New to SH play, how are my stats?

[Spicymoose]

I am fairly new to playing short handed, and although I feel like I am starting to get a grasp on the situation, I want to make sure I am not doing anything too out of the ordinary.



The only thing that jumps out at me is that my FRB is at an insanely high 52%. I don't really know where this is comming from, as it seems my WTSD and W$SD are at a somewhat normal 34% and 51%. I usually call down with A high HU if I have been betting up until the river, but don't improve; but I don't usually call with less than this. I feel like I normally call with most pairs on the river unless the board is ridulously scary.

Anything else look odd?

Thanks,
Spicymoose

A few things:

VPIP/PFR is good.

You may be a bit to aggressive. Remember, not everything is raise/fold.

You seem to fold your BB to steals a lot. Try to defend them a little more.

As for 7k hands:

- I think 25/19 is a little loose if you're fairly new to shorthanded play. I think its best to start a little tighter and slightly add more hands.
- 43.5% Att. to steal blinds is pretty high, I'd say 30-35% is ok.
- You're too aggr.
- FRB is too high
- c/r more

Are you playing mostly full 6 handed tables, or are you also playing 3,4 and 5 handed often?

folded to RB is atrocious.

Yes, I really don't know how to use this weapon too well. I think the only situations I check raise are the following:

1. I have a big draw, and good position on the flop to trap everyone for 2 bets.

2. I have a somewhat good made hand, and have good position on the flop to face people with 2 bets, and protect myself.

3. Someone 3-bets me on the flop, I have a huge hand, so I check-raise the turn.

4. HU out of position I check raise most flops if I have a pair or so.

I think this is about it. I have heard of check raising the turn as a semi bluff with a decent draw, but I don't really know how or where to do this. Can you give me some good examples of where to check raise?

I usually sit down at a table and don't leave. Sometimes it even gets to heads up, but if that lasts for too long I leave (unless I am with a complete fish).

Your vpip could be too low in that case.
as could your PFR, it is hard to tell without filtered stats.

Filter stats by number of players under the position stats tab, and post that. We can give you better feedback.

You just gave yourself 4 good examples of where to c/r.
Oh, and #3 is not only to be used if you're 3bet. If you're raised OOP by a LAG. Don't auto 3-bet him, but smooth call and c/r the turn.
Remember these stats are just over 7k hands, so that % doesn't mean a lot.

This may or may not be a good idea. If postflop play is bad with marginal hands, then more money is lost playing them.

Tighten up. Go for 23/16 and tone down the flop agression a little bit.
