Lately, it seems i just cannot play any looser then 17/14. I raise so many hands, from so many positions and yet it seems my stats say i am an extremely tight player. My question to LP.net is how do some people achieve 25/20 statistics? They must raise some insanely trash hands to achieve those stats. This style cannot be optimal for 50-100nl because i am yet to see a winning player that is that loose. SHoudl i even try to loosen up yet, or is 17/14 solid?

Most successful players seem to play around 25/20. therefore it must be the ideal style but an extremely hard one to achieve. Some people have told me 6 tabling could be another factor to my tightness because i dont have the time to be playing so many hands.

My May goals are to achieve
-50k hands at nl50
-try to maintian winrate over 10bb/100
-play the 3k,8k, and 17k rebuy twice a week
-study poker more and fix my many leaks

I won my biggest hand ever today, i raised 34s utg on a tight table and this 6 buyin pot is what followed, woot

I thought id share this nice link of 2+2 threads on different topics, its pretty handyhere

peace.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

those stats are perfectly fine, not everyone can loosen up profitably easily
there are a shitload of winning players with similar stats

fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount
