Blinds Stats 5/10 6-MAX, Revisited

[lastcoyote]

I know there was a thread a month or so ago discussing how much people were losing in the blinds. I couldn't find it so I'm looking for some help. I think my BB loss rate is killing me.

Am I not raising enough when I have hand that warrants it? Any other suggestions?

I found the thread I was thinking of. It's here (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=headsup&Number=1504550&For um=,f8,&Words=blinds&Searchpage=1&Limit=25&Main=15 03153&Search=true&where=sub&Name=&daterange=1&newe rval=1&newertype=m&olderval=&oldertype=&bodyprev=# Post1504550) for anyone that missed it.

It looks like my -.19 BB/hand from the BB is a bit below average.

dude....your blind play is the least of your worries. you gotta loosen up on the button and co.

Hey man, my stats look pretty close to yours in terms of BB/100 for each position...my BB/100 from position 2 is about half of what it is from the other positions (after 35k hands). Does anyone know why this is?

I agree. I really want to be a 23 - 25 VPIP overall and 15 PFR. Looking at my stats, it seems like I have tightened up a bit in the last couple of weeks. I'm not sure if the cards are running colder for me or I'm getting a little gun shy from some bad days.

I feel like I would need to be cold calling a lot more from the later positions to bring VPIP up. It's something I am going to work on. I've been throwing a lot of small pocket pairs when facing a raise late. Is that a leak?

Yeah that position 2 phenomenon is pretty interesting. I don't have an explanation outside of small sample size variance. However, your 35K hands are a much larger sample than I have.

Interesting - my CO stats are about half the other non-blind data.

35k hands - 10k 1/2 the remainder 5/10

I apologize for not being able to make html work for this table.

I think my small blind data are better than many because I am very aggressive here. I do not understand the CO data - but suspect that the variance is great enough to not be that meaningful.
