Default How about a micro discussion on 6 max aggression factors?

This is sort of a stats post, but not exactly a "WHAT AM I DOING WORNG?!?!" thread. I want to start a discussion.

Ok, so, for all you 6-maxers, what do you consider the ideal aggression factors, and, most importantly, why? I ask because I am much different (or at least I think so).

Mine, from a decent sample size (20k+ at 1/2 6 max):

Flop- 2.76
Turn- 3.03
River- 2.21

This averages out to 2.70. I feel this is a little high, but whatever, it works for me.

Now, why do I like this setup? CHECK RAISING. There is nothing better than sucking an extra bet out of LAGs in 1/2 6 max. It doesn't work as often on the river, so I only repeat (yes, this works) against opponents that are more or less ridiculous (aggression 3.0+). A lot of opponents will think they were supposed to fold to the check-raise and then bet again. But, again, this doesn't always work.

I feel that check-raising is why my turn aggression factor is so high, and I like it that way. It gives a lot of information, also.

When I check raise:

Flop- 25% (usually to pump draws)
Turn- 63% (very strong hands)
River- 12% (repeat, or I improved on the river)

Now, I'm assuming a lot of you don't check-raise as much as I do. I think we should discuss why. I feel like a lot of micro players are afraid to make these types of moves. They are taught that they need to get their money in the pot when they have the best hand--every time.

Let's talk about it! Post hands where you think it was a good idea with a read!
