Help me find some leaks. (my first post)

[GregStarling]

First of all, thanks for all the help you've all given me and not known about. I've been looking through these forums and reading the 2+2 books since about the first of the year. I've wanted to post, but didn't feel I had enough knowledge to add anything. I finally broke down and bought poker tracker a few weeks ago and wanted some advice on my stats. It's a fairly limited sample (just over 5K), but I hope that is enough to go off of. I only play $1/$2 short handed (6 max). I'm looking for two or three things. Where am I wrong here with these stats? What can I look for to spot leaks in my game in stats that aren't here? Any advice for a guy who's learning?

I think I'm a bit too passive, but I'm not sure how to improve that. Any help is greatly appreciated, and I appreciate the help so far.

A tad loose. A tad too passive post-flop, it looks like you call down with second-best hands a decent portion of the time.

I'm sure you'll get some input here on this, but I'd try posting it over at HUSH (Heads-up & Short-handed).

You limp waaaaaaaay too often.

My VPIP is ~23, and my pfr is 17.5. I think I need to limp a little more, and raise a little less, however. I think you should be shooting for about a 16% pfr.

By the way, either you're running well, or I'm running crappily (probably the latter), but my W$WSF is 35, my WTSD is 33, and my W$ASD is 50.

EDIT: Also, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too passive postflop. Raising more preflop would probably help that, as you'd often have initiative.

HUSH would be a better place for this.

I've been playing a little 6 max lately, and I think your stats look a little too tight/passive.

I would say too passive preflop and you go into call down mode too often. But I don't play 6 max very often so I could be off my rocker. Post this in the short handed forum for a little more insightful analysis.

That PFR looks very high for this VPIP. Do you only raise PF outside the blinds? It's not a sin to limp. 1/2 6max games are very passive so you have a lot of opportunities to limp and a lot less to steal blinds - eliminate players by raising PF.

No big deal, just trying to get you with the best possible people to help you.

did everyone read that we're talking about a 6max player? his VP$IP is about right. too passive preflop though

edit: passive postflop too.
