    Default Bad win without showdown

    My hold'em manager chart shows my win without showdown to be pretty damn negative.

    I have an overall + monies at 25NL but all the money comes from showdown and without showdown is like a straight line downwards.

    Is this because i fold too much? Or do i not try to bet draws out of my made hands enough?
    I'm obviously not too fussed as long as i keep making money but i feel it's a leak and i don't know what to do to stop it. I make TPTK laydowns against unknown facing aggression etc; should i be more prepared to risk my stack and make notes after?

    (I have Hold'em Manager so i dunno how to do total steal % but i got it from position)
    Attempt to steal from cutoff: 23.8
    Attempt to steal from button: 32.4
    Attempt to steal from SB: 35.8
    Won $ WSF: 42.9
    Won $ SD: 50.9

    After a 50k hand sample i'm +$72.18, Won $ at showdown $1810.40, Won $ WO Showdown: -$1738.30.

    Most worrying thing is in last 15k hands i've gone on a 20 BI downswing. With -$300 in the last 3k hands. (I think it's been coolers but maybe a few i could get away from, probably will post them)

    VPIP is 20.4
    PFR 15.8
    3Bet 5.5

    fwiw.

    Any help appreciated,
    Clar

    I'm assuming first that you play 6-max. Then I would think it's something about your post-flop play since your pre-flop play looks pretty solid as best as I know.

    Yes i do play 6-max and it's nice to know that my pre-flop is pretty solid thanks

    I think it is to do with my post flop play too. I know how to put people on ranges but i rarely tend to do it when it matters.

    I also seem to get into big pots with big hands and always be beat. Yet my stats would seem to show i fold too much.
    I think i get scared easily by big bets when i'm only holding a pair even though there is a chance villain could be bluffing, and may be folding the best hand because i don't feel comfortable bloating the pot with just 1 pair.

    Then again whenever i have a set, i tend to get it all in regardless of the action and never think to fold. I have only folded a set once, and it was in a 3 way pot when i had a good read on a villain.
    Example of previous statement would be like being minraised on flop and then on turn with bottom set but thinking "screw it i have a set poooosh!". Or aces with a low connected flop (e.g. 896 rainbow).

    I try to look over my hand histories and i have learnt a little, but some of the time i just think it was inevitable and it was going in. Is the best way to work on my post flop game just post HHs and talk about then?

    If i take away my play from the blinds i get a non-showdown line that breaks even.

    Does this indicate i'm leaking monies from the blinds or should i actually be making money w/o showdown at every position and the blinds make it go back down to even?

    Thanks,

    Are you losing more from the blinds than you would be if u just folded them PF? I don't user HEM so i don't know if it has these stats, but is there a BB/hand stat that u can filter for each position? When defending do u tend to call rather than 3-bet? U may just be calling too much PF then giving up when u don't hit.
    There's only one system. Bet. Lose. Borrow. Steal. Lose. Take the drugs. Lose. Prison. Death.
