    Are you taking into account the -140bb/100 you expect to see in the blinds?
    BB = -100bb/100
    SB = -40 bb/100
    (usually it's -50, but $0.02/$0.05 has a slightly smaller SB compared to the BB.)

    ...even if you only fold those spots.
    Can you show stats filtered for position?

    @MadMojoMonkey I'm not sure you understand your question. Currently calling a raise with non-pair hands is costing me 197 ptBB/100 (384 bb/100). Even if I was sitting in the BB for every single one of those hands then I would still be looking at a loss of 284bb/100.

    Some other stats:
    Call c-bet 37.6%
    Raise c-bet 26%
    Fold to c-bet 36.4%

    A couple of hand histories:
    iPoker - $0.05 NL - Holdem - 6 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

    Hero (BB): $4.87
    UTG: $0.99
    MP: $4.45
    CO: $3.89
    BTN: $3.48
    SB: $1.36

    SB posts SB $0.02, Hero posts BB $0.05

    Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero has J T

    fold, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to $0.10 and is all-in, Hero calls $0.05

    I'm gettting 3/1 and I'm in position so I call this

    Flop: ($0.20, 2 players) 5 7 9
    SB bets $0.10, Hero calls $0.10

    I flop 2 overs and a gut-shot. I perhaps should have raised here (and normally would), but again getting 3/1 and having position it seemed like a good idea to just call.

    Turn: ($0.40, 2 players) K
    SB bets $0.20, Hero raises to $0.60, SB raises to $1.16 and is all-in, fold

    When the K comes it looks like I'm no longer getting the correct odds to call but it looks like a good card to bluff at. Got to fold to the shove - even if it's a re-bluff there's a lot of bluffs I'm losing to eg Ax, Qx.


    SB wins $1.52


    iPoker - $0.05 NL - Holdem - 6 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

    BB: $3.62
    UTG: $1.52
    MP: $6.98
    CO: $6.96
    BTN: $3.30
    Hero (SB): $5.21

    Hero posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.05

    Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero has J A

    fold, fold, CO raises to $0.20, BTN calls $0.20, Hero calls $0.18, fold

    Against just the c/o raise I would normally 3-bet this to try and avoid playing it out of position, but with the caller on the button I figure there's more value in just calling. Now think this was a mistake and I should have squeezed.


    Flop: ($0.65, 3 players) A 8 3
    Hero checks, CO bets $0.32, BTN calls $0.32, Hero raises to $1.93, fold, BTN calls $1.61

    The almost compulsory c-bet from the c/off I ignore as he is probably doing this with his entire range. The call from the button lets me think that he doesn't have AQ+ because even if he decided not to raise pre he would surely have raised on an A-high 2-suited flop. So I reckon I'm in front and the pot is big enough for me to be content to try to take it down now. I raise and the call from the button tells me that I might not be in front after all


    Turn: ($4.83, 2 players) 9
    Hero checks, BTN bets $1.17, Hero calls $1.17

    No-longer confident that I'm in front I just check here hoping to get to showdown. It looks weak and it is weak. Button shoves. I would have done the same here with ATC in his position (looking to pounce on any sign of weakness), but Button doesn't really have any fold equity and getting over 5/1 I feel forced to call.


    River: ($7.17, 2 players) Q
