Let's do it again

On Cake again this AM.
No fish in the pond. (Well, besides myself. If you cant find the fish at the table….)
There where a couple LAGs, but I never got into a good spot with any of them.
Happy to break even. I can pat myself on the back for playing pretty-mush mistake free.

The last couple days I’ve been looking up the players at the tables I’ve been on using pokertableratings.com and poker-edge.com. The crazy thing is that out of the 20 I looked up only one was a winning player. Even the players with “good ratings” where waaay down. It made my meager loses actually look good. It must be the rake. Thank god for rakeback!

Besides the fact that I am not finding a lot of loose passives, I am wondering lately if I am not playing optimally because I am under-rolled. Having only 15 buyins is probably making me play scared. I think I can move up while playing a little scared but it will be a very slow process, which in itself tilts me.

I continue to struggle on Cake...
I feel like my biggest problem is that I am very rarely able to extract any value from my made hands. People are just way tighter now than I am used to.

Anyway, here are my stats from just Cake. I know it's only about 5K hands, but does anyone see any major problems here?

You should post these in the BC forum. IMO you're not 3betting and stealing nearly enough for 6max and your VPIP and PFR are too far apart (you're cold calling too much and if I had to guess you open limp as well). If the games are as tight as you say they are you should be railroading people from the CO/BU. I would imagine you could defend your blinds a bit more in 6max as well since stealing ranges are wider than FR.

I never open limp. Well, like .01%. Never say never right.

You are right about the VPIP-PFR spread and I am working on that. I just find it very hard to fold the small blind when I have multiple limpers in front and the BB has a PFR < 10. I dont mean to defend my actions, I'm just asking if that is a legitimate place to call.

The tightness I'm finding is more post-flop. I'm wondering if I'm being too aggro or over-betting with good hands. I used to slow play more often, but EVERYTHING I am reading lately says bet for value, and I agree with it. It makes perfect sense. But I feel like I'm struggling to find the right amounts based on villain, board, etc.

I'm feeling like my game in the past must have depended on a spewtard or two at every table, which I am not finding lately. There seemed to be plenty on Everleaf, but not on Cake.
