pot.

it's also important to be able to throw them away when they don't hit

I plan on buying SSH tomm. I just don't see how people can keep their VpiP under 30 playing 45s in LP. And how about raising 10% PF, raise 1/2 of what you play, That;s a lot, Medium PP? 9-10s, A-xsuited? SSH explains these things? Thanks again guys, sorry to be a pain.

[bergh]

If there are a lot of limpers you can also play suited one gappers.

[itsmesteve]

there's plenty of folks on the board who raise WAY more than 10% PreFlop (tho i'm not [yet] one of them). It's mostly about position/reads from what i've gathered. some of said raising discussed.

i'm sure you can find more if you search, good luck.

My VP$IP is slightly above 20 at .5/1, which I guess is a bit on loose side - but I think I follow the SSH guidelines pretty much.

Your PF raise will probably approach 10% if you start open raise your hands in LP. I raise TT from all positions. I only raise smaller pocket pairs if I have a reasonable chance to isolate weak players.

I only play hands like 45s when I can expect 3 other players in an unraised pot, so a lot of times I just throw it.
