small sample
u normally should fold bb to steal below 50
u should raise more from CO or BTN

the sample is always small, duh
until I have an infinite amount of hands I can't have a sample that's 100% correct

how do I adjust to loose blinds? Because I've been open-folding my button when I have a bad hand against people that are like 40/10 or something stupid like that
Maybe that's why Fnord doesn't like sitting in those positions :/

you are raising too wide from ep, and getting called by hands that likely dominate you. on top of that, you are trying to push THEM out of the pots with your aggression, and they are just calling down because of your HUD stats.

essentially, you are coolering yourself hand after hand from ep/mp.

start inducing bluffs more often by showing weakness. let aggros overbet their hands into you and pick off some bluffs.

mix it up a little. you cant just keep your foot on the gas. they will call you down and minimize their losses against you, but maximize their gains with marginal stuff.

oh, and because you arent maxxing your own value, the blinds are tearing you apart. its not about defense. its about post flop reads on general player styles.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

oh, and it IS a small sample. variance at 6max games, especially LHE, is through the roof. therefore, you need much larger samples to get even a clue about how you are playing.

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

You're running bad from the blinds and/or you suck at blind defense.

Sick thought: Minus rake, you ran pretty close to even.

I've been following that for a while, constantly being aggro was the 1/2, and I slowed down a lot, as you can see my AF is 2 in the last 8K hands

but good catch on the ep raises (no such thing as mp in 6-max)

Definitely defend more out of the BB.

Be a little less aggro on the flop and turn.

Yeah and it does look like you're raising close to the same range of hands from every position. Tighten up a bit from EP, loosen up a bit from LP.

Tight, solid ABC poker wins all the way up to 3/6. Bet and raise your good hands, call when you have odds to draw and fold otherwise.

Yes. If you're a good player, please go play NL with Fnord.

just laughing Fnord off and his comments, albeit true, earlier. ...when he told me that "due to rake at LHE tables, enjoy blackjack."

i still laugh over that one.

look at my august graph, my last 10k hands are amazing, but i cant expect that extreme winrate to keep up. I definitely ran good, and it will also happen the other way running bad.
Think in terms of 50k hands to start analysing your game a bit more.
