3/6NL 6-max: Losing when 2-4-handed
 

I have a small sample size of hands at 3/6NL 6-max, 18,601 hands, but recently noticed an interesting statistic. I am playing an extremely profitable game 5-handed and 6-handed but am a losing player in 2-4-handed games. A large part of this is due to my inability to let go of a hand or bluff in a very shorthanded setting. I partially answer my own question by stating that, but I was curious if anyone else has similar statistics or anyone wanted to offer any advice on how to tweak my game a bit. I find myself raising any A in a 3 or 4-handed situation and getting myself into trouble as a result. Well, discuss away...

First off, play more hands. Your sample size is way too small and you'll have bigger swings when it's 2-3 handed. Secondly, if you don't feel comfortable in those short handed situations, don't play them unless you've got a total donk on your table. Just move plain and simple, Party as too much game selection for you to settle.

are these ptbb or bb? I think the sample size is too small. The normal standard deviation for 10k hands is about 3ptbb/100. Assuming those are bb, only the first two are more than 1 STD significant.

Less players, more variance- you need a LOT more hands to even start looking at your stats.
