Obviously, you can only tell so much from stats alone. but if anything sticks out to any of you seasoned ringed veterans, i'd of course appreciate your insights.

as a side note.... i've played like 15 tourneys in 3 weeks. lol. before i started this attempt at ring i would play 6-12 $4-$20 180 man SnG's per day/night... depending on my schedule. LOL!

is this kinda pointless to post?

be more aggressive. play like 19/16 instead of 19/12. be more aggressive in late position and postflop.

Just glanced at them quickly... take this with a grain of salt as I'm not an expert on analyzing stats...

You seem to cold call too much, try to raise/fold more often. This will make you more aggressive and put more pressure on your oppenents. Not sure what else to add, there are no positional stats, just make sure you're a hell lot looser in LP than EP, and maybe try to cold call less from the blinds and 3bet more often.

W$ when saw flop: 37.95

is that normal?

seems low, if you raise/fold more often instead of calling, it will go up

fyp, youre thinking of aggression factor.

Great tip someone gave me as a beginner - never call. If it's not worth raising, you need to fold. This isn't the best way to play poker, but it's a good lesson in correct approach. Certainly never ever limp until you're a better player I think. For now I would only call preflop with pocket pairs that aren't worth raising if you're getting 15:1 in implied stack odds for set value, and suited connectors (the implied stack odds for suited connectors/gappers are debated. I use 25:1 to be safe against unknowns. These figures change according to your opponent).

I'd say your W$WSF is good considering how much you call preflop (that's to say it's bad over all). I'm much more aggressive preflop than you are and mine is something like 41% - apparently this is to do with the stationy conditions at micro.

I'm not sure why you're cold calling so much preflop, or what with. Are you flatting AJ, or suited aces? If so, don't. Raise/fold these hands. Until you're a good enough player to put together a decent argument as to why you shouldn't, only call preflop with pairs and decent suited connectors in position (gappers as low as 57s).

Cbet way more. You'd probably make more money cbetting 100% than the amount you're cbetting. If you're cbetting so little because you see way too many multi-way flops, raise bigger preflop. Try cbetting 100% HU, and 100% 3-handed as the last to act (again, not optimal, but a lesson in approach). Only rain it in 3-handed if it's very drawry. If you're second to act 3 handed, and you have 5 outs - say a gutshot+back door flush - fire away. My point is it's probably better to cbet too much than not enough. It's not just a tactic for winning the current pot, it's a set up play for when we do have a hand.

What's your went to showdown? You're W$@SD is high. Show down thinner. It's fine to show down second pair/JJ on a queen high flop against some people (use reads before you decide to do this!). I'm one to talk though, mine is about the same. I'm starting to wonder if this is just something to do with playing at micro-stakes.

When I post stats I like to screen-shot more info, the position stats, and the main level stats, and then post the image on ImageShack.

hmmm i think they're inter related... ppl with high AF will have high WWSF no?

I just meant for him to get out of the calling mentality and into a bet/fold mode.

yeah but if you fold you cant win the pot. so that doesnt help your wwsf. yeah he needs to be bet folding more and more agressive in general i agree, but hes also probably giving up and folding to easy in spots where he could call too.

As evidenced by his W$SD%.

He needs to stop playing like his blinds matter and start playing like the pots do.

post your stats by position

No necessarily. You might bet raise every street, then fold to a river bet. That would give you oo AF. I've got a low WWSF but an AF of 5ish.

yeah, getting to the river and folding too much is the most common reason why micro/ss players have low W$WSF. I know this from experience.
