Misplaying the button?

[davidross]

Looking at my PT stats raised some questions for me. I have 63K hands at 1/2 and 2/4 6 max now and when I look at my position stats I seem to have a problem with the button.

Every stat seems to be what I would expect, except for the amount won. I'm making 8 times more from the cutoff than I am from the button. In fact I'm making more than double from the hijack than I am from the button.

My VPIP numbers are almost the same from the CO(57%) as they are from the button(59%), but my raising numbers are way higher from the co (40% vs 27% and the raise first in is higher 36 vs 21)

Is it possible there is a bug in PT? THis just doesn'tseem right?

You get reraised more when you raise from the button? Maybe you make less on the button because you dont play as well in reraised pots, and raise less on the button because you're more likely to be reraised.

Weak I know, all I could really think of.

Jebus.

Looks like I'm the same. Make similar amounts from Button and Hijack over the last 30k hands, but make about twice as much in the CO. Is this normal?

Maybe we get played back at a ton more preflop and postflop when we open on the button and don't handle that too well?

It could be a lot of things. 63k isnt exactly a huge sample but maybe you should limp/cc less on the button?

Am i the only one that's a lot tighter in these last 2 positions? (23.8/22.4 in the CO and 27.8/24.9 on the button)

i'm winning 22ptbb/100 on the button and 14ptbb/100 in the CO.

my overall conclusion: tighten up a bit, there's no need to be that laggy.

edit - my overall preflop stats are 22/18

u play 57/40 in the CO?

I don't think I do. I'm wondering if there is some kind of bug in the software. By anyone's standards I think I'm on the tight side and on the passive side so those numbers seem crazy high.

Josh,

I'd be happy to if you could tell me how, I'm an old guy who doesn't know how to work these new-fangled devices.
