Update....
Last night was horrible, I posted my displeasure with myself and my play here, and got some great advice and support from you all here. I went back today, and only played an hour session and made back $22.00 (considering I played for three hours last night and lost $41 in total)
I decided I would paste my stats from my session today which was roughly 60 minutes...
During current Hold'em session you were dealt 65 hands and saw flop:
- 4 out of 7 times while in big blind (57%)
- 2 out of 7 times while in small blind (28%)
- 8 out of 51 times in other positions (15%)
- a total of 14 out of 65 (21%)
Pots won at showdown - 3 of 5 (60%)
Is this about what my stats should look like for contiuned profitable play? I understand that this was only a small step in the right direction, but hopefully can contiune to profit,
thanks for the help and support, really good fourm (canadian too)

Stats are a great guide. You can have the right stats, and still lose. But whether winning or losing, they tell an interesting story of how you got there.
Your stats look decent and about right. What they tell me is that you're likely folding AJo in the SB, when facing an UTG raise and two callers, and you're folding KJo in EP, and your folding ATo to and MP raise. These are all good, if that's in fact what you're doing.
Things to look for -- do you fold the turn appropriately, marginal hands come to mind, top pair no kicker from the BB, do you raise the turn appropriately (ie a hand you were going to call, the turn and river, but could improve on the river), do you check raise appropriately (big hand against a bully). On the river, are you overcalling when you know you are beat? Are you folding to one bet after there was a busted draw?
The stats won't tell the whole story -- they'll only tell you where to look first, and they will tell you if you're tight, or loose.
Good luck -- keep chugging.
Cheers
