    I looked at your position stats. They look good. You've done a great job of applying the adages of 'play more hands in position' and 'call less' and it is working well for you.
    My advice is to change nothing and move up to 10nl.
    you're rolled for it, assuming you haven't been withdrawing while generating these profits.

    some ideas to think on:
    you could probably afford to go a little wider from ep, you're about 77+/AK/AQs/AJs right? Staying this tight definitely isn't a leak though.
    At some point you may get into trouble running 24-23 with 8% 3b from the small blind, it's seems very loose. But you're doing fine over a decent sample so don't change it.
    You are probably missing some profitable cutoff and button calling (vs 3b) spots
    I think you are 3betting too much out of the big blind. Then again, you may be specifically targeting sb steals, in which case you have position on your side. I can't tell.

    Hmm... BB 3-betting @ 11%, that's about right for full ring, in my estimation. What would you suggest, daven?

    I think whatever you're doing from the BB is working great!

    If you just folded, you'd lose 100 bb/100, but you're only losing 17! That's like a profit of 83 bb/100 if it was any other position (besides SB). Even though it's your only position with a loss, in a way, it's your strongest position.

    You turn a nice profit from the SB, too (by similar logic that you'd lose 50 bb/100 if you just folded). Your blind play is either on a heater, or you've got some very solid fundamentals that will consistently tilt the players to your right.

    i've been thinking about this a bunch. I don't know if there is an 'about right for full ring' for this stat - numerous ways to skin cats etc. I mean, like i also said in my posts above, i don't think op should change anything for now, but should simply move up. If things start to go less well, then bb 3b spots are a place to look at, nothing more. 11% seems high to me, but i guess it depends on the spots that are being chosen - it's a lot easier playing in position, and that applies to 3b pots as well.

    Thanks again all for the replies.

    Attempting to change nothing and move up.

    However I find that whenever I attempt to move up I usually start playing like shit and tilty and whatever... So it'll be fun.
