Hey guys, I started playing 10NL 2 days ago after playing 5NL for about 2 weeks. I played around 1000 hands, and I noticed in PT3 that I'm loosing money on the SB and BB. To be exact, in the SB I'm loosing $8.79 and without the blind I win 0.38 On the BB, I'm loosing $3.39 and without the blind I win $14.89

Looks like I'm losing a lot of money on the blinds, is this normal or is it because I fold to much on steal attempts? Oh well, it does look like I'm folding too much, I folded SB to steal 100% and the BB 80.92% Incredibly high! This is big leak in my game right? (I know the sample is small, but still)

I dont know of anyone who is winning money out of the blinds. So that isnt a problem. You are just going to lose money in the blinds but it is that way with everyone.

Yeah dont fold to blind steals that much. Open up your range when the CO or BTN raises. Occasionally 3 bet hands like suited connecters and gap connecters.

Warning: DONT 3 BET AT OR AJ VERY MUCH. I would just fold AT and fold AJ 75% of the time and 3 bet it the other 25%. 3 betting a hand like 34o is better than AT.
