You're horribly, egregiously tight. Anything greater than 23.7 +- .56 is spewy, and any less (including you), is UNBELIEVABLY nitty.

Why do I bother asking? I actually can't even tell who's sincere.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm hoping it's just because i used the word "optimal." I probably should have just asked if my stats were way out of line.

It's because ther isn't really an answer to your question. Simply playing and raising the agreed "correct" precentage of hands will not make you a winning player. Most people would agree that under 20% is too tight and over 30% is too loose for 6-max(although there will always be exceptions). Anything between that and your postflop play will determine if you're a winner or not.

Thank you, Dagger. I understand what you're saying about postflop. I just started playing shorthanded after playing and winning full ring for two years, and I'm not used to losing. I know I had to loosen up to play shorthanded, but I just wanted to know if I was playing way too tight. It seems all the winners I've been playing with are LAGs.
