Since the Stoxtrader book came out I developed new ranges for steals, re-steals, etc. I am looking at my stats over the last 60,000 hands played. I would have thought that the button should have the best win rate, followed by the cutoff, and then the hijack. But it is the opposite.

My first thought was to get more conservative from the button and cutoff, thinking that perhaps the hijack is doing better with the smaller range. But it then occurred to me that the higher win rate may be due to having more opportunities to be the open raiser when two off the button... you get to raise with the marginal hands and the button and cutoff have to fold hands they were ready to open with. I hope this is the reason and not that the ranges I'm using for button and cutoff are too agressive.

Do others see this same pattern in their positional stats?
