I'm not much of a cash game player, but from your stats it looks to me that you defend your blinds too much. What you have to understand is that you are supposed to lose money from the blinds, that is what they are there for, and the goods players simply minimise how much they lose in the blinds and make up for it from the other positions. Play position more and defend your blinds less and I think your win-rate will improve.

Welcome to TwoRags man. Glad to see that you are having more luck at FR and doubling your bankroll is pretty awesome. Also feel free to post any hand histories you want to go over.

Thanks for the comment and yes, I've still a lot to learn about blind play. I've almost discounted blind strategy up until recently because at the micros it's hard to see the relevance of 25c or 50c. But it all adds up I guess!
