Re: Acceptable loss rate from the blinds
The amount you lose from the blinds depends on the way the table is playing, so it isn't easy to have universal rules. However, I believe you should be able to win more than half of your blinds back, for a loss of at most 0.25 PTBB/hand from the big blind, and 0.10 PTBB/hand from the small blind. In a very soft game, you might not lose money from the small blind.
Losing more than twice that is unacceptable, since it means you would be better off folding the blinds without looking at your cards.

Re: Acceptable loss rate from the blinds
After 25,000 hands I'm losing 0.16 from the big blind and 0.11 from the small blind. The figures were higher but I've managed to bring them down by changing my game a bit. Wasn't sure if this was an acceptable figure or I should be aiming to get them lower.

Re: Acceptable loss rate from the blinds
Check Pokey's "How To Use PokerTracker" in the SSNL master sticky. He shows you how to see whether or not you are playing the blinds for a profit. You really can't expect much profit since you are in the worst two positions postflop.
