Default Playing too much from the blinds?

I'm currently playing $25 nl and have a habit of completing the small blind or sometimes calling a raise from the big blind because I think I've got good pot odds (over 5-1). The more I've read lately though it seems that I've been making a mistake by doing this and should only really be playing premium hands, i.e. the sort I'd play UTG

My question is, are my pokertracker stats showing this up to be a major leak in my game?

From the BB I've got the following (Amount Req to post blind $178.75, Net amount -$90.12, Difference w/o blind $88.63)

From the SB I've got (Amount req to post blind $72.40, Net amount -$74.19, Difference w/o blind -$1.79).

This is after 6500 hands.

Default Re: Playing too much from the blinds?

I would not play as tight as I do from UTG, but the thing to remember is that you will be OOP the rest of the hand. If you do not play well OOP, then you need to adjust accordingly. You also need to adjust depending on the players involved.

Small sample size, etc, but your stats are not that bad. Almost all players are losing money from the blinds.
