well to be honest, big pots are a problem...I can't let go of them

And yeah, I agree that I'm too tight but as I said I can't see where to loosen up too much.

I have started putting Axs and sc's into play more in later position but don't feel comfortable raising sc's still as I don't really see the value of something like 67s when you hit the flush though I will sometimes raise Kxs in CO or button if limped round to me.

I have started raising most pp's when it's limped or foldd round to me and mixing up my range by raising even down to 22 utg once I am getting too much respect.

I am having trouble 3-betting things like AK/AQ/AJ in any position as I don't want to go getting into a big pot with them oop or when I may be dominated (though that doesn't really impact my VP$IP I guess), and I am definatly having troubles deciding whether to play broadway hands. I may get something like QJs in mp and decide to play it but then it's raised before me and I'm likely to toss it depending on the player....unsuited versions I am most likely to toss pre.

I have tried to open up more, using NL:T&P hand chart as a guide for what I feel comfortable with, and even made a conscious effort this month to open up more yet my VP$IP and pfr stats are pretty much the same as they were last month at 12k hands.
