5/10 6 max 10k hands checkup

[bank]

These are my first 10k hands of 5/10 6 max (I recently moved up after beating the 3/6 for 2bb/100 hands over 30k hands)

I couldn't fit my c/r % in there but it's .91% of all possible actions.

Am I defending my blinds too much? My folded bb to steal is 49% which is pretty low. That's probably my biggest concern.

Any input on leaks would be appreciated.

Not if you play well postflop... because your sample size is so small it could easily be a few % less and you've just had a better sample of cards to defend with...

1) You're running hot
2) You're not value betting enough

I'm not sure anyone can identify any real leaks from this.

The only thing I notice after a quick glance is that you are rarely limping. I think you could probably find a greater number of limps behind other limpers from late position. I think typical UTG / MP numbers tend to show little disparity between VPIP and PFR, but the gap typically widens at CO and Button. I know I find a number of hands that are worth seeing a flop from the button that aren't generally worth a raise everytime behind limpers.

Thanks for the help guys.

Catt: Can you give me a few examples where you would rather limp than raise from CO/Button...is it only when the blinds are loose and/or the limpers are poor preflop yet play pretty well postflop?

I want no maniacs in the blinds. That said:

UTG limps, MP limps, CO folds, I limp 97s on the button.

UTG folds, MP liimps, CO limps, I limp 33 on the button.

UTG limps, MP limps, I limp JTo in the CO.

UTG limps, MP folds, CO limps, I limp 45s on the button.

Basically, you're looking for the pretty multiway hands that you so often fold at a 6-max table but that you played at full ring. I would rarely raise these hands, but I would want to play them in LP if I thought the chance of a riase from the blinds was not too great.

I think most players VPIP/PFR looks more like:

UTG: x/x
MP: x/x+1
CO: x/x+3
BN: x/x+6

(generalization of course)

Thanks for the examples. I have been limping in those 4 situations you listed.

Really?

Just struck me as odd that of all the hands you play on the button, you're raising 95%+ of them. Depending on table selection, 5/10 is often passiv enough to limp a greater percentage of hands (read: marginal) on the button. I wasn't (and am not) very spectacular at 5/10, but my button stats were ~30/25 with very little (less than 0.5%) coldcalling). I was reading through some of the archives recently, and saw similar (10-15%) differentials in VPIP / PFR from some solid HUSH oldtimers.

In any event, I wouldn't call it a leak - you're obviously doing well -- but it might be something to think about.

Where do you get this from?

He's sitting at 2.02 BB/100 hands, it's not like he's at 6 BB/100 hands

Winning 42.2% of time when seeing flop is pretty high isn't it? Given that, winning only 2BB/100 and 1.5 AF on the river may indicate a few missed value bets. I personally thought the stats looked pretty good though.
