    Default I can't crush micros (Stats included)

    Hello, I have been having trouble winning the game lately. Used to play NL10-NL25 on Stars and I was doing well until I jumped up to NL50, and for some reason started to play a different game. I was playing more looser and more aggresisve, and eventually lost a big chunk of my bankroll. After that I moved to another site which offered a bonus and started chasing the money I lost and lost even more. Rigth now I have a bankroll of 600$ and have to play NL20 on iPoker. For the last 15K hands I have been playing breakeven, and I really need your help to inrease my winrate, bankroll and help me plug leaks in my game.

    iPoker has faster software than Stars and now that I have been playing on iPoker I play more tables (5-8) than I used to when playing on Stars (4-5 tables).

    iPoker Stats: (NL10 is HU, so don't take that into account). NL20 is 6max

    PS Stats: Some FR hands included, so don't look at those.

    iPoker Position stats: (Only including 6max NL20)

    PS Position stats: (Only 6max)


    Notice that in my iPoker position stats the small blind is heavily red (-276.45). This is probably because I 3bet quite often if I think someone is stealing on the button. Should I just fold the SB and sometimes defend the BB, when someone is stealing? A leak?

    Yeah, the blinds aren't as big as deal when you are in them.

    If you are getting constantly called in position and 3b garbage becasue u 'think they are stealing' then that's an obvious leak... Tighten up.

    You should be more apt to 3b aggressive in position imo.

    Too bad pt2 doesn't have 3b stats.......

    Your folding the best hand too often and is probably evidenced in your non showdown losses. I am guessing that with your aggression your firing multiple barrels and getting slow played a lot. Your probably not controlling the pot enough with your showdown worthy hands as much as you think. Sometimes getting a fold is not the goal when betting, having worse hands bet or call is ok too. Folding out worse hands with no draws and no overcards on the turn is -EV. See a few more showdowns and use C/R's to allow you to check OOP with marginal hands for a showdown.

    Thanks Jyms. Good advices. Do you have any examples in folding out worse hands on the turn? Also do you have any other advices? Anyone else?

    Ps. I liked videos on GS. Good job!
