hi akimka,

I looks as if you need to embrace your inner LAG preflop. Your VPIP, pfr, ATSB, and WTSD are all significantly lower than mine. I would recommend trying even harder to expand both your stealing range as well as your isolating range for bad limpers. Furthermore, you can probably defend your BB a little more: start calling with suited trash in raised multiway pots, defend with T8o type hands to steal raises HU, etc.

As far as postflop goes you seem to be over aggresive and are probably not calling enough, but I think if you embrace the LAG in you these should work themselves out. If you actively try and defend more and get to showdown more it should involve more calling and thus your aggresion numbers will start to come down.

good luck.

I don't think any of this will matter. He should be able to win with these stats on 2/4. This players problem is definately not related to blind steals, blind defence, tightness preflop or low went to showdown. There are things to work with in those areas but I don't think it should be his main focus.

I do think his postflop aggression is too high though.

I agree he probably should be winning with his current stats, but he definitely is not winning the most. EV+ is EV+ is EV+ and when I mentioned loosening his VPIP/pfr/ATSB/WTSD it is because he is losing out on positive EV situations that will increase his winrate.

Yeah he probably has some substantial postflop leaks that we can't see by looking at his stats, but for me one of the biggest things I got out of playing 6max for a while was expanding my blind play ranges and becoming comfortable showing down very marginal hands. Now when I play full ring I probably look kind of laggy to other TAGs, but I'm fairly confident I've increased my expectation. These changes appear in the stats I listed above and so since these are things that can be diagnosed by looking at stats I brought the points up to the OP.
