    Post Progress thus far. Want input (4K hands, pics included)

    So,

    I broke 2k hands last night on 6-max, bringing me to total of 4k hands across FR and 6-max. Took me a few days, 2 tabling every now and then, 4-6 hours a day. Last hour or two is spent sudying or reading.

    I know this is a small sample size, but please bear with me here. Was wondering what glaring leaks present themselves to you already. So let's get started:

    Summary and Statistics



    - This is just a general summary showing how I'm doing BB wise in 6-max and FR. Overall, I have to say I'm enjoying 6-Max better, I feel more comfortable with figuring out percentages, betting, and raising. Though I can't help but wonder if I'm just feeling a lot of upswing there, so will definitely need more hands to see how I'm truly playing there.



    - Full Ring: I think I need to tighten up my VP and PFR a little close together, or possibly even bring my VP down a tad more. I need to learn to three bet more or stop folding to a lot of 3-bets maybe? Need to learn how to defend my blinds better. Getting robbed a lot there.

    - 6 Max: Definitely playing pretty LAG here. Although it seems necessary with these fish (since I'm stealing a lot of pots and taking a lot of dead money), I still need to tighten up. This type of play isn't going to help me in higher stakes (I think?). Since it is 6 - Max, I think my opening range should be a little high still, maybe like 24/20? 22/18? I'm definitely defending my blinds a little better, but I need to keep in mind I shouldn't be defending crap. Either back it up, or don't defend.

    Positons



    -Full Ring: Wonder if I'm opening a little too wide on the button? My VP and PFR on the SB are pretty gapped, should I be closing this gap, even on the SB? Raise it or go home I guess? Same thing on BB. Either dump it or bump it.



    - 6 Max: Wow...look at those blinds. Definitely playing too loose in them. Need to tighten that up a bit. Definitely need to look at closing the VP and PFR gap in a lot of these positions. What else needs to be cleaned up here?

    Overall Graph and Finalization



    Definitely going in the right direction (Up!). Anyone have a link to what the red line means. I know this gets asked a lot, I've been wanting to read that threat, but every time I get around to it, I forget where I saw the link, lol. It's starting to go down, so I know I need to figure out how to get it going back up, lol.

    Overall, I recognize I still have a lot of problem areas to work with, and that's why I posted this, is to get some input, and open my eyes to stuff I didn't see. Will definitely start posting more hand histories. I'll be honest, haven't really been thinking about marking them for review. Will start doing that more often. I think I'm getting the hang of this (Now watch someone walk in, completely blow my mind set away, show me how donkish I am, and make me start completely over with what I thought I knew.)

    Ok, so let the Grilling begin.......

    "Looking at my old posts, I realize how much of a DONK I was. Time to change that and TRULY learn how to play poker. No more ego. No more pride. Just me, my cards, and the great knowledge bestowed upon me by FTR."

    Play more hands. 2k for each game type is nothing. Looks like you're on a heater in 6max. You're too fishy in 6max, too loose and passive VP$IP/PFR. Don't get caught up with the red line. If it's a sharp downward line, then worry about it but until then, focus on the green. You will make almost all your winnings at $2NL from showing down the better hand, NOT making someone fold. Keep that in mind. Come back and post stats after 10k hands imo. But definitely post HH and ask questions in the meantime.

    Just not enough hands. Post when you have more. In the meantime, you seem to be vaguely positionally aware at FR, but then not at all at 6max. Tighten the shit up in EP.

    Something to think about: What's the difference between the button in 6max and the button in FR?

    get to 15k hands

    As of now, looks like you are running hot.

    VPIP at 6m is way too high imo. Bring the PFR and VPIP closer together. Tighten up in EP and keep late position about where it is.

    yea tighten up utg, become more positionally aware, and dont post stats until at least 15 or 20k , so annoying everyone posting them every 10 minutes and us saying the same things, look at other peoples stat check ups and look what people said in there, the same probably applies to you
