I multi table about 9 at a time so obviously I don't have lots of decisions to make, but I only play a very close type of hands.
En general the only hands I play are ATos+, 22+, and when in the right situation KTs+, but for the most part that's it, is this way too tight? I do average a good ptbb/100, but should I drop more tables and open up?
my stats run about 10/8...

I play full ring micros like that and don't have any problems. I think it's perfectly normal especially considering you're doing 9 tables.

you're probably playing 6m and he's probably playing FR
I could be wrong

I think that too.
I think it is possible to beat 6 Max Micro stakes playing that tight even at 6 max, although far from optimal obviously
The thing I notice about his post was, he mentioned his hand range as a general, and not positional.
I think playing that tight, I would be playing like AK and any pair utg. Adding a few more hands UTG + 1, then A10s at the bottom of my range middle pos. Then open up on in the cut off, and really widen my range on the button.
That isn't a great description, but it is a better way of thinking than just having a general non positional hand range imo.

I don't know,.... I don't play nearly this conformed. I mix it up quite a bit but of course it's all table dependent. I usually only run 4 at a time though, any more than that and I feel I'm missing out on alot of oppurtunities. I might open with 4-7s in MP,... it depends,.. same goes for 3-betting in position - - it 'depends' but for sure I'm mixing it up on occassion.
I put in a session earlier this evening and played like a LAG-tard for the first few orbits. After that stuff like QQ+ was getting paid off huge. Each time I'd get a good run of cards I was sure to find at least one opponent who wanted to prove otherwise.
I don't know how you play,.. well perhaps just a bit from reading this here. You say your win rate is good so I guess it's working for you. Personally I do things differently but that's the good thing about poker.

im gonna assume you're fr'ing and not shorthanded because shorthanded that is way too tight.
for fr thats a little tight but it all depends on the table dynamic and what your feel is for that table. if you're at a table full of stations you're going to want to wait for a hand and sell some tickets to value town. but if your table is full of weaktighties then you can probably get away with making some well-timed bluffs/semi-bluffs.

Yeah FR. I play 6 tables at 6-max and 9 at full ring. Figured one table per person works. At six max I am uber loose though, rake kicks your ass at that level.

you should be opening about the same range from BU and CO in FR as you are in 6m

hmm why are you calling so much preflop
I can understand 17/14 or 19/16
well my gap between VPIP and PFR is 4 and I think I can fold instead of cold-calling a little bit more

This is way to tight. If I just look at the numbers I would take you as a rock. I am no expert by no means and pretty new to the game.
I am at around 20-22 / 13-14 at FR.
I am more of a L-TAG because I switch it up and might limp in depending on placement and steal blinds from very tight players.
Fairley unpredicatable... But when you sit out 10 straight hands and raise 3x blind a hand. Better hope there is a fish there because only person you are getting a call from are high pockets and AK's etc. So I think you might be leaving a bunch of money on the table and putting yourself in a situation where you will be going against a good hand with a good hand a lot.
While it can be profitable playing tight and might be best way if doing tons of tables.
Not my style so worst person to comment on this. I know how to play against a 10/8, not play as one. While I go into a 10/8 type of mode will change it to more of a hyper aggresive type. If I have the Nut on some one I will bet and next time check bet or get him to keep betting if he is tight-aggresive and bet pre-flop.
Maybe try to add in a decent suited lower connecters at the right time or try to make it look like you have A K suited or play with somthing similar.
Again no expert just rambling...

Forget about optimum stats, play your table and maximize each hand.
I ran 12/10 at 2NL 6-max and was 25BB/100 for my last 15k hands 9-tabling.

you are forgetting the fact the average 2nl player doesnt really pay attention to anything at the table other than their cards. you can sit out 3 orbits and raise and get callers.
