Re: Is it simply variance?
At those levels it is a good thing to have to lowest $vpip at the table. this means when you are playing a hand you are more than likely ahead of villains range.
This is good but you have to be aggressive. No tricky play at these levels.. you get JJ in the small blind with 4 limpers trying betting large, bet all in maybe. you will probably get a caller, if not you will pick up 4bb. This doesnt work as you progress the levels but it will down here.
I still say $vpip of 26% is too high for these levels. pokerstove shows 26% range as 55+ any Axs A7o+ 810s+
Are you playing these ranges ? if so how ? What is your pfr% ?
The lower end of this range shouldnt be played at this level.
from your last comment about folder to the post flop aggressor, you should have the lead here. If you led pf then you should be in position and leading post flop. you need to be the one in control of the betting and if you are doing this with a low $vpip then you should be ahead more times than not.
position, position, position. tighten up the UTG,UTG+1 and dont loosen too much on the button. This does change as you move up the game levels but here TAG ABC poker is the way forward.
You sound like you have a good graps of the fundamentals, way more than the bad players at your level. keep with it.
