    Default TAG or TAGfish

    Hey guys!

    After I have played exactly 20005 Hands (2 NL on pokerstars), I want to know if I am a TAG or a TAGfish.
    To be honest, I feel like I have improved alot, but maybe that is what I just want to think;D On the other hand, I don't limp with A9o (and then call a raise) anymore like I did when I started^^. Or I don't overplay Overpairs (against nits and TAGs) and get owned by set mining that often.
    So I really want some feedback. And besides that I want to know if I am slow learning guy in poker, because it took me over 20k hands to get into the green zone.

    1.) My stats FPDB

    VPIP14
    PFR 9
    3 BET 3
    st 25
    fst 84
    car 9
    cbf 83 (I guess it is to high and should be about 60)
    fcb 59
    afr 29

    F3B 52.4
    call 3B 37
    F4B 60


    2.) My EV as you can see It was a rollercoaster and I was pretty sad when I was once loosing 17 USD...



    I have seen graphs from others, how were able to make +EV from hand 1, so it is depressing somehow...
    I am thankfull for feedback and replies.

    Are you playing FR or 6-max?
    You're too tight, either way.

    PFR/VPIP = 9/14 ~= 64%
    Aim to get that close to 75%.

    At FR, a TAG style would have you closer to
    VPIP: 19
    PFR: 16
    3bet: 5

    At 6-max, it's even wider.

    You should be really attacking when you're on the CO and BTN, and playing somewhat conservatively in MP and very conservatively in EP. Being OOP post flop makes most hands unplayable. Being IP post flop is where most of the money is.

    I'm guessing this is "steal" and "fold to steal"

    You should be stealing with a range of 40 to 45% from BTN. Something like 25 to 30% from CO/SB.
    You're folding to steals too often. The thieves are making plenty off of you PRE. (Even if you're making it back post, you can be doing better pre w/o losing that post-flop advantage.)

    Dude, you have 9 cars? I'd say you're doing quite well for 2NL.
    (I don't know what 'car' means, in this context.)

    Seriously, though. I don't know what all of these stats are, but they're telling a story of too much folding and calling and not enough aggression.

    car = call a raise (PRF)
    cbf = C-Bet flop
    fcb = fold to C-Bet flop
    afr = pre flop agression (in %)

    F3B = Fold to 3Bet

    I often fold QQ to a shove from a TAG or NIT, of course I know that they also do this wit AK but when I called I feel like I always encounter AA or KK...

    You're calling too much pre-flop and not stealing enough. You should have something like 14/12 instead of 14/9. You're missing a ton of very +EV spots because of this.

    You should join my Free NLHE Foundations Course.
