Mega thanks for this, but are you also going to lay odds on how long it will be before we get the next “please review my stats” post?
Anyway, here is my *grunched* effort. As soon as I’m done I’ll check out what everyone else has said (three pages of posts already as I start this!)
Pokey asks us:

1. Do you have sufficient preflop aggression? To answer this question, open up your ring game statistics and go to the "position stats" page. For each position other than the small blind, divide the "PF Raise %" by the "Vol. Put $ In Pot." If you get a number smaller than 0.5, you're not aggressive enough out of that position.
|
In your early stats your PFR/VPIP ratio (as %) from the BTN towards UTG is 46% / 51% / 55% / 57%/ 52% / 49% / 44% - so you are not being aggressive enough either UTG or on the Button.
Limping in with over half your hands UTG is horrid. You invite lots of other limpers to join in, which begs any aggressive player in LP to put in a heavy raise of 4BB+1 per limper. Even if that limp was with one of the better speculative hands, like a medium PP, you may no longer get the odds you would need to make calling profitable. And you are also squeezed by all those callers behind you, and one of whom could re-raise – so you could call and still not see the flop.
What do the new improved stats look like: 61% /68% / 77% / 79% / 80% / 86% /86%
Nice!

Are you positionally aware? …. To test this, go to the Position Stats and look down the list of VPIP from Button to UTG. You should see that VPIP steadily dropping the farther you get from the button.
|
Your early stats again: How much bigger is the VPIP in each position (starting from the button again): 14% / 19% / 18% /15% / 6% / 4% which looks pretty good to me. You know about position. But boy, look at the new improved mpethybridge: 8% / 44% / 19% / 11% / 5% / 3% - just check-out that lovely step up (44% more) when you sit in the CO.
Pokey?

3. How's my stealing? To check on your performance when trying a blind steal, go to the General Info. tab. Where it says "Att. To Steal Blinds" I'd like to see that number at LEAST 20%.

Was: 16.79% (not enough) /
Is: 19.27% (nice - but could do more!)
mpethybridge’s DIY guide:

Postflop Aggression
PT calculates your AF by adding the number of times you bet to the number of times you raise, and dividing this sum by the number of times you call. chargers bets or raises 4.5 times as often as he calls.

Was: 3.65 (so good on the flop; you c-bet a lot right …. ) / 1.68 / 1.77 (… and give up if they don’t fold!)
Is: 3.17 (better targeted c-bets, I guess) / 1.98 (fewer calls) / 2.31 (
river value baby!)
Mpethybridge’s DIY guide
Was: 22.59 / 33.61 / 55.3%
OK, when I first saw this I thought it looked pretty damn fine. So I had to re-read the DIY guide and do some more homework. Now I would estimate that the slightly low WTSD and high W$SD suggest that you are not bringing enough villains holding marginal hands along with you to the flop. Put together with the high Flop AF above you are not getting three streets of value. You are telling villain to make the right move ( FTOP) when you should be encouraging them to make the wrong move (call or raise).
Now: 24.11 / 38.76 / 53.82
Cool, but your W$WSF is higher too! I need to think about that? Are you doing a better job of getting better hands to fold and worse hands to call?
OK, that’s me done, time to catch the school bus home.
