    OK, thanks a lot for the advice.

    I was running through a few things on PT last night and noticed that the majority of my losses, nearly 75%, have come from multi-way pots, which probably fits in nicely with what has been pointed out that I call too much instead of raising my hands.

    I also lose a lot of money from the blinds, especially BB. I don't know whether this is because I am folding too much, or I am calling too much because I get a "discount". Will have to keep an eye on it.

    Well, every position that is not a blind has 0 bb/100 baseline. Any profit or loss comes from when you play a hand.

    In the big blind, though, you will run -100 bb/100 if you only fold. Softening this to -50 bb/100 is a pretty solid stat.

    Likewise in the small blind, you will run -50 bb/100 if you never play a single hand from this position. Softening that down to 0 bb/100 is a huge improvement.

    ^^^Which is why a few have recommended that he steal more, not defend his blinds more. IMO, the last thing that he wants to start doing is playing more marginal hands oop.
