Here are some of my stats for the various levels I've played at before.

I haven't looked at these in forever, but...am I way too tight?

I think you can definitely open up some, on all levels.

Edit: but I suck.

This will probably help the analysis of my stuff.

I play all pocket pairs, I limp small pairs 99 under, in EP, and raise them in late/mid.

Otherwise I play JTs+ in late position
AJs+ in mid, and obviously in early position AQs+.

I will usually fold AJs+ to a 3-bet preflop, and depending on their stats, I'll CBet with air.

I guess the hardest thing for me to do is to double barrel with air.

seems pretty tight. your attempt to steal is kinda pitiful. steal from the BU with like ATC against nits and TAgg's who don't adjust to blind stealing (which is like 75% of the nit ring population), and like any two cards higher than an 8 and any A against loose fishies, and any cards with potential against solid players (98o, K4s, etc).

i'd stop open limping. i think the advice given in the beginner's digest in that regard is dated. fold 22-66 in EP, raise 77-88 if table conditions allow for it (namely when there isn't much 3betting going on) and raise 99+ anywhere.

your LP range is like oober tight. i know you can beat FR without getting yourself into any spots, but i heavily suggest reading: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...rs-t66631.html.

ATo+ and any two face cards should like always be in your BU raising range, and you can limp behind in LP with all sorts of SC's and one gappers other than just JTs

why is your ATS 20% in FR and 30% in 6m
you realize that if everyone folds to you FR and 6m is the same thing, right?

(actually maybe your ATS should be higher in FR because people fold their blinds more...)

Folding to 3bets with stuff like AJ is good, even AQ is fine. You're crushed most of the time.

You don't need to 2bomb with air alot if you play a wider range, you're going to be adding more hands when you're in position so you'll be able to check back/pot control a ton of shit you otherwise can't bet for much value, plus you can do that with air to balance and then get paid off by worse when you hold med-stength hands, but still bet air for 2 streets once and awhile. All in all it makes you harder to play against.

Stop limping in early position, good regs shit on people like that just by raising 5-6x pre then position raping you because they know your range is 22-77 or w/e and you can't call them down + when you reraise postlfop - i.e. cc c/r with set - you tip the stength of your hand because you're oop. So limp/calling small pairs sucks at 25nl+ (10nl it's probably okay cuz ppl are slightly more retarded)

Open any Axs on BU and CO and position rape blinds.
Open any Kxs vs stations or nits
Open any connectors/suited gappers etc etc. Raise!!!

When you see the blinds are like you (10/7) raise anything with some potential. J7s is an example, or 65o. (I raise it vs anyone though really)

that's all you gotta do, if you just start raising more in LP you'll wind up playing 13/10 or w/e wondering what the fuck you did to make it happen.

Someone could maybe give you a range to work with at first, then you can slowly add more hands, since I think you'll feel like alot is going on at once and be a bit overloaded with decisions when you first starting rasing twice as many hands.
