Starting Over - I need some advice

[betadecay]

I think I mentioned this to you before and I'm glad someone else is reiterating. You need to work on your postflop play. The best place to do that is at Full Ring.

I figured the reason you weren't playing full ring was because you would think it was boring. It doesn't surprise me that is what you posted. This is a typical fish mentality(which is why 6 max is so profitable). I think it's important that you quit 6 max for a while(and 2/4 for that matter). Post flop mistakes in short hand will kill your bankroll very quickly. At full ring this happens much slower. On top of that there is much more material on how to beat full then on how to beat SH.

If you decide to stay with 6max, your vpip is fine. Like someone said it is only profitable to play +ev hands preflop if you know what you are doing post flop. Otherwise those hands lose money.

As far as your went to showdown stat. It is probably ok too. That stat is derived from your vpip, so If you are playing tighter, then you should be going to showdown more often too. As you open up preflop, your showdown stat will drop.

So, my recommendation is to move down to, say, .25/.50 6-max on Stars

IIRC, stars doesnt have .25/50 6 max, only .5/1. Absolute is the only site below .5/1 6max, so it may be the best place to play. However, it is probably nothing like a "normal" 2/4 games because it may be full of guys capping every street to blow off steam.
