so fold KQ utg?

I have been consciencly (sp?) working on getting my vpip down and my pfr up but i find it really hard to play less hands.

I've also been actively trying to be more positionally aware and steal more. Over the last 10K hands or so my ats is 38%

I think lately I've been calling too many raises with suited connectors and weak broadway hands trying to out flop the guy. I should prob just fold these hands and tighten the fck up o_0

I really don't want to be a 10-8 nit playing 15 tables, is that the only way to win here?

Holy small blind batman, tighten the fuck up! Look how much you're loosing from that position. Granted, you will be a loser here in the long run, but it should never be this bad. Stop the bleeding! I realize at this level there will be a lot of opportunities to limp behind with good drawing hands. Know what the true value and odds of playing those hands are and don't overplay them, which I have a feeling you're doing.

Also, there's nothing wrong with being a 10/8 nit at 5NL as long as you're actually playing poker instead of being a super weak-tight auto-nit. You will be shocked what these guys call down with. Hit a hand, take them to value town. I doubt you know how to play even 10% of your hands postflop, let alone 18%. Learn to play tight, then start adding hands from the button out.

No and yes. KQ is still profitable to raise utg at 5nl. Calling raises with sc's and weak broadway hands and trying to 'out flop' someone is definitely not. Why would you mimic a player you are owning when you're the preflop raiser by playing fit or fold post flop after calling?

You can be a lag at fr, but being someone who is 19/9 is not lag.
