Re: 10/20 (6) Datamine Confusion
I would be surprised if this guy is a long term loser as his stats don't appear to be too far off. I imagine he's not a happy bunny at present though.

If you feel you have to call the river bet then betting out is clearly better. However you might be able to find a c/f here given your read. It's disturbing that so many in this thread feel you are...

Cheers for that, it's always useful to see how decent players play a range of hands. Most of it looks pretty standard.

Re: TT flops set vs. semi-lag blind stealer
The thing is he will likely call a turn bet anyway. If he has JJ QQ and decided to wait to the turn you may well lose a bet by not leading as he might not 3-bet while you of course will.

Re: 25,000 stat check
i think a 30% stealing percentage is fine for 3/6, the blinds are looser so your not going to run people over as much.
