won $ WSF:42.87

Kinda new to PT, thanks again for the help.

You're playing too tightly for 6max games (not just from the SB); even given that this is a small sample size, this appears to have resulted in Won$WSF & Won$atSD both being a little high. It can seem counterintuitive to think of anything involving "won" as being too high, but when these stats go upwards of the normal average, that generally means either that you're running insanely hot or you're leaving some money on the table by passing on smaller +EV situations.

CallMeIshmael was kind enough to compile the average stats from several winning players at 2/4 & 3/6 full. While 6max is obviously going to be different, this should at least give you a general idea of what you should be aiming for (in 6max, you basically should be playing more hands & raising more hands preflop).

Just as a disclaimer, playing a lower VPIP game will still produce good profits, particularly at relatively soft games like Party 5/10 6max, and will obviously create much less variance in your win rate. If low variance is more important to you than squeezing every dollar possible out of the game, then ignore what I said above & keep doing what you've been doing. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
