PokerTracker Checkup: hows your grind???


Alright, I'm going to try something and I think it would be interesting if some of the other bloggers would do this with me.  I'm going to post some pokertracker numbers, and then see what all I've changed during this blogfest.  The stats I'll be posting will be from a 2+2 post on how to use pokertracker taken from the SSNL forum, written by Pokey.  Here is a link to the original for those who are interested in where to find these stats.

First up is a screenie of the main ring games screen from pokertracker.

Just looking at those numbers, it appears that I have a problem with playing in unraised pots, so I would love some suggestions on what to do in those situations.  I'll try to find some hands in unraised pots to post soon.  My unsuited connectors are losing money because I'm not playing very many of them, and those totals inculde the blinds.  I would love comments, and would be thrilled if some people made similar posts so we could compare some numbers.
