Hallelujah, after a year or so of playing poker I have seen noticeable gains from not letting my opponents be able to put me in a range of hands. I used to be about a 14% VPIP and a 5% PFR at full ring play. I was running about 6BB/100 at $100NL.

Since moving myself to a roughly 22/8 game, I have slightly more than doubled my win rate over a similar sample size. I still think I could still stand to raise a bit more/abuse position but I am still tweaking my game.

I don't know if this holds true for anyone else but it's just funner to play a looser style. Seeing more flops, get more action on made hands (giving action to get action was a bit of an adjustment). It gets you thinking more and improves all your skills. Anyone else gone through a similar transition?
