That's because the file is on your hard drive. You have to point it to a URL. Try using imageshack.

See what I'm saying...you have a big aggression factor, but it is only a figment of the fact that you fold so much. You are nut peddling and (as you can see) doing so will make you a small winner in this game, but you will never be able to "crush" it. Stop playing scared man!

so my folded to river bet %, and went to SD % are off? Not to get too bogged down in the numbers....

You fold too much. Your WTSD should be about 5% higher.

You should be going to WAY more showdowns then you are. Your WTSD is under 26% and it should be up in the 32-35% range. This could be due to the fact that you are blowing everyone away, but from looking at your numbers it seems like you are folding in pots that you should be calling or raising in.

I didn't have this problem in .5/1, maybe the big bets are scaring me. I also seem to be betting big aces UI then check/folding river HU like everytime. I am lost when it comes to A-hi river play.

You aren't seeing the showdown enough. This problem will be magnified because of your extreme aggession. Basically, it seems like you are playing your hands really aggressively on the flop and on the turn only to eventually fold them on the river. Stop playing them quite as aggressively - call a few more times so you can see the showdown for the same price. I doubt most people would advocate a flop aggression of over 4 at 1/2. Maybe at .5/1 it wouldn't be as bad because the players are looser. But, the players at 1/2 are a lot tighter, so it becomes a problem, especially if you are playing somewhere like Absolute, where almost everyone is a rock. I would say aim for a flop aggression of around 3, not 4.

you really need to see showdown more often, without question. from playing with you, i would say that you are trying to make too many 'big laydowns'. remember, paying off on the river is often the correct play, especially when the pot is big and your opponents are aggressive. your wtsd% will go up, your w$sd will go down, and you will find a happy medium. reread the river section of sshe and start calling down in more marginal situations.
