So (just to nitpick this exact hand) he calls a raise pre with QTT3 with no suits OR if he does, he's still crazy enough to get it all in on this flop?
Folding preflop is probably the correct move, but very few people will actually do it. Also, unless you're playing like 18/3 or something, no way do I fold middle set in a raised pot there. I'm starting to think you play too weak/passive. What are your aggression stats and your WTSD again?

Hmm, I'm not sure - I'm at work and don't have the exact numbers - you are most likely correct though. WTSD I have no idea, but my pokerev graphs tend to show I lose a lot of money in non showdown pots (blue line always highest, then red, then green). My aggression stats (I think) run around 3-5% pfr and 1.5-2 AF. Suggestions?

Post up the #'s you have, I have no issue with that - I know you have tons of hands with me. Please also post the amount of won/loss between us while you're at it
As far as stats, I was referring to about my last 3-5k hands. I've been trying to raise more and play a bit looser - from what we talked about the other day. I'm more 30/5 than my usual 20/2 that I had been playing at the beginning of the month.

Yeah, bdc, you definitely are playing too passively. Try this for starters: when you're in the CO or OTB, if you have a hand that would be playable UTG and it's limped to you, raise it every time. Building pots in position is a huge advantage and it's really simple. In general, you're usually going to want to C-bet a a little bit more on hands you've raised preflop, but even if you just play it like someone raised in front of you, you'll still be better off than you will playing 30/5. Your postflop aggression's pretty low too, but that's a little tougher to fix and there are a lot of different small problems that could be responsible.
I play 34/19/3.4 overall and I'm not saying you should go that aggressive as it's kind of a large adjustment and you need to play a completely different style raising that much. It's probably even slightly sub-optimal as sometimes when I'm playing a lot of tables, I start raising just about everything PF to make it simpler. Still though, even playing a little bit passive, you should try to get your PFR up to a minimum of 10 and your AF to a minimum of 2.
Also, while I've had some problems at 1/2 and above lately (1.65 PTBB/100 avg. at those levels), my style's still averaging 13.0 PTBB/100 at 0.5/1 and below over a sample of 35,000 hands. I definitely think that relentless aggression is the best strategy against most low-limit players.

I've been generally running 24/12 ish, with 2.72 postflop agg (1.36 inc. preflop). I just can't seem to get a real grasp on a good style (nothing to do with results, just overall play). I seem to be uncomfortable with PLO at the moment.
I'm definitely struggling to fold preflop in certain bad situations, and I'm not loosening up enough in position. Even on the button I'm only 24/13.5, and that should easily be up at 30/15 or more.
I've only been winning 40% of my sessions as well recently which has been a real problem. I need to spend some real time looking through PokerEV to see where I'm losing money.
I've reworked my NLHE game a lot over the last few weeks and it's affecting the way I look at PLO as well, but I don't have enough of a sample size to say if it's having a positive or negative effect.

The main hands that I play from the button or occasionally the CO and fold from other positions are Axxxds and hands where middle pairs are the only redeeming feature like TT63 or 9954. There are a couple others here and there, but those are the main groups that I'm conscious of. I agree that it's hard to differentiate too much by position though as with exactly 6 players, I'm 30/12 UTG and 38/22 on the button.

Iggy, I really appreciate the advice. Just to clarify/confirm, those hands you just mentioned Axxx ds and mp hands, are we to raise those often if limped to in LP?

Played a bit tonight after reading some of the advice here. Tried to be more aggro from LP when limped to. The numbers are still lower than they probably should be, but it will get there as I get more comfortable. Took a bit of an equity hit from the hand posted above, but whatever, misclicks happen, I normally wouldn't be in that spot in the first place.

Still had a crap day equity-wise though...but happy that I still showed a profit.

You're playing super passive all round.
Because you rarely raise preflop you are almost never continuation betting the flop. That's a huge hole.
