Positional stats / 'ideal' VP/PFR stats' / $ won without SD

[fisherman]

This deals with multiples topics rolled into 1. I realise that there is no 'correct' answer to any of these questions but I'd be interested to see what you say.

1. What are good positional stats in 6-max for a 20/18 type player. What is out VP$IP / PFR UTG and OTB?

2. What is our ideal VP$IP and PFR? At 25nl I was playing too nitty - about 17/13. However I tried 50nl and found it much easier to push people around. At 25nl I was didn't want to raise lots of guys OTB with junk because they were so loose I knew they'd call with ATC (and yes this is with me trying good table selection). At 50nl I was running 21/18 and felt I could raise some 15/12 with ATC in his BB (ATS was 40%). However this was only over 500 hands so I may have just been getting good cards. My hands won also increased from about 11% to 15% and that was definitely partly attributable to me stealing loads of pots.

3. Finally at 25nl I was having real problems with my $ won without a SD because that was well in the red. I felt like I was getting chipped away constantly. This was probably due to my nittiness and also because I'd raise OTB with Ax for example, miss, be afriad to CB because I know the 60/10 limper is calling me with bottom pair and then the pot would get taken away from me. For my short spell at 50nl I was able to break even when I didn't go to SD which I was very happy about. Is breaking even good?

I run between 15/10 and 20/15 depending on the table and my cards. I cant see much point in setting a specific goal at 6-max. If you're not adjusting to the table dynamics and your opponents, thats a bigger leak than one or two percent change in your PF stats.

You want people to call with ATC in the BB, they'll either fold to your c-bets a lot, or call down with crap v's your TPGK hands.

I fixed my won $ w/o showdown by calling a lot more. Probably not ideal for everyone though. I'm just lucky to play on a site full of bluff monkeys so it was easy to change a fair portion of my lost $ w/o showdown into won $ at showdown.

I think breaking even is a good sign. Remember it includes the blinds you're paying, so if won $ w/o showdown is break even that means you're paying for your blinds on those hands and making pure profit with your showdown wins.
