(a) Should I be opening up my SB when folded to me at a very high rate? I think I see some pretty good winning regs at like 80-90%, but I am at 41%.
This depends on the BB. If he plays back at you, calls light, plays position well etc, then you should play very tight. If he folds too much, you can open any 2 cards. Make it 3x against the nits with any two cards, and 4x with a much tighter range (20% or so) against the players that play back at you. Obv these are crude guidelines and everything is situational.
(b) I want to cut down my tables to enhance my reads and to play more optimally. I feel that my VPIP in LP/BTN will naturally go up because I'll be playing less tables, is this an OK assumption? I see guys playing 23-26VPIP consistently, and that is the kind of numbers I want to reach, as I feel that it is most optimal for 8-9tables at microlimits given my general play "style."
Don't play to achieve certain stats. Play what hands you think are optimal. If I have position on some tilty guy, I often turn into a loose passive "station". If I have nits on my left, I turn into a maniac. If I have people who constantly fold to 3bets, I get 15%+ 3bet stats. You get the idea. The fewer tables you play, the easier it becomes to adjust.
All that being said, from experience I know your VPIP definatly goes up as a result from playing fewer tables, even to unprofitable heights. There's nothing wrong with 4-tabling at 23/19 stats or so. I did that at NL50 and made ~$40/hour over 20K hands.
(c) 3betting. I know that I call 3bets WAY too much, even IP (my F3b is 44.5%-- yeah I got issues) and generally I only 3bet for value at 25nl. When I am trying to expand my 3bet range/frequency who are the types of players I should be targeting consistently?
Look for players with a low VPIP but high steal frequency. Kinda like yourself. Also look at their fold to 3b stats. The larger the gap between their VPIP and steal, the more likely you can get away with 3betting a ton against them. You'd be the exception because you never fold though
(d) WWSF. My last 5kish hands my WWSF is at 45.2% because I've made a much much more concerted effort to more aggressive postflop in order to pick up pots. I feel that its more than just "LOL double barrel more" because I think I do that a TON already, especially against regs. Can anyone provide more insight? I also feel that if I cut down on my tables I can also naturally make better reads postflop and that will increase my WWSF.
That's a pretty high value already, you don't have to worry about increasing it. When you play fewer tables, this stat will go up naturally though, because you can make better thin rivercalls and/or bluffs.
(e)Tilt. I've easily tilted away anywhere from 150-220 dollars IMO during this stretch, EV wise it could be higher because I also lose implied/reverse implied odds to stack fish and whales when I am tilting 100bbs off constantly.
Set a stoploss and admit to yourself when you're tilting.
If your goal is to grind it out at NL50, you can start playing more tables again after a while. If you want to rise trough the limits though, I'd stick to playing fewer tables. Especially after you just moved up, I think 4 is a very good number of tables to play. It's harder to follow pots you're not involved in yourself if you play more than that.
