    Default Playing too much from the blinds?

    Hey folks

    I am a break even player looking to plug some leaks at 10 NL. Attached are my positional stats so far for this month. I think my VPIP/PFR is too low IP. I dont think i play too much from the blinds. If I played 0% id be down $370.35 when in actuality i am only down 37.92. From the blinds i am only playing 22+. I am opening 22+ for 3bb. I am calling to set farm if i can get to the flop for <= .50. I am 3betting with JJ+ against loose players, KK+ against tight. I understand that i could actually improve my winrate by removing hands from my blind range. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    I wouldn't worry about your blind play if you're doing that well. But ultimately, you should not think of your blind range as being static. It should vary dramatically based on the players and how the hand has progressed so far.

    For instance, against the button you should only play premium hands if they play very tight and rarely steal. But if they are very loose or steal a ton, you can flat call or 3bet a lot more hands.

    Also, playing for set value from the blinds can be tough, especially if you wind up in a HU pot OOP. It's fine if the pot is multiway (the more players, the better) but it's very tough to extract enough value in a HU pot when you actually hit your hand.

    Finally -- you could probably be playing a lot more hands in late position.
