New Player Stat Analysis Please?

^^^ Yes, yes, yes!

I advise you to start w/ FR and not 6-max. One reason is that the variance is higher on 6-max tables. Partly because (and this is huge) when 1 or 2 people sit out or leave, the table goes to 5-max and 4-max right away. The blinds are coming around to hit you much more frequently and your tight play will cost you more than it makes you. These are spots where you must know how to play post-flop because you have to get in there and fight for the blinds with marginal holdings. There is just a bigger skillset required, so save it for later. Focus on 1 thing at a time.

Right now, the discipline to fold ATo from early position is enough. The discipline to not get upset when the flop comes TTA is even more important. This is a source of tilt. Take every hand that goes to showdown and make notes on how every player played that hand. Use these as spots to ask yourself questions like: Could player A have bet more/less to achieve a better result? Could player B have folded there?

You'll get plenty of practice in marginal situations when you are checking your option on the BB. This is the time to learn about playing random hands OOP (You will quickly learn that even a hand as good as bottom 2 pair is tough to play OOP.)

Thanks for all the input, right now the lowest stakes I can play is 2/4c and I feel comfortable with 3 or 4 full ring tables. I am going to play out the bankroll I have, and not worry if I need to replenish it. I have played a lot of poker over the last 4 or so months live and online, but the multi-table thing is new to me, but helps increase the amount of hands I play and the video lessons that taught me to fold almost everything has helped alot too. I don't want to ask for a site here, but maybe I need to find a US friendly site that has 2nl instead of what I am forced to play at my current site, with good rakeback.

If you're rolled for it, or are prepared to reload, which really amount to the same thing, I don't expect 4NL is that much tougher than 2NL and is probably a decent enough place to start.

I hadn't really considered the issue of 6max vs ring in terms of what happens when people leave the table, but MMM is absolutely right - 6max does require a different style and might be OK if you only ever played at full tables, but the dynamic changes dramatically the moment anyone sits out or leaves, so I'd second his advice and say play full ring for now, as you're very unlikely to be less than 7 handed there, so the dynamic won't change anywhere near as much when the table isn't full.

As MMM says also, be wary of playing out of the blinds. It's a really tough position to play from so you want to play pretty tight (at least initially). No matter how well you play, in the long run you will lose money from the blinds, that is inevitable, but you want to learn how to minimise it.

A good range to play is to open from the SB the same kind of range you'd open from EP - if you get called, you're guaranteed to be OOP for the hand.

From the BB, if the SB limps, open the same range you'd open on the button - you have position, and the SB has limped so has shown weakness. Later, you can open any two cards in this situation, but for now your button range should be wide enough. This situation is a perfect example of just how important position is.

You probably NEVER want to cold call anything from the blinds for now. Literally never. Either reraise or fold. Only exception is if you're in the BB calling an SB open, since you'll have position, but you might still benefit from a reraise-or-fold attitude, since then you'll not only have position, but also have the initiative.
