Stats Post - Want to fix leaks before moving to 3/6

[SoCalRugger]

I was playing 5/10 full before deciding to switch exclusively to 6-max. Here's my first 12k hands. I figure if everything's still going well, I'll move up to 3/6 around 20k, but I'd like to get some input on what I need to work on before then.

So from what I can tell, my problems are the following:

- VP$IP too low by a couple points
- PFR too low by a couple points
- Need to defend SB a bit more, although maybe not at 3/6 with a 1/3 structure?
- Go to showdown a bit more

Agree/disagree? Missing anything? Everything else looks reasonable to me, but that doesn't mean a whole lot.

Thanks.

No comments? Does this mean I've got no leaks and I'm ready to head over to UB for the 300/600?

[Guruman]

yep.

Can u tell me why your
Att.To Steal Blinds
at 2/4 is 35% but at 1/2 is 30%?

Too tight, not going to a showdown enough, not stealing enough, not defending enough.

I'm basically going by that starting hand chart that's in Wookie's Stats post which I thought was supposed to give acceptable VPIP/PFR numbers, but apparently not. I guess I need to start raising hands that the chart says to fold after 1-2 limpers, like Ax, K9s, KT, QJ. Like I said, I think these are my two biggest leaks.

That guide, while great for beginners, is, well, for beginners. As you get more comfortable, what you should really start taking advantage of is rasing to isolate. Try and sit behind bad players, and raise behind their limps with slightly more marginal hands than you're used to. Take the better hands from the set that you'd raise if it was folded to you, but that you're folding with the one bad limper. I'm glad to see your stealing expanding from 1/2 to 2/4. You can open that up a little more even. I should probably update my stats post to say that a reasonable upper bound on stealing is 45-50%, not 40%, as it currently reads.

OTOH, don't let anyone say that playing w/ these stats is a big leak. You're a little tight. You're passing up some profitable situations. But just because raising QJo after a bad limper is profitable doesn't mean that folding it is a 1 BB mistake or something crazy like that.

I wouldn't raise Ax or any of these hands in fact, just limp along and make up postflop with KT QJ K9s. I'd still fold most weak aces here depending on how many limpers there are. I think this is sound but someone let me know if I'm crazy.

I thought a steal percentage around 30-35% was reasonable. No?

Also, you mean not defending the small blind enough? Or both? 'cause I thought my Folded BB to Steal percentage was ok.
