10NL Giving it another try... #3.. 3k hand checkup

[TerryToma]

I'm going to try to grind with rakeback with my roll left over from a few years back.. I've got enough to stake both me and my little brother for 25 buyins each.. I had never really tried 10NL prior to this, I was always at 25NL or above (usually 50 or 100NL prior).

So far i've tried to play tag with what I remember from my old style of play.. I dont quite have the skills to beat what used to be an easily beatable field.. now it seems that everyone at the table is grinding it out as well, and being TAGGs..

My brain isn't quite where it used to be in terms of poker training, reads, and ability to multitable (I am at 7 tables)..

Also I'm trying poker-tracker 3, which isnt quite set up as I used to like it, it seems like it has less data on the table at default.. so I'm getting used to that as well.

So far I'm down 1.5 buyins after 2922 hands, per pokertracker. One of the buyins was nuts vs second nuts, and my others are essentially overplaying overpairs on vs nits with higher overpairs..

I'm open to general suggestions re: fulltilt, 10nl, the state of the game, and what sort of style of play is best now-a-days. I used to be a disciple of Renton back in 2006.

My stats thus far:
18.8/11.06, W$WSF 43.63 WTSD 20.99 W$SD 55.06, AF 3.77, AFq 53.98, 3bet 2.85, fold 3B 75, Att to steal 44.55, fold BB to steal 70.27, fold SB to steal 87.5

Any obvious leaks or comments?

Too small of a sample size... Possibly stealing the blind too marginally. Especially at this limit... Though if people are calling loose, obviously good play there.

Sample size is small to say anything about you winrate but enough to have some ideas about some basic stats. Here is what i think (I assume you play full-ring);

VPIP/PFR: 19/11
The gap between VPIP and PFR is too wide which means you are limping and/or calling opens with too many hands. You can play anywhere between 13/11 to 19/16. It depends on your style, fold more or raise more but definitely limp less.

3bet: 2.85%
This is a little tight I think. You just don't need to 3bet the same range against every opponent. If the opponent opens a wide range and doesn't like to fold to 3bets then you also can 3bet wider. Or say you spot a guy who folds to 3bets 80% of the time, go 3bet him with your suited connectors.

Fold to 3bet: 75%
You can also call wider against loose 3bettors. And against tighties who 3bet rarely you will get paid more often with your sets so when offered good implied odds you can setmine with all your pocket pairs...

But don't forget that you need a good sample size for 3bet stats to become predictable.

Fold to steal
Seems like you defend a lot especially from BB... No need to defend with hands you will be uncomfortable playing post-flop with. Especially when you'll be playing out of position.

These are my thoughts and can very well be wrong in many ways so feel free to correct me...

Thanks for the tips, I need to add back in the 3bet with sc's; I forgot about that play.

I do tend to not believe blind stealers, so that shines through on my stats. I have since played more hands and moved back to 25NL, buying in full and I have been playing much better. You can see my 10k hand checkup here:

You will note that at about 5k i remember how to play poker, it took some time adjusting to the new mostly tagg and weak/tight opponents.
