Most of my lost money is in the blinds, any way to improve that?

[sfetaz]

According to poker tracker, based on most hands played at .50/1 limit online, I am over -$150 in the blinds combined, which is almost all my loses listed in positions. It says I am positive with the difference without blinds, however IMO thats a large amount of lost money in the blinds IMO over 3100+ hands. Is this just an effect of the forced bet or is there anyway to figure out how to reduce lost money in the blinds? I posted this hear because I felt this has a small relation to variance.

Grimstarr avoids this by not posting blinds in the first place. I would try that.

If you're losing money in the blinds, I'd just simply make the gap between ur VPIP and PFR smaller (meaning call less hands preflop, either reraise or fold). I think you should be 3betting more from the blinds, and perhaps sometimes folding some pocket pairs to late position raisers if the player is loose, simply because their range is not typically strong enough to give you good implied odds to set mine.

Can you elaborate more on what you are saying? I want to make sure I comprehend it. If the players are looser, why would I want to fold more often with PPs for example?

because a late position first-in raiser is more likely to have received the joker sinse more players have folded to him. if you compare this to when someone have raised in early position, in early position, less hands are folded to the raiser, and obviously, no-one is folding a hand containg the joker.
