50k 1st stat post

[bart123]

I have not posted before but have 50k hands in my pokertracker and thought I would ask for your input
on my game. Please comment.

I noticed something really weird about how I play but
it is working for me at these lower limits. I am not
aggressive in full ring but when I play 6max my numbers
on PFR and total aggression pull into line with what
most of you consider proper play. Any idea why? I play
looser in 6 max as well and would like comments on VPIP
numbers here. I tend to play more hands at this limit
which I think is correct but I want to do it right so I
can move up and continue winning at higher limits someday.

Thank you for the advice. My last picture is only $1/2
and $.50/1 6 max showing the aggression numbers there.

Those are some detailed stats. It looks like you are a winning player, but the one thing that stood out the most is that you have had as much raked as you have won. That is just wrong. You have got to play higher where the rake is not such a factor, you will make a lot more money.

Here's something for you to think about. My .50/1 full ring stats are about the same as your 6 max stats (27/12 but close enough). However, I'm winning 6BB/100 after 50,000 hands. The funny thing is I don't like 6 max.

Most people that have posted semi-tight/semi-weak stats here at the .50/1 level either are not winning or not winning much. I'm surprised you have been able to win over 3BB/100 like that.

My advice would be to take some of your 6 max game back to full ring (if you decide to play there) and see what happens.

you are too passive

I'm thinking from the little i've played at .5/1 6max(screwing around) that something like 25/18 is the goal

full ring about 21/12 .. you are well below the PFR on both, which usually means you don't take advantage of your position as it improves, and play hands like TT-77, AJ, AT passive

Wtf? Don't use pokertracker myself, but if "raise first in %" means what I think it means, what are you doing on the button? I guess I would have something like 50% there...

That is typical and nothing wrong with it.

Bert - you have to seperate the 6max and the full ring - those two should not me in the same stats.

How can the rake be higher than the actual winnings? i.e the rake at 1$/2$ is over 4 times the amount won.

Because the "amount won" is net of the rake.

for what it is worth (maybe not much), my 1/2 winrate took off as i learned to raise more preflop. i used to be a 19/6ish player at .5/1 (like you), and then i learned to be comfortable at 19/10ish. it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it means that you are raising >50% more hands preflop. especially in late position where most of the raising happens.
