Hey guys,

I started playing .50/1 a couple of months back having played NL for a long while. I've had heaps of trouble with Limit and have just recently managed to get back to square for 20K hands. But my VPIP is only 18% and PFR is 5.7 - which I am always reading is too low. My aggresion numbers are also below what I see posted as ideal - in the last fornight I have been at 1.6 for total agg. I keep trying to make attempts to loosen up and stay in hands and stay aggresive but just keep running into the very reasons why I play like I do at the moment. I put two hands below from today as examples - should I be playing the KTo hand that way (I would normally fold that preflop) and where should I be folding the AQo hand, if indeed I should - should I push on trying to expand my game in this way - do I seem to have the right idea?
