First 10k hands stats. Looking for a bit of general advice.

When it comes to stealing blinds what range of hands are you stealing with?. Are you saying just try steal with absolutely any old hand or just with a slightly wider range?

It has a lot to do with positional awereness. From your positional stats it looks like your VPIP is basically the same from all positions with a slight increase on the button. Fold more from UTG, MP and the blinds, raise more from the CO, Btn. If the blinds are ubertight, feel free to raise 82o, otherwise I ask myself if I am comfortable playing a particular hand against any of these opponents. A hand like J4s and 98o might look very tempting against a lot of passive fish who will let you draw for free, pay off with worse and make it very cheap to see a showdown.

Hey John, those are some pretty solid stats for your first 10,000. I basically agree with what everyone else has said so far. I think the one thing that will help pretty much all of the suggestions fall into place is being a little more positionally aware.

Opening up a bit and stealing more will raise your VPIP in late position. Playing more hands in late position also puts you in more betting/raising situations whereas being out of position puts you in more check/calling situations IMO, so playing more hands in late position will naturally up your aggression factor.

To try to even out the variance, it does look like you get into a lot of big pots, maybe some of them with small pot hands like TPTK or a weak 2 pair. Try to exercise some pot control when you have those types of hands.

I would personally tighten up in early position, although you seem to be doing just fine so far as your Won$ WSF/Went to SD/Won$ at SD numbers are almost identical in all of the non-blind positions. I would think this is a sign of someone who's well on the way to being a good hand reader so I think if you are a good hand reader you can open up A LOT from the CO and BTN, which will make your positional stats look a little more "normal."

Cheers all. Just what i was looking for. Definately going to open up a bit in CO/BTN see how it goes.
When in early position what do you think about calling small raises(2-3bb) with A9-AJos and similar hands? im calling these more often than not and wondering if this is considered a leak.

Please Please Please Please Please don't call UTG raises from reasonable opponents with Ax type hands suited or not. I am assuming that you are referring to UTG raises since you can't really call a raise from EP without an UTG raise.
