Can you guys give me some advice based on these stats?

anybody?

First: Judging stats is really hard to do, and having the "right" stats isn't a recipe for winning poker. Stop posting stats and trying to fix them. Start analyzing your play.

Second: What are your preflop stats?

Leak Buster actually makes the stat analysis fairly simple and in my opinion is very accurate. I do agree that just adjusting stats isn't the recipe for winning poker, but data has shown that winning players do play within certain stat ranges. Adjusting to get within these ranges has definitely made my game more profitable.

Yeah, winning players have a range of stats. For instance, their pre flop raise can vary between 10%-40%. It's pretty easy to fall within those limits!

Actually Leak Buster shows the optimal range for PFR% to be between 15.5 and 21. I agree that you can play outside of any range and still be profitable, especially at higher stakes, but you still may be leaking money in this area. Also to be fair, this is only one category out of many. Most winning players are outside the optimal stats in a few areas, but over all the biggest long term winners will be within a specific ranges.

So you take the word of some random not-well-known software as the way one should play?

Different stats are optimal for different limits. The differences can be huge. For instance, try having a 10% 4bet at 25NL and see what happens. Or a 15% 3bet.

Besides the stake, a huge factor is your style of play. No style is 'best', there are big winners that are nits, big winners that are lags, and anything in between. Each style comes with its own set of stats that work best for it

Another huge factor is the table you're playing at. Even a 15% PFR can be big for some tables. I wouldn't put too much faith in such a program, beyond the basic stuff

For micro to mid stakes players, yes I would take the advice of this software. It effectively finds your leaks and gives advice on how to correct them. It also has an algorithm that adjusts to your stake level. Like I said before it has made my game more profitable and there are many others who agree so my "faith" has merit. I'm just trying to give advice that I have personally benefited from. If you know of a more cost effective and efficient way to identify leaks and correct them, I'm all ears.

You can have a PFR of 21%, and raise stuff like 27o and Q4s, while folding aces. Sure all the long term winners have that stat range, but do you know how to obtain those stats?

My last statement might seem like a joke, but its really not. When you're on the button with a hand like KJ, and someone else opens, all 3 options are decent (raise, fold, call). Knowing you're supposed to be a 21/16 isn't going to help you determine which the best course of action is in this case.

Also, I'd say your ideas are opposite. For microstakes, the players you're playing against are worse. So you can easily deviate from "optimal" stats in order to play a more exploitative game. At high stakes, your opponents do not suck, and they know how to properly punish you for doing things like raising 75% of your hands from the button.

I'm not saying leak buster is pointless, but save that for after you work on all the hand reading/hand analysis skills. They're just going to give you stats that are averages, against the average opponent. But knowing how to deal with situations against fish, regs, stations, ect. so that you eventually arrive at that successful average is really what plugs leaks.
