Hi all, as most of you know i'm the twin brother of the infamous IowaSkinsFan. We both started out with $50 from our father on our birthday at 17, and have made our way up to 100NL. Soon we are going to split BR's, but not yet.

Anyways, although i don't mind being tight, I feel that i have a great postflop game and could really maximize my EV by loosening up a little bit! I'm pretty sure i have some of the tightest stats on this forum in 6-max holdem.




So here is my goal:

My goal is to loosen up my preflop stats in a manner that will maximize my EV. By 100k hands (which will probably be a combination of 1/2 and .5/1) i want to have a VPIP close to 20 and whatever PFR goes along with that.

So far, here is what i've implemented into my game (starting at 40k hands):
1. cold call raises in position with suited connectors and suited one gap connectors
2. threebet lighter from the button when there is a loosish CO raiser.

I don't feel like i'm that tight when not looking at stats, so i really can't think of anything to do to loosen up. Pretty much i've decided i'm going to open up my button raising range a bit and see how it goes. I'll be posting my marginal hands in this post, if anyone has any input it'd be great.
