Your VPIP and AF are too low. Your VPIP should be in the upper teens. Your AF should be about 2-3. You are not playing near enough hands. Play less tables until you are comfortable at around 17% VPIP and then expand from there. Also you need to defend your BB more against a SB steal. Folding more than you are calling is giving away money to an aggressive player.

I suggest you start single-tabling. Try to concentrate on improving your game and forget about the money. If you can't at the present limit you should go down a couple of levels.

And 10/4.5 seems too tight and too passive to me. Start playing aggressively.

As others have said:

Too tight
Play just 1 table for the time being- until you are sure the big leaks have been ironed out.

your VPIP should be doubled and PFR needs to be doubled as well (more, actually).

You partially answered your question in your opening statement:

[/ QUOTE ]

Your sample size is far too small to judge any other stats other than the fact you are too tight, also it's not a good idea to play 7 tables at a time, if your new to poker try 1 table, or 2 at the very most.
