I posted my previous two stats on page 1, 7th post. 13.5k of it was at .05/.1, rest at .1/.2.
Thank you.
1) You open limp waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. There are games where open limping from EP may be fine, but don't make a habit out of it. But the fact that you are open limping more than open raising from UTG is a leak. If you want to get better and move up stakes, take open limping completely out of your arsenal.
2) Your VPIP from early position is too high. Take some hands out of that range. You can add more hands in late position if you want to keep your VPIP at the 22-25 range, which is ok imo.
3) You are a calling station. Showing down 45% of your hands where most pots are multiway can't be good. But you know this already.
This isn't your biggest leak however.
Your biggest leaks are your late position play, blind play, and aggression.
4) Your AF is 0.84 waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too low. Raise/3 bet more. MORE!! You need to stop limping so much. Start iso raising limpers more. 3 bet more. Your pf 3 bet % is only 3.5%, which is 99+ and AK basically. If there's a raise and like 3 callers, you can 3 bet a lot wider for value. Hands like JTs. If there's an open raise in mid or late position, you can 3 bet lighter.
5) Your blind play seems too timid. Your ATS is only 8% from the small blind. But your VPIP is 40%. You're not folding your sb in a steal situation, which is good. But you need to start raising a lot more. To at least 50%. Waaaay too low. I don't see your fBBts stat, but your VPIP is only 14%. Clearly tells me you are folding your BB too much. Start defending more. A lot more.
6) You don't steal enough. 15% from the Button and 10% from the CO is flat out bad. I would raise those to at least 40% and 30%. I guarantee that if you start attempting to steal more, you will see positive results.
Just my $.02. Good luck!
