Default 9 10 Suited?

Some info on me: Limit Hold'em 5-10 and 10-20. Full Ring games only. Win rate 1.25 BB/100 hands.

I am a loser with 9 10 suited after a very large sample of hands. I basically follow Sklansky's rules to the hand except I never play it in the first 3 positions. The pot must be multi-way and my position must be pretty good. How is it possible that I am losing with this hand? I don't play that bad!

Don't look at this hand in a vaccuum, because in reality you haven't played it in a 'large sample' of hands. True winrates fluctuate greatly even over 100k+ hand samples. Therefore, true winrates for each hand will vary greatly over these samples as well. Check your stats with comparable hands like JTs, j9s, t8s, 98s, 87s, and this will give you a better idea. One real danger of using tools like pokertracker is misleading you to think that you have certain holes in your game that aren't really there - or conversely - that certain hands are better than they really are due to extreme situations.
