i'll do my best to advise you, but this is an area i am no expert. i like to run 100%/50% in ratio in full ring. numbers like 20/10, 18/9, etc. therefore, there is a lot of limping behind limpers with a decently wide range, looking for big heroic flops. you get paid down low, and can scoop orphan pots fairly easily on the flop. but, you dont isolate fish much. with all the players calling light, i feel this is better for me, but far from the standard advice you will get from the experts here playing higher levels (those who will forget more about poker than i will know). so, bear that in mind. the discrepancy between UTG and the button wont be as great, if at all.

again, the top is the first part of last year. no positional awareness whatsoever, and a 5ish/100 between 10 and 25NL. however, the bottom is the last four months, variance/bad play ridden. better positional numbers, but not a lot of winning...at least not like the top.

so, you be the judge of how important "positional statistics" are. POSITION is important. but, i dont know that those numbers in PT are AS important as everyone wants you to believe (please understand what i am saying here). this year, i am running more like the top half again, and am coincidentally on a heater. hmmm.

if you still want "tips" on where to open up, i can tell you what i like to do, but i think most people are better off reading Sauce123's 6max philosophy to 3betting and isolating. that transfers EXTREMELY well into full ring because of all the nits. and, i AM wider from late position, believe it or not, but dont do it all the time.

hope that helps a little.
