50K checkup Do I really Suck?

you're playing way too meekly- steal and agg factors are all really low. pfr and steal could both go up a few IMO. Attack, perhaps u need to forget you're betting and raising with money.

more fuel to the fire.

from my PT database (all players) at 10/20-- 6 max:

Average VPIP: 38.12
Average VPIP of winning players: 40.5

what are your stats, win rate, etc

I like players with high vpip, they tend to know more about short handed poker

if you're trying to suggest this implies that winning players on average have a VP$IP of 40.5, you have a severe lack of understanding of very basic probability.

Sir, I applaud you for your misinformation campaign. Hopefully, more 2+2 posters will adopt the excel/jayheaps style instead of the winning TAG style.

it should make intuitive sense. in these games, the biggest long-term losers are weak-tight players who can't adjust from full-ring games. I am not advocating any specific strategy, just that in the games I play, the winning players tend to ON AVERAGE play a few more hands.

The biggest long term losers are not weak-tight. If you play in the game, I don't see how you can believe that.

admittedly, loose passive players lose alot as well. part of it could be that i just target games with players will low aggression. actually, i could datamine for a while and probably get a better answer to this question.

Personally, I think there's some funky shiit going on in this board. Everybody knows that calling with the 2nd best hand is a losing strategy, but all poker authors agree that raising with it is even worse, (assuming your opponent doesn't fold much, which is definitely the case at every level I've played at). Advocating an uninhibited lag style is perhaps an attempt to make the most sound online players losers. Never underestimate a man's greed. Just MHO.
