Seeing 19% of flops, raising about 12%, aggression number about 1.25(high for me), thru 2000 hands and losing about 3bb/100. Missing every flop and getting outdrawn on any strong hand.

Also you are trying to get rid of any Ax that may beat your Ace. It also will give you info on the players behind you if you get reraised you can put them on mid to high pocket pair or AQ.
