    Default 11k checkup please!

    Ideally I'd like a pretty-low variance game that can move up quickly and still make money. I'm not sure whether my winrate is as good as it should be. FWIW, I 8-table iPoker. How heavy is my variance graph?

    Cheers.

    If you want less variance then drop your VP$IP down to about 19-20%
    Otherwise, start raising more pre-flop because you are limping in with too many marginal hands.
    You're limping in 10 out of 20% of your hands UTG...
    Ideally, your PFR% and VP$IP% UTG should be roughly equal.

    If your hand is not good enough for a raise and it's folded to you then you should fold as well. For example, don't limp in with QJo UTG. Normally you should fold that type of hand UTG, unless the table is uber tight/passive.

    Another thing I noticed was your Turn and especially your river AF. Why are they so low?
    It seems that you are calling down a bit too often.

    you are running amazingly, which makes it very difficult for us to critique, play more hands and get back to us at 25k.

    At first glance, it appears you need to raise more in position and fold more under the gun.

    Ffs renton, don't say that, you'll jinx me with a bitchin' downswing! :P

    What makes you say that I'm running amazingly? Do my stats suck a bit much to reflect that kinda winrate?

    JL, my AF on late streets probably reflects a couple of things:

    - I generally shut down if a c-bet gets called, because barely anyone is good enough to float at these levels.
    - I like to check behind with medium-strength hands (TPGK, overpair on quite scary board, etc.) because I often fear backwards aces/slowplayed set/playing a big pot against a reasonable player with only a medium holding. I'll have a look through and see how much value I'm losing by doing this.

    Hmm...
    Well checking behind does not affect your AF at all. Calling instead of betting/rasing is what affects your AF.
    Therefore, you must be betting the flop with A high/mid PP type hand, and then calling the rest of the way far too often.

    It does not seem to be affecting you at all though. You are running quite well at 7.56 BB/100, and you're winning from the SB.

    As Renton said, "get back to us at 25k."
