Please bear with me here as my knowledge of using HM2 data and stats is pretty basic so sorry if this is a bit scrambled:
So I've spent the past 3 months running HM2 on all my online hands (sticking to one site for now for cash games) and overall felt really good about my play. But HM2 (and also my separate tracking of cash ins/outs) tells a different story. I'm not a huge stats guy in terms of everything HM2 offers so I'm looking for some help understanding the information better and how to translate that into actionable steps specifically in SB and BB opens.
Over a sample of about 40K hands (and maybe a few hundred of those are FR) the following information presented when considering position:
- On the button I'm at about 13bb/100.
- Cutoff I'm at about 5bb/100
- In middle position and early position I'm about 17bb/100.
But when we get to SB and BB it seems like I'm just spewing money to the tune of -20 to -29 bb/100 !
Looking at VPIP/PFR data based on position (and with my limited knowledge of HM2 data meaning): my VPIP/PFR from early position to the button is between 27/13 to 31/17 with the MP being tightest and button being loosest.
But then we look at the VPIP/PFR for the blinds: SB: 63/16 and BB: 41/10.
Another thing i noticed , and I don't really understand these stats fully either: Is that my Agg/Agg% increases when we get to SB and BB.
This data is eye opening for me. From a mental game perspective I suppose I'm simply seeing more flops from SB and BB, calling from the SB to see a flop, and getting into sticky post flop situations with medicore holdings. Whereas in the other positions I tend to fold more often preflop.
Obviously it's pretty clear, even with my limited understanding of HM2 stats, that if we took out BB and SB data I'm doing well but I have a massive leak at these two positions.
So any tips on fixing this? Is it really just a matter of folding more on SB and getting away from medicore BB hands sooner? And any deeper insight on this data?
Thank you, hopefully I can figure this out and turn this thing around.
