25k running like crap check up
 
So I've been running like complete [censored] all month, and it's finally starting to get to me. I haven't had a winning day in weeks. I feel that I am playing well, and these donks keep outdrawing me. But I've played almost 30k hands this month and im still losing? I'm starting to believe maybe there are quite a few leaks in my game. I owe to myself to try and find and plug these leaks. However I need your guys' help, kind of like a 2nd opinion. So anything you guys can do will be a great help. Ill even send someone my database if theyll look over it.
anyways heres my screens.

you dont really take advantage of your position and you're way too tight passive before the flop.

your losses in the blinds seem pretty high - you fold your BB to steals too often.

Your aggression factor makes baby jesus cry.

Flop continuation bet with position more. And perhaps sometimes without position if there are not many people in the pot with you.

If you don't feel this is applicable to you, work on finding more loose passive tables.... there are many on 2/4.

I think you just need to be more aggressive preflop in late position and a little more aggressive postflop in general.

U need to steal blinds considerably more. I think that most solid to good players have a steal percentage of at least 35%. Also as dyson said, you should be raising more preflop especially as you position gets better and if u are the first in or just want to isolate weak post flop players.

Though now that i think about it if u tried stealing more this would raise ur preflop raise % as well. I think that may be a siginificant leak.

good luck

Christ its hard when you try and become more aggressive when youre running like [censored]. I had to drop down to 1/2 tried the whole aggressive thing and was just run over. I cant even look poker in the eye anymore. I lost more in 1500 hands at 1/2 then i did on 2/4 hahah.

Here's what I noticed:
you made money at $2/4 and lost at $3/6= stay at 2/4?
You stole blinds less and protected your own blinds less at $2/4, and you lost the most money in the blinds = view the blinds as a "table time fee"- it's a weak position to play from later in the hand.

Beyond raising more preflop, it's not like we can give diagnose your game by staring at these stats. You've been a member of the board for 12 months and you've made 35 posts.

Post hands. Post thoughts on other people's hands.

Of course you'll run up 7000+ posts when you write pointless crap like that ^^ Anyways, what is wrong with his aggression stats? I'm catching sh*t on my thread for my AF being too high...
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showth...e=1#Post4273894

and this guy is catching sh*t because his AF is 3.4/2.8/2.3
What exactly is an acceptable aggression factor here fellas?

I asked him to post actual hands. Actual hand by hand play is the important factor here. Do you not understand this?

If you do understand this, do you believe there's a more direct way of pointing out his lack of engagement with the resources here than to point out his lack of posting?

Most of what separates good players who read these boards from mediocre players who read these boards is a willingness to look stupid by subjecting themselves to honest evaluation by their peers. That's it. He's had the opportunity to avail himself of the resources here, and apparently failed. What, exactly, should I tell him?

Logistik,

I'm down like 400 bigbets this month alone in 5-10 (6 max) 3 tables and 5-10 (full ring) 3 tables. I hear your pain buddy. I couldnt believe I have had such a swing as well. And that merely happen in 2 weeks span

Ignore the aggression factor comment above--including your preflop numbers is going to bring that down considerably. Your postflop aggression is very healthy, perhaps a little overaggressive.

As for the rest of your numbers, it's the most common shortcomings we see on this forum:

-Raise more preflop. Use your position.
-Defend your blinds more often. Steal others' blinds more often.
-It's okay to call postflop. It's often better to bet, raise, or fold, but you can't get into this pattern of thought where you can't just call a bet after the flop.
-You're folding too often postflop. Get to showdown a little more often.
