[b]cold calling in the BB[/b]

These were my results for individually cold call hands in the BB in the range John asked for, I tried to cut and paste them in b4 but couldn't hold a format so I sent them direct to John and didn't put them here, but will now as an image

I was surprised my suited aces were performingly so badly, you really need a very large sample for it to be meaningful. The rates  vary pretty widely and if you do actually manage to spike a hand and win a  stack it changes the profile for the hand a lot. The same with a big loss; with A3s I lost a 100bb  hand after a K33 flop when the villain had KK
When I ran a filter for A2-A5s when I 3bet from the BB I was winning at +54bb/100.

I suspected this and also suspected that I would be performing better 3betting all of the hands with the biggest losing rates and I was correct about half the time actually posting a winning rate and those that were still losing were still better than the cold call rate. 
QTos for example was only losing at -33 when 3bet rather than -222. (only a sample of 20 in 700k though...not a hand i usually 3bet)
This is partly my point, at the micros those hands that could be 3bet from the BB probably should be as opposed to flat called.
John has alwyas told me -30bb/100 is an acceptable losing rate for the BB. Historically I'm about -45bb/100 and cold calling around 18% (5-6% too high) so I could probably get to -30 by dumping all the os gappers and some of the suited gappers and 3betting a bit more.
