This is a good idea but it has some flaws in the execution, it has been proposed earlier in the thread but we didn't get the chance to discuss it in detail.
The problem with stats that are adjusted by position at the table HUD level is that it requires a tremendous sample size. We discussed this idea this past week with a panel of some of the best online poker minds over dinner, the general consensus was that it might be too confusing for the end user and in turn cause them to make a costly mistake. For example say you were 20 tabling and were 3 bet by someone who had a low 3Bet percentage from button but actually has a very high 3Bet percentage from the CO and MP (meaning the villain frequently flats on the button by is a very very heavy 3-better to isolate from other positions). If the 3bet percentage was virtually zero on the button you would receive the correct 3Bet positional stat - however it would not tell you the complete story about the opponent's play - hence using the popup which shows all prior 3Bets broken down by position is the best option. In PT3 as well as in PT4 we can already show the 3 bet percentage based on position in the popups, using this method is far less likely to mistakenly influence the wrong decision - which would be very costly.
Its an idea we will continue to think about nonetheless...
Although we hear your point, it is fair to say that most of our users would not agree, they don't want us to implement options that might cause them to make a mistake. I guess you can say we don't like to take chances ;-)
