Can someone PLEASE tell me how to fix this gigantic leak (no puns please) in my game? I will let the graph speak for itself...pretty telling on its own

Does that just come from playing in too many limped pots? Or is it something else?

Hell even help me out with playing from the SB since it seems I need work there as well.

Thanks in advance

Your bigger leak is positional play in general. Your average VPIP and mine are almost the same (23%), but you play 20% from UTG and only 25% from the button. I play 13% UTG and 35% on the button. And you should be tight from the BB as well. Play more in position, that is where you make your money.

i lose money from the blinds too that's okay

just try to fold more in the blinds

also you need to have a bigger difference in your utg vs your button

tighten up out of position and loosen up in position

Is this true in other people's experiences at 2/5NL or am I just being a nit and seeing it how I want to see it and not for what it actually is?

Become a rock play like 18/15 or something until you really get a good handle on things. If you just play ryan fees starting hands I think that brings you to about 18/15. This way you'll have cards position and (hopefully) skill on your side. All you got to deal with then is variance.
