(NOTE: Taking posts in reverse order)

1. No. You are coldcalling/limping way too much preflop. Also, your postflop aggression is much too low. Probably because you are chasing draws by calling down, or calling down weak made hands. Also, your WTSD% is on the high side, particularly in the light of your low aggression.
In fact it looks like you are open-limping a lot of hands (limping from early position). Just don't do that.
The only hands to limp along/coldcall are lowish suited connectors and low pocket pairs, and sometimes medium hands on the button in family pots.
2. If you are doing this with regularity, yes.
3. No. Sample size too low.
4. It seems so. For starters, just stop calling in the small blind. Treat small and big blind like you are UTG, and don't call if you wouldn't there, unless you are getting 8:1 odds or the like.

@ DiddlyDee:

Stats are rather meaningless for tournaments, since your strategy changes so much as the blinds grow (or at least, it should ...) . Given that, I'd say you look too passive both preflop and postflop. Tournaments are about (1) survival and (2) getting people to fold without having to risk a showdown.
You look fairly passive from your stats, which isn;t helping either of the two main goals.

@ sworaven:
Very impressive graph, that's what a really good player's graph looks like. SO whatever you are doing, it is pretty much right for NL10.
You do look slightly on the passive side, though not a lot. I'd say just give NL25 a shot, but try to be a bit more aggressive, especially with position. I'd say you have come to a stage where you can try to exploit the power of position a bit more. Be careful, because it's easy to overdo the aggression thing, but you can easily add some aggression in position without becoming easily exploitable.

Edit: don't worry about running over EV, but enjoy it. We're all entitled to running hot every now and then, don;t waste the opportunity.

@ morladim: I can't see your graph, you're posting it wrong. Have a look at the correct syntax of one of the posters who got it right (by pressing QUOTE on their post and see what the code looks like).

Hello,

I am new to this site. Below please find my stats. I'm struggling with the 0.25/0.50 NL 6max. I'm playing the 50BB not the 100BB.

I am certain that I have many leaks, but it would be kind if someone would point them out for me. I did suffer a number of bad beats in my last sessions, but before that, I was about even. So I can't just blame the bad beats for the bad performance.

Thank you in advance,
Danger

@DangerMousePoker:
The stats look generally OK. One thing that seems off is that you play about the same in UTG, hijack and cutoff, then open up huge on the button. This means you are too tight in the cutoff and somewhat in the hijack.
The only other thing I note is that your W$SD% is VERY high. Probably too high -- I suspect you are folding quite a few winning hands. This is also indicated by your graph: your non-showdown results are very bad. I think you probably need a little extra aggression, and some more reads on when you are getting bluffed off hands.
That's not easy though, since competition at Stars/FullTilt NL50 is quite strong (though it seems the 50BB are indeed softer on Stars).

@DangerMousePoker: I agree with fabadam that your stats look ok. You can be a winning player with stats like that. You must have some leaks postflop that aren't identifiable by just looking at stats. With 27000 hands you can't just blame it on variance anymore.

Thank you both very much... Are there good threads about learning how to read? I read a few in the archives, but ... not sure if meant much to me any advice or good reads would very nice.

Thank you,
Danger

The SSNL Link Collection (Sticky Post on Small Stakes NL forum) has links to a number of very good threads, some of them on this sort of topic. Just have a look through that set to get started.

hey guys, can you please give some advice based on my stats ? And how should I analyze my stats as to find leaks ?

Hi to those reading this. I would appreciate some comments on my stats/graphs below. I moved to cash games about 5 months ago and play $.10/0.25 NL Full Ring. I previously played sngs every now and then but only really started trying to learn properly when I moved to cash games. After an initial loosing streak I do appear to be winning now and have finally moved into a positive situation. This can be seen also in my monthly figures. However, I don't know if this has been luck that will run out pretty soon. From when I started to improve all I can think of is that I started to give more value to lower pocket pairs and suited connectors, when in position. It would also appear that I am very low in 3betting and am not aggressive enough pre and post flop. I am very worried about my red line which is giving me a -12.19 bb/100.

Any comments welcome. Thanks.

Essque:
Typing this from my iPod so short
Basically you mostly seem to lack aggression.
Some hints:
1. Do not open limp ever
2. Only limp or coldcall with low pairs and suitedeur connectors, or sometimes when vertint huge odds
3. Post flop, do not call but fold or raise, unless you are trying to let villain bluff
4. It is time to start trying to finder Some good bluff spots. You now seem to be betting with strong made hands only

Hello there. Since this thread hasn't gotten any action in about a week, I thought I would throw my hat into the ring.

I just recently decided to take up 5NL Rush (full ring) on FT, and thought now was a good a time as any to take advantage of PT3's free trial. Currently I have played exactly 15K hands, and wondered if anyone could comment on my graphs and details and help me out with some advice.







I've noticed three things conspicuously wrong myself, which are my VP$IP/PFR being too far apart, my Button PFR being quite low (which I hadn't even noticed during play), and my Cold Calling Pre-Flop %'s being pretty high. Is there anything else that seems wrong and is there any advice/criticism for how to fix it? I appreciate any input.

MattJC: You've noticed most things yourself, but your biggest leak seems to be that you are way too passive postflop. Your Aggr Factor is below 2 on each street, while it should be nearer to 3 at least. This means you are calling too much and not betting/raising enough. It looks like you are only ever betting strong made hands, and not using your position to win pots without a hand

NL5 rush FR.

Huseens: looks like the typical graph of a weak-tight player. Your positional awareness is good, so that is in balance.
Overall it looks like you pretty much raise preflop with a tight range, then fire 1 c-bet and give up everything after that unless you hit big.
That is too transparent, especially since it is exactly how most super-tight players at your level play.
This means your W$WSF is very low (38%) -- with your tight tange you are going to have the best hand an awful lot, so you should easily end up above 40%.

I'm not sure how NL5 Rush FR should be played, and what the table character generally is, but it looks to me you are not pushing hard enough on turn and river, or not getting enough value there.

Hello

My NLHE2 6max graph and stats @PS are below. Now I have 30BI for NL5. Do I have significant leaks to eliminate before moving up?


Red line is function of x = -ky of course

Seems like you are on a heater since your WTSD and W$SD are big.

and running ~6BI under EV?

Edgars: Stunning results with such super-nitty stats preflop. You are extremely aggressive postflop (as you should be with such a tight range), and it seems to be working well. There is definitely some run-good there (see big blind score for example, no way that's sustainable) but overall you seem to be doing well.
When you feel comfortable, you could try loosiening up, especially in late position, to slow start making some more moves.

My turn!! I was advised to utilize this thread by some fellow 2+2ers.

Here's my story:
I started small a couple years back and grinded my way through every limit until I reached 50nl. Some personal things came up and I used the money to handle that (college expenses). I'm back at it now and won for a while, but the last week or so it feels like I've completely lost it somehow. I've moved back down to 5nl until I can straighten out/figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong.

I would like to get some sweat sessions going and really work through these issues once they are hopefully identified. So anyone looking to sweat or just talk poker, my skype name is ftbll401.

Well... the stats will be up as soon as I can figure out how to post my screenshot to the message.

First time poster long time lurker. I'm rolled for 10nl but I want to make sure I can beat 5nl first. I beat 2nl for 11 bb/100 over 20k hands. First 10k hands didn't go to well although I felt I was playing good. This is 6max http://img831.imageshack.us/i/statslq.jpg/

CHemicalweapons: For 6-max, these stats are super-nitty. I'm not sure how you get 6% UTG PFR, even 22+/AK is more. 14/10 overall is more of a fullring number.
I can't say for sure that this gets exploited at NL10, but I'm pretty sure it would get exploited at NL25: if you are that tight, it becomes very easy to play against you.
Postflop you are a bit too passive (AF should certainly be bigger than 3 with such a tight preflop range). Judging from your graph you are probably being weak-tight a lot postflop too, you should be winning more pots with your range (W$WSF should be higher).

Thanks for the reply fabadam,

UTG I'm opening 22+,ATs+,KQs,AQo+,KQo. You think I should open up KJ's and QJs also? Your right post flop I give up to easy when I miss the flop.

Hey... I created a photo bucket account but can't seem to get my graphs posted. Can someone shoot me some advise? Thanks.
