Message: [QUOTE="John A, post: 2229755, member: 88730"] Like I explained, the pre-flop positional awareness stat is a ratio of opened pots in position versus out of position. The basics of any rotational poker game is you want to play as many pots as you can in position versus out of position (this kind of goes without saying of course). Right now, you can exploit this stat, so yes, again, that means open more from the CO and button. Your SB is fine, and you can get away with opening that wide at these stakes. As you move up, you're going to get 3-bet to all craziness if you open that wide (and you should based on your range against competent opponents). Run some filters on how you're playing non-premium hands when you're calling 3-bets. There are some filters in this thread that you can download. Maybe you're picking really good spots and playing them well. In general, with 100 BB effective stacks, you need to pick the ideal opponents and spots to show profitability. [/QUOTE]
