First, I think you are running poorly. But I also think you have 2 real leaks in your game from your stats.

1st, your PFR from SB is too high, even for 4.6 players. Position is so so important shorthanded, and you need to remember even though you might have a small equity edge and .2 BBs in the pot, playing out of position sucks. I would drop this by around 5%.

2nd, your WTSD is too low, espcially for this shorthanded. You are not letting over-agro players bluff and are folding too much. I have to go to class so cant go into more detail.

Good luck.

tighten up preflop. go to 22/17 or so. this will make postflop a ton easier and shouldnt hurt your *earn*

Look at the average players. I bet his 6 player numbers are close to this.

I play HU and 3 handed occasionally when the rooms die down...thats where a good portion of the aggression comes from.

I know an awesome player who has over a 700BB downswing, so I dont think it automatically implies you are a loser.

I'll give you my two cents since you aren't berating the fish anymore.

The one thing that looks strange to me is your position stats. You have the same hand range for UTG and UTG +1. Nitpicking but you can probably add some hands from UTG+1 or remove hands from UTG. More worrisome is you jump about 7.5 % points in the CO and again on the Button but your winrate is the same as UTG +1. This, coupled with your sub-par blind winrates leads me to believe that you are bleeding money in heads up situations or when it is you against the blinds after a late position raise. I would review those types of hands and start posting questionable ones. Start with sessions that were memorably awful.

He isn't running badly. He is putting in too many bets when he is behind and/or not enough when he is ahead. 34% WTSD and 54% W$aSD tell me that he is winning his fair share of hands, but he takes his losers too far and doesn't make up enough from his winners.

My suggestion is to drop down a level and work on value betting more and his hand reading skills. With his aggression numbers he is likely betting, raising, checkraising, and 3 betting too much on the flop and the turn in bad situations(or good situations that then go bad).

Yeah, I chuckle my arse off everytime someone posts a whiny post and plays a laggy game. I like DCW though. But here is a thought, Schnieds ran 21/16 during his 60K in 60 day challenge. Are you a better player than he was then? No? Then why are you playing more hands then he was? To finish a limerick, (No insult intended, I just like using them)

by PTjvs

Guy A was a noob who ran hot
He thought he was good but was not
When it came to pass
the dumb fish lost his ass
He said "Variance sucks, cuz I rock!"

Guy B, an unfortunate smchuck
was having the most terrible luck.
He'd fix leaks by the host
by putting his stats in a post
called "I thought I was good, do i suck?"

Whether you are Guy A or Guy B
It makes no God Damn difference to me
When it comes down to it,
your <font color="red">90k</font> hands just ain't [censored].
and [censored] ain't what we come here to see.

This is something that many have long-forgotten. Most of the best HUSHers were 21/16 during that heydey of late '03-mid '04, and they won heaps of $.
