Hey CC. I kno there is some poker players who are skilled and understand far more about the game than i do. I have been playing .01/.02 nl 6 max. I seem to have finally just broke into the positive. I have almost 30k in this limit and at 6 max. I was wondering by my stats is there something someone can see maybe that is a leak in my game thats costin me tons of money. I am really at a loss and would like any input. I want to really take my game to the next level but seem that i have huge leaks that are costin me money. If there is anymore stats i need to post just let me know and i will repost thanks

The only number that stands out on a first look is your WTSD, which is way too high. However, you also have a W$SD at 57%, so the conclusion there is that you've been running hot and that your high WTSD is probably OK for the hands you've played. Other than that, I think it looks fine. Your steal% is (much) lower than mine but since stealing depends on fold equity I can't say whether or not that's correct for the stakes you play.

Here's something for you to post, though: Your numbers for each position (I don't use PT3 but I'm pretty sure there's a way to sort your hands by position).

Your numbers for PFR/VPIP should be going up steadily as you reach later positions.

If you want to experiment with a more positional preflop strategy, try this (at your own peril):

I'm tigher than you in the first position, but I'm much looser than you on the button. UTG, I think a default opening range that looks something like 77+,AQ,AK is about right. It may seem horribly tight, but you're not going to be making much money in that position with medium strength hands. The position after that, add AJ, KQs and all other pocket pairs. In the cutoff, add suited connectors down to maybe T9s, throw in QTs and KJs, all suited aces and maybe down to A9o or so. Then on the button, open really wide. All aces, all kings, all suited cards, Q7o+, J7o+, and maybe some other fun hands. If the players in the blinds are really loose, stick to a "value" range where you throw away the worst of that range but you should still be able to play really loosely. And versus tight blinds, open 100% of your range.

I see so i should tighten up a lil more than i have been in UTG and middle position. I will try that thanks for the advice. As far as opening up in late position when i do that it seems like i get 3bet a ton and end up foldin the hands. Should i start to maybe 4bet light to see where i stand in position. It seems like when i get 3 bet i tend to fold. is that something an opp. can see and use it to really pounce on it. I know when i started to tighten up a lot more i rarely got 3 bet. Also was just wonderin what are some good number to be tryin to shoot for in 6 max games.

Being 3-bet isn't the end of the world. 4-betting light is one way to counter it but it's not the most important adjustment you should make. The most important adjustment is to not open as wide when you're 3-bet a lot. The second most important adjustment is opening up your value 4-betting range. If you open wide in late position and you get 3-bet a lot, consider being willing to get it in with TT+, AK (or even 88+. AQ, however, is only for your value range when you're dealing with a maniac; it's much much weaker than most people think). Only in third place of importance comes 4-betting light (that is, as a bluff where you fold if the other guy shoves).

Second, besides adjusting your ranges, make your button raises smaller (minraise or 2.5x) when you have a wide 3-bettor in the blinds. My range for opening when I'm "tightening up" on the button is

22+,A2s+,K2s+,Q7s+,J8s+,T8s+,97s+,86s+,76s,A7o+,K9o+,Q9o+,J9o+,T9o

That's about a third of all hands. When he 3-bets me, I'll be 4-betting him a little more than 10% of the time with the intention of getting it in, I'll be flatting him about as often (with, say, 99-88,AQs-AJs,KQs,QJs,AQo) and you can widen your flatting range a little bit more if his c-bet% is very high.

You'll still lose money when you get 3-bet, but that's unavoidable. Or rather, it's not unavoidable (because you could tighten up to a point where he'll lose money from 3-betting you), but the money you make from stealing wide when they just fold is still greater than the money you lose when you get 3-bet. If that makes sense.
