However, one thing to keep in mind, and one thing that I need to work on, involves not giving low limit players to much credit. Lately I've noticed that I've been doing things like thinking I have way more fold equity than I actually do. Don't overthink things too much; I guarantee you your opponents aren't thinking too hard.
I find myself overthinking many situations... I remember one hand in particular (probably one of the reasons 86s is such a big loser) when I flopped a pair/fd, turned an oesd, played it too aggressively, and 2 ops took me to the mat with tpwk... They really don't fold

HOwever, doesnt it seem odd to you that you are winning the LEAST amount of money from the button?

how is it that your Raise First in % is less from the button than you are from the CO, or from any other position for that matter?

try playing 6 max and work on ur position playing?
try playing increasing VPIP to work on postflop play?
That is the stat that grabbed my attention more than anything... Like I said earlier in my post, let's say 3 people limp in various spots, and I'm chillin on the button with a playable, but not too strong hand, I tend to limp behind with them. I think raising here may be the best play..

I have played very little 6max, but I think it is something I am going to start doing. My postflop play is pretty trashy, I started as a SnG player. I think for my next session I am going to play exclusively 6max and see how it goes.

C-betting is an overrated play and is very easy to overuse. Just do it enough to instill doubt in your opponents (e.g. to have a flop agg of at least 35-40%). If you don't think they are folding 50% of the time, then don't even bet.
This is one of my biggest downfalls... esspecially with AK.. I have ~800 hands on a certain player and my read on him is simple, if he raises pf, he always bets 3/4 flop fo r a cbet, and if he whiffed he will check the turn. I have taken away so many pots from him... I don't want to end up becoming predictable like that. Thanks for the advice, I will try to tone down my cbets so I'm not spewing as much..

Thanks everyone for contributing.
