so I am moving up stat check (semi long)

[nextgenneo]

Okay, so the background is I've been playing poker for about 2 years now on and off not seriously and a few months ago I took my entire bankroll of 1.5k and sat on a juicy 10-20 table on emprire, had a big upswing, played 10-20 for 20k hands and won $$ but cashed out too much and eventually hit a downswing and bust. now bring on the present:

I started playing seriously online (6tabling 6max) on Saturday (1-week) ago with a $900 br that I'd had sitting around. Put in 60 hours and plan on putting in 60 hour weeks for atleast a year and moving up as br dictates. Here are my stats for the first weeks play, I am going to try my hand at $100 6max NL tommorow. I've had experience playing 10-20 so money doesnt bother me, hopefully will have a good run. What do you guys think of the stats, too much of a nit or for the really small stakes play well enough? I think that when I get to 2-4+ I will have to open up my game a bit, for instance I don't raise Ax off suit even if folded too and never steal blinds etc.

Practice stealing blinds now, you will be thankful later.

I think your stats are a little too tight, but people higher than you play similiar and win.
You should definately still be winning at the 100 tables when you move up to them with your play.

My VP$IP is higher and I play full ring. Yonks-- you are tight.

Why wait to 2/4 to open up your game? Oh ya, at 2/4 they will respect your raises.

Not really. Raise more though. With your vpip you should rarely be able to find a reason to limp.

so am i a nit?

my goal is to actually become a good player but i feel that at the 25 and 50s playing a good TAG game is just less profitable, I do 2barrell and 3barrell and play some hands hard, 3bet with wider range pre etc.

Also, post your position stats and your agg stats. Those add a lot of info.

The later position you are, the more often you should open raise. So you should open raise most often from the button and least often from UTG.

Your raise first in show the opposite trend.

This is certainly a big leak and probably explains your very low steal percent.

Expand your raise range as your position imporoves.

Basically, if it's folded to you, the fewer people are left to act, the more likely you are to have the best hand w/ any sort of decent hand, so your equity improves. Also, the later you are, the more likely it is that you will buy the button w/ your raise.... hmm I don't know if I explained that well. Anyway, open raise more from later postion.

[nextgenneo]

my raise first in does increase until the button, which i am paranoid about raising on the button because people will think i am stealing and play back at me (got burned on a massive final table in a tourney stealing on button few years back).

generally how much should it be increasing by?

[DaveyDonk]

People don't play back at these limits. Not really at $100NL either from what I can tell.
