Aggression Stats Check Up

Here are the aggression stats from my 10K NL25 run so far.





Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback so far it is much appreciated.

Holy crap you are aggressive postflop! Does that work out for you?

I'm like 1.6 preflop aggression total over my last 4k hands at 20NL.

Im no expert by any means at analyzing raw stats, but I noticed a few things.

You seem to defend your BB too much and your SB not enough. Im not sure of the "ideal" numbers, but a 50% defense rate just seems too high.

Your VPIP/PFR seem fine, but I think you are losing a lot on the turn by being way too aggressive.

So while you arent playing loose, you are playing very aggressive which seems to be a leak, probably getting too much money in wiht the 2nd best hand.

Id personally suggest tightening up a little bit or atleast turning the aggression down a little bit utnil you are more comfortable postflop.

Again, if Im way off people, tell me.

There are some people floating around this site with an AF greater than 7 or 8 who are definately winners...

Ok sounds good.I'll look over my hand histories for those second best hands.Hopefully there's still time to save my HE career.....

I find postflop aggresion (or hitting sets) to be my biggest sources of income at $25Nl, alot of ppl will call u when u have them dominated and rather than risk scare cards (for either of u) on the turn and river I like to try and put things to a decision on the flop, this also helps my preflop raises alot since people will start to realize that most likel;ly they will have to call both the preflop and a large flop bet to see their hand through, and im basically always raising some amount with every hand in my tight arsenal, how much is a matter of position but even UTG I will min raise low PP (which usually makes the better players at the table suspect u have a very strong hand) to both create confusion and more action in the future. Also Im raising large preflop on AK, in a similar range as I would fo TT-QQ and if I miss the flop where i go depends mainly on who is in the pot and if I think i can fold them representing an overpair. If I hit an A or K on the flop Im playing the hand very fast, once in a long while i get caught by a set like this but much more often some idiot calls most of his stack on something like JK, QK, or AJ. (I guess they didnt read the part about them being trouble hands) . U will be amazed at how many players u can double through at $25NL on the flop with AK.

I wasn't trying to say it's bad. I was just surprised. I should probably play more aggressive postflop.

I think the hardest thing for me has been working on the selective aggression part.I've had some days where I played my draws like made hands,then other days where I laid down TP to some punk bet on the turn or river because I felt that I was beat.I'm trying to address the situation now.

I have been intentionally trying to reduce my post-flop aggression lately, and my stats are now basically 3/3/3 flop turn and river compared to an average of 3.5 a couple of months ago. I think I am scaring too many worse hands out of pots and losing too many cont bets and probe bets to better hands.

I think being hyper-aggro on the turn is better than on the flop as it looks less like a cont bet. But I think you do it too much - it must become very obvious pretty quickly to an aware opponent.
