26k hands river fold 70.79, W$@SD 48.48. Posted only because mixmaster's stat match freaked me out.

You're doing absolutely nothing wrong and don't change anything.
Have you ever heard the phrase "Don't mend something that isn't broken"? Well that's what the case is right here.
You're winning at 10BB per 100 hands and you think you have a problem? Sheesh.
Just carry on playing the same way. The advice you are getting is from people playing at different levels to you. The make up of any game is wholly dependant on the players in it, and at that level there will be a lot more seeing the river per hand than at PLO$200. So folding more is to be expected.
Well done on the win rate, but you really don't need to change anything until it drops to 3BB/100

Some good points, but much like any other competitive endeavour, being satisfied with one's performance can lead to complacency. 10BB/100 is excellent and in reality there probably isn't that much scope for improvement (at this level), but just remember the maxim: there's always room for improvement.

No, there isn't always room for improvement.

If you start trying to change your game when you're winning that much, you need your head examined.

Seriously.

[/ QUOTE ]yes, there is. the only way you play perfect is if you know your opponents cards.

No it's not. Not when it comes to something as important as wanting to see more showdowns.

I would contend that moving up past PLO10 will require him to improve his skills.

Okay, now we're getting down to semantics but you pretty much proved my point; learning new styles includes the acquistion of new skills and practicing them which is pretty much what I'd call improving.
