I make far less money on the button than I do from the CO and considerably less than I do from the other positions. I only have a small sample size on my database, but I had similar stats on my old database.
I'm pretty solid and aggressive on the button. I raise quite a lot. My preflop stats for 2,122 hands of 3/6 6max are 407 hands played from the button, VP$IP is 31.20, and PFR is 24.32.
I generally raise with high cards like Q8 up, K8 up, and any ace, depending on how people have limped. I don't often raise with suited connectors, unless I'm opening the pot.
I bet nearly all flops if it's checked to me, and I'll bet a lot of turns even if I've missed. This is a habit picked up from playing in games where people would routinely call flops with absolutely nothing. I think that this excess bluffing might be my biggest problem.
I play pretty much exactly the same way postflop when I raise from the CO as when I raise from the button, so I assume that people are just giving my button raises less respect than my cutoff raises.
An interesting stat from pokertracker is that I play only slightly less hands from the CO, but my button Went to SD % is half of my CO %. Also, my button Won $ at SD % is considerably lower. It's only 34.62%. Does this mean I'm not folding enough on the button?
I'm not sure what can be determined from my stats, but my guess is that I get too stubborn post-flop after raising pre-flop on the button.
