I have been playing online poker for two years now, but except for some occational SNG's and freerolls I've only played low limit (0.5/1 up to 2/4). Took a break from poker some months ago, and decided to try NL when I came back.

Since I haven't really "learned" NL poker (have only read some books on limit) I basically tried to tighten up my play, not risking my stack on TPTK hands, but of course playing for others stacks as often as possible. Also I have been stealraising a bit more, to mix it up and get better payed with my better hands.

It seems to have been working pretty well, but since I'm not really sure what I'm doing , I'd like your help on looking at my stats. Maybe I've just been lucky (somebody, Fnord?, stated 10k hands isn't long term, and I believe that's true).












Also, if you have any advice on how I can better adjust my play better to NL I'd be grateful.

(if my English is incomprehensible, it comes from me suffering from being Swedish... )

 Your VPIP seems a little high, just make sure you're not leaking preflop. Your PFR is fine but still it is low for a 20% VPIP. I'd cut down on calling raises with certain hands.... which I'm not sure what certain hands.

seems very similar to my stats, except i raise all PPs from all positions. That will bring your PFR to closer to 10% rather than 7-8%. give it a try, it works. especially at tight tables.
