Showing down way too much given that VPIP. CC way too much in BB. (defending top 50%+ range vs 3b/4b???)
In b4 moved to stat thread.
I think you are a little confused about a few things here.
First, what you are talking about is preflop looseness, not aggression. Aggression is a postflop quality.
Second, even though most people may not go above 36/28, it doesn't really mean anything. It depends on your abilities whether you can play a looser style, not on what style works for others. 40/30 is certainly doable and that has been proven by many.
Third, there's no such thing as showing down too much given a vpip. I think you mean that he can't have enough strong hands in his range to go to showdown that often, but it's not that simple. The laggier you play, the more shots your aggressive opponents will take at you, so if you just start to fold a lot postflop, you might as well save some money and fold preflop. That doesn't mean you can't play a winning lag style with a lowish wtsd, but many good lags have it in the low or even mid forties. There's no such thing as a right wtsd, there are some extremes which probably can't work, like I haven't seen anyone winning over a long sample with a wtsd way below 37 or way over 45, but it's a stylistic thing and doesn't depend much on your vpip.
Fourth, idk if you're using HEM or PT3 but in HEM, your BB defense counts as CC, even if it's just one bet to you, doesn't need to be a 3bet. As long as you are calling and not 3betting, it's a CC.
OP, your stats look fine. But if you are 12 tabling with a very laggy style, you are putting yourself in many tough close spots with a weak range while your attention will be divided between them all the time. That inevitably leads to sending bets down the drain on a regular basis. Unless you are god's gift to poker you probably need to choose between a more conservative style and many tables with a decent wr, a laggy style with less tables and a higher wr, or too many tables for what you can handle with your style and living off of rb only.
And yeah ship this to the stat thread.
