Your VPIP and PFR are out of whack, but I think that's mostly due to your blind play.

How is 25.6/19/2.5 <font color="#666666">(edited to exclude preflop AF)</font> out of whack for this level? I completely think it's more profitable at 1/2, 2/4 than a 35/27 style due to the rake.

But OP, steal more. 10% first in raise seems low to me.

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. I too am surprised to read that preflop stats of 25.6/19 are out of whack. I'll definitely follow the advice to steal more and defend the BB more, which might put me at 28/20 or so -- numbers I had previously thought were close to optimal for this level. Now I'm not so sure. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

By the way, by my calculations, my WSD (when saw flop) is 41%, and my W$SD is 47.2%. That WSD is too high and W$SD too low, right? Hopefully, with discipline, those numbers will improve as I play more hands. I'm starting to get an idea of what hands I should be posting here.

I meant that when your PFR is that high, your VPIP should be higher. They should generally rise together. I said nothing about the style of play. You can definitely win with 25/17 or 30/20 or even 23/15 at these levels.
