Which stats seem out of line? I'm probably bluffing too much and my MP gameplay is probably leaking a lot.
The first thing I noticed was that your style is very different to mine. I'm not saying my own numbers are
better for that limit (I'm having a tough run in my latest microstakes zoom excursion, while playing a bit too "balanced", rather than exploitative), but your stats indicate you're definitely tending towards a much more aggro/bluffy style than me.
Overall VPIP/PFR/3b numbers look good/standard, but post-flop I think you're being too aggressive, as the C-bet% and Agg% are pretty high, and the WTSD is lower than average. (You're not seeing many showdowns). With regard to c-bets, I think you might be betting too many low equity hands, and not checking back enough top or middle pairs that work better as bluffcatchers. You're probably c-betting too much when OOP as well. You need to develop some checking ranges in spots like UTGvBTN, especially on boards where you're gonna get floated a lot. (For reference, my c-bet frequency UTG is only 35%, which is probably too low, but yours of 64% is almost certainly too high.) When coupled with your high barreling frequency, it seems you're probably giving villain easy folding decisions when you're ahead, so you rarely get the chance to induce bluffs, or take free cards when they might be beneficial.
It's pretty difficult to isolate exactly where any leaks might be, or what quick fixes I can suggest, but from the hands you've posted on the forum, I think you've been too eager to raise with draws in spots where calling would probably be better. Playing a bit more cautiously with mid-strength hands might be beneficial too. A bit of pot-control goes a long way. You've got a high WWSF, but winnning a lot of
pots doesn't necessarily mean the same as making a lot of
money. If you want your mid-strength value hands to get paid off, you have to slow down sometimes, and just go for two streets. Equally, you don't have to triple barrel with every draw in your range. You can/should give up with some bluffs on bad boards where you can't rep much value. Your style is also "high variance", which is fine if you can handle the swings, but I don't think it's necessary to be so aggro in the micros. Speaking of variance, this is still a pretty small sample, and you could just be running badly in some ways. (Losing in MP while winning UTG is an example of variance. You probably just had poor card distribution and a few sick coolers in MP, while you ran better UTG). The next 20,000 hands might be a sick heater. Good luck!
