I'll let someone else examine your stats as I'm not the best person to give advice on that aspect.

What I will say though is that stats only tell part of the story, post hand histories. People will instantly be able to tell you what you're doing wrong.

Are you tagging your hands for review? I'm doing that at NL5 (lowest stake at Bovada), and the leaks are eye-opening. :eek:

I wouldn't take the downswing too seriously at NL2, but would definitely try to learn from any potentially misplayed hands. Also, you should check out some of BlackRain79's YouTube vids if you haven't already.

At full ring, that VPIP would be considered a bit high, but at 6 max, I think it is too low. Perhaps you are playing a bit too tight pre. Loosen up just a wee bit on those starting hands. The other stats will change, and are, for the most part, just a function of what you start with.

A couple of non stat based thoughts;

We who prefer 6 max do so because we (sometimes) dislike the slow speed of a full table. Know that means we want more action. To come to 6 max tables and avoid action (that's where that 19+ VPIP comes in) is to avoid the very reason most of us prefer 6 max.

Under perfectly flat conditions, 16.667 % of the hands will be ours at 6 max. You are only making a play at 3% more than that. A bit timid don't you think?

Do you have any tips on how to find significant hands in a PT4 database without looking through them all individually?

and yeah been watching blackrain a fair bit..

Not really, although the reporting capability looks great overall. It really helps me to go through my losing hands individually, take notes on each street, then tag the hand good or bad. But I can see how that will be a chore with your db. I'm only at 5600+ hands.

Hopefully someone with more PT4 experience will chime in on the reporting.

I agree to loosen up preflop at 6 max.

I think your pre flop VPIP and PFR is fine. It's definitely tight but not too tight. You can definitely choose to loosen up a little but those 2 stats are fine to me.

I do agree with hutzpah you need to loosen up in LP more to steal.

I want to suggest defending the blinds more but I'm not sure how you play so it might not be a good idea. For me, I defend the blinds quite often and when I played 2NL previously I actually had a positive win in the SB and BB. It wasn't much but it was good enough because those 2 positions are the where you're supposed to lose money

Obviously we meant from late position since you'll be opening with a wider range.
