Alright, so I started my $50 deposit on Pokerstars and have been grinding a little day by day. I've reach just over 1k hands (I know it's not much) and I would like some input please




And Position Stats.



I believe personally I need to stop completing the small blind for 1c with hands like Q3s and 75o just 'coz it's cheap, as it usually always leads to a loss.

Yeah take your own advice on that one as a general rule. Play way more hands then post stats/graph. Until then post HHs and post areas where you're unsure and we'll help. This will be more useful than posting stats and graphs.

The graph and stats are meaningless due to sample size. We can't say anything constructive, because this isn't guaranteed to be representative of your play.

Only thing to add is that hands like Q3s and 75o are pretty poor hands to complete the SB with.

VERY small sample, but you're completing waaaay too much from the sb, you're opening way too much UTG... stop open limping, and fold more to raises.
Right now you have a tendency to play more hands oop than ip. It should be the other way around.

Your UTG open might be fine if you played accordingly from the other positions, but right now you're simply not positionally aware. There is little harm in overcompensating and playing very tight from EP and the blinds, and opening and isolating a lot more from CO and BTN.

Well, I've been raising 3x and 4x BB with all pocket pairs and have been doing the same with AJo and up.

I find that I'm making a lot more money raising with the small pocket pairs rather then limping in. I've been hitting some nice disguised sets which have paid off nicely.

I sit down at a table with $1.20 and leave once it is above $2 when the blinds reach me. It helps a lot with variation, and I can handle having my top set getting rivered as it's no more then 4% of my BR I can lose atm.

I feel like my play has improved a lot but I still need to work on position awareness and also trivial hands like QJo J10o etc in which I'm limping instead of folding OOP or raising in position.

I'm also debating whether to sign up on grinderschool for the $10 as after watching bigspenda's videos on micro limits, it has increased my knowledge and skill massively.
