I think it might be that you are on Poker Stars. I am not at this level but I have found that they are tougher there at the lower levels. I would try another site, I have seen many posts here saying how tough poker stars is.

That sample size is not nearly big enough to tell if you are actually a losing player or not, but there are a few things you could improve. You are playing too tight. Try to increase your VPIP to about 15 and your PFR to about 10. Most of these extra hands will come from late position raises. Your Steal blind % is very low and should probably be upwards of about 25-30%. And yes, the limit games on PokerStars are pathetically tight and difficult these days.

yes, attempt to steal more and you should see a significant improvement.

Make your VPIP and PFraise as close to one another as possible

Ooooh, limit stats.
6handed I like running 25/20
Full ring, I have no idea.
Also, I could see an argument for going to showdown more. But, I'm not really sure as I never had stats for Full Ring.

6max I ran around 22/18 long term. Some people are a little tighter, some a little loser but I believe that to be a good goal.
Fullring I just dont have a significant sample size to say. I'd imagine your vpip might go slightly up but with the games as overall tight as theyve been, a 22/18 is probably still close to ideal. In any case, 10/5 is very bad. Its way to easy to play against. Youre playing your hands face up.
