first off, 1000 hands is nothing, so none of these stats really say much.

your VPIP is quite high for full ring games, but it's party's 0.5/1 so i'm sure it's uber loose and passive.

your PFR should go WAY up. try to hit at least 8.

flop aggression can go way up too. are you pumping your quality draws on the flop?

i know 1000 isnt much, but i just wanna get a feel of where im goin here

I thought my PFR was pretty good, the only hands i think i could start raising to improve that are hands like KQo QJo etc... but im not sure how good of an idea that is...maybe from LP only?

I think my flop agression numbers may be a result of the low sample size...i almost always bet my good str8 and flush draws, probably bet my unimproved over cards TOO much after a PFR and i try to check-raise as much as i can with vulnerable top pair type hands.

Thanks for the input...im really interested in what i should be doing to up my pre-flop agression, from what i noticed i seem to be alot more agressive than most of the people at the .5/1 tables to begin with

In a loose table I don't raise KQ, QJ, AT, etc. as much unless I can limit the field or buy the button. You really want to pound them with value raises on suited broadways and TT+.

But yeah, you're playing a few many hands too passivly. It will catch up to you as you move up.

My PFR used to be getting towards 11%, but I dropped couple spots and it's probably closer to 10% now.

Please explain how cr'ing is advantageous here. I thought that you need to protect a hand like this, so you need to lead and bet-out. CR'ing risks giving your opponents free cards. It's good when you want to trap people for more bets with a strong hand, but with a vulnerable hand I thought the most important thing to do is to protect it, and I don't see how cr'ing accomplishes that.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your statement. Exactly what do you mean by vulnerable? Bad-kicker, and/or flushy and/or str8'y flops and/or other?

What i mean is that if i have AK, and flop a pair, with a safe board, ill go ahead and bet it out, i really dont care if i get 3 or 4 callers, but say i have JT and flop top pair with the 10, with a board that could lead to some draws, i'll definitley go for a c/r if i feel that someone will bet the flop...that way those on draws, or over cards are forced to call 2 bets instead of just one and i either take the hand down right there, or thin the field and make my hand stronger. I dont know, thats just how i interpreted that section of SSH...

Recklessly c/ring the flop when the pot is small is a serious leak.

I still bet out on draw heavy boards because aggro players will often go for a free card or value raise allowing me to 3-bet them while only risking a 1 sb cap.
