Hey there...im new to the whole grinding thing...Wanna get serious...BR at 800 but wanna just grind it and go Robustosaurus Rex and keep moving up...I know this sample size is useless..and my AA is in the red. But im not sure if my numbers are where they should be...I have a feeling my VPIP is too high.. Can you guys comment on my stats or what they should be. Thanks dudeskis and broskis!

Some stats are useless after 1500 hands. Winrate is one of them.

You do seem loose in the small blind. At higher limits you will get crushed in small blind. At these limits is is probably slightly -EV or break-even.

The rest of the stats seems reasonable.

I have 19k hands logged (half NL, half limit) at various micro stakes and this is where AA ranks so far in Avg/Hand: KK, AJs, QQ, J9s, A6s, AA. In that order. J9s is like the mortal nuts for me. Awesome. I can't even imagine how many hands it would take for it to align in a predictable manner... 100k+?

i tend to just fold SB often when its a HORRID hand and people 3 people limp...

Far Far to few hands...

Two general comments:
1...Too loose from SB
2...Too much limping...

For serious grinders this is an hour and a half, two hours tops

i find that limpin with suited aces is has been a +EV play...when i get the nuts against 4 people i get paid off more than HU...only at these stakes tho

Raising > Limping

Raise with suited Aces so you can take the flop down with a cbet, really dont limp with anything

I mean a lot of this stuff is based on your style. In general versus players like you, I find that the common leaks are that you don't reraise a wide enough range preflop, you don't steal enough from button, and you tend to not punish limpers enough. Also, do to your generally overall passivity its slightly easier to put you on hands (I wouldn't worry about this at 20NL though).

Reraising an appropriate range preflop IMO is a fairly advanced concept and not necessary for 25NL or really 50NL.
