I think these are closer to what I need to be at. It didn't seem like I lost that much. Yes going to showdown too much. I blame blind stealing and people calling the whole way with big overpairs. :P

In the last hand, the turn fold sucks. If you think you're against AA/KK then fold pre-flop.

My guess is you're limping and completing too much. Probably some post-flop mistakes and just plain running bad thrown in.

...and for what it's worth I steal and defend more often than that.

yes, I defend more than that as well...long term stats for folding BB to steal is closer to 50%. The attempt to steal blinds has normally been in the 10-15% range.

This short term BB/100 means nothing to me..I'm more concerned about the change in other numbers that I'm going for.

last hand: to be honest I thought one of them had to have AA/KK for one of them to cap and then another to cold call the cap. But also look at the size of the pot preflop. If the button hadn't called I probably would have folded it. Then I see the flop and I've got a draw to beat the AA/KK that they probably have...so should I bet this flop, knowing that it's probably going to be 2 more back to me? On the turn the button raises out of no where and the draw just didn't seem profitable anymore considering CO may 3 bet.

I steal 40% of the time.

At 10/20 I am at 45%
At 2/4 I am at 33%
