Your problem is all the other hands you are limping that you should be either raising or folding. With 29% VP$IP you must be limping all sorts, things like KQ, KJ, AT, and probably suited connectors and suited aces and all sorts of crap.

Well thats not to say don't play these hands, but just dont play so passively. You need to learn about position. Limping Ax suited behind limpers on the button is a fine play. limping ATs UTG sucks unless you are real hot postflop. Raising AJo from 4th position is good, raising it UTG is borderline and many (including me) won't do it.
I typically never ignore pot odds or implied odds. I am very quick and good with math, etc., and find it easy to manipulate the pot.
I think I generally (not all of the time) play the right cards from the right position, but I am finding that, yes, I am very passive when I play these.


Thanks FTR for all of your input. I will post HHs tonight and hopefully I can get some good feedback on my play.
