if your ev is higher on early positions than later positions what does that imply regarding playing style?

My guess is that it means you don't value position enough.

However, I guess it could also mean that you value position too much and play way too many hands in LP. Other stats could tell you this.

Yeah, but those stats can't be theoretically accurate, because UTG can fold all hands and do better than those stats indicate

They also don't come close to adding up to 0 (which, rake aside, they should). I think they made the mistake of averaging across all starting hands rather than all hands people actually played. Tacky.

It means you're making some kind of mistake in later positions since you have better circumstances but are getting worse results.

What that mistake is, the number can't tell us.

ive the feeling my early position play is ok and the reason its good value is possibly mistakes of other players calling too much

and i think i call maybe myself in late postion too much raises where i think i got implied odds

[/ QUOTE ]I would suggest that you ignore implied odds for now and concentrate on Bet and Pot Odds.
