+10/bb Over 20.000 Hands

Summer time hasn't been poker time for me, but I have managed to squeeze in a couple of sessions with a pretty decent results. Over the last 20K hands I made more than 10bb/100 which was my goal for the entire project so I'm very happy with it! So what has changed? I have step by step changed my game from a "Weak-Tight" style to something that could be called TAG. First 20K hands: VPIP:12 / PFR:8 / AF:1,86 Last 20K hands: VPIP:15 / PFR:11 / AF:2,24 But the most significant change is the ability to use my possition. I have gone from +12bb/100 from the button to a very high +39bb/100 and 27,5bb/100 from the cut off. I make half my winnings from the button although it's only 11% of the hands. I play over 30% of my hands from the button. Once you get a feel for the game there are so many orphan pots that nobody wants to fight over and on NL25 you hardly ever get check raised on the turn and if you do you can just fold and are hardly ever bluffed unless you are facing a mainiac on drugs. I have also started to cold call pretty often with very marginal hands against players that C-Bet 100% on the flop and then give up on the Turn if they don't hit anything with their AK/AQ hands. This type of player is very easy to float, call the Flop and bet the Turn if they check. Tomorrow I'll have the last session with my coach and we'll be doing some leak plugging, my plan is to find as many leaks as posible and fix them during the rest of these 100K hands and then I'll be prepared for the NL50.
