Default I Need Some Help Figuring This Out

Ok, at the .10/.20 limit tables in just over 12k hands my total profit is 74 cents. I need to know why. I checked PT and found the following:

I am winning at every position exfcept the blinds



Shot at 2007-07-08


When I am the big blind and I put money in the pot as in I call a raise or raise myself the loss is very very small



Shot at 2007-07-09



BUT in the big blind where I do NOT put money in the pot look at that total net



Shot at 2007-07-08


Why the hell would the losses be so high in the big blind when I have only checked??? If you ;look at the top image you will see that in the blinds I won money at showdown over 50% of the time?? This has really thrown me for a loop. Any ideas? If you need more information tell me the filter to run and I will do so and report the results here. More than anything I want to understand what and why this is happening and what I need to do to fix it, so all suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Think of all the hands you check in the big bling which you would never play.. 64o, T3o, K4o, etc.. these hands are gonna lose a lot more than they win.. this is why we don't play these hands when out of the blinds. Also think aout times where you fold your BB and don't even see a flop. Very rarely do you ever put money into a pot PF and fold w/out seeing a flop, although this happens all the time from the BB.

The problem is that PT is calculating your winrate from the BB by factoring in, well, your blind. You would not be losing so much from the BB if only PF money that was put in voluntarily were factored in. In this sense, even Sklansky is a long term loser from the BB.

Still, if you've only made 0.74cents over 12K hands at .1/.2, you're definately doing something wrong.

Don't risk large portions of your stack w/ marginal blind hands you normally would never play like weak aces.

your won $ at showdown is a bit high and your wtsd is too low...you may be playing too much "fit or fold" poker.
