I don't really know how to loosen the stats up. I'm already open raising almost any 2 broadway cards, with the exception of QJ and KJ which I'm mostly open folding. I usually open raise with pp, although I sometimes still limp and call if someone else raises. I'm dumping connectors and suited connecters from mid and early and usually also late, since I don't steal that much.
This forum opened my eyes to better play , also hillbilly directing me to stox made me realize I'll never be at a place to stop learning, don't give it up, look at it like getting your license, it takes more then one try. :)

steal more. isolate more. position, position, position.

Ok I should probably steal more. But the 10nl stats are usually so loose (mostly loose passive) that I actually don't like stealing their blinds. Of course if there are nits in the blinds I will.

And I actually think I isolate quite a bit. Granted mostly with hands I actually want to see a flop with, AJ+, KQ, that kind of stuff.

Are you saying I should throw weaker hands into the mix ? Maybe hands like KTs,KJ,AJ etc ?
Playing postflop after I isolate with weaker hands doesn't really appeal that much to me :(.

Why? You don't enjoy playing against bad players in position? You should try it, it makes you wallet happy...

I'm not saying you should barrel calling stations. But playing a lot of pots with position against them where you can choose the size of the final pot really looks like a profitable thing to do. The power of position is not just that you can barrel people off hands. It's also that you can control the pot size a lot better.

Ok, I'll see what I can do this session.

You can make a lot of money isolating and stealing from some loose players as well. A ton of the lower stakes 50/10/1 guys will call almost any amount preflop (so make your steals/iso raises larger against them) and then instantly give up to smallish (1/2 pot or so) flop cbets when they miss 70% of the time. Playing almost any 2 against these players when in position is instantly profitable. Remember they just want to see a flop, it's your job to charge them for it.

+1

This is how I make a great portion of my money at 10NL. People are so passive you can just c bet them all day long.

I have found that by moving up, the play is actually worse, i'm yet to find a player who knows what they are doing. Of course the fact that each one is running godlike and is actually favourite when getting it in with 10% equity is negating the bad play, but meh, should be easy monies

Is this graph ok ? Looked at enty's on a sweat today and his lines were the other way round SD + NSD.

Is this ok or does it need to change, If so How do I change it?

Anyone here willing to take a look at some graphs/ help with getting my NSD winnings up? I was told before that at 10nl, it doesn't matter how the money is won as long as you're in the green, it just sucks that my SD winnings are great and my NSD tanks..

What is everyone whining about, I wish my SD was positive and my NSD slighly neg and more constant.

TBH you don't want my graph.. Unless you're name is Belgo.

I think its pretty standard that your NSD winings are low seeing how 10NL is calling station infested :)

I think that's more of the norm than high NSD, at 10nl anyway. If you're playing calling stations, might as well have a hand.
