    Default A thought exercise about my stats

    Full Ring
    24/14
    PFR 14.3
    PF3 4.5
    Aggression 2.0
    Aggression Freq 46.0
    C-Bet 67%
    steals 33.3% of the time

    What sort of Difficulties will I have playing this way?
    What sort of things can you do to take advantage of me in this stat-block
    Would you rather have immediate position on me, or be on the exact opposite side of the table from me?
    Would you expect me to be a loser over time, break even, or a winner?
    --At the Micros?
    --At Mids?
    Is there anything you see that is absolutely out of place?
    Is this the type of stat-block that you see and think "donkey"?

    What sort of Difficulties will I have playing this way? - You'll find yourself in a lot of awkward spots with marginal hands, often out of position. Sometimes you'll be value towning yourself, as you're quite aggressive, especially if that c-bet% is overall rather than flop c-bet.

    What sort of things can you do to take advantage of me in this stat-block? - Frequently isolate you when you limp, which seems to be quite often. Sometimes float you IP or just raise your c-bets.

    Would you rather have immediate position on me, or be on the exact opposite side of the table from me? - Immediate. It's better to be on your left 90% of the time than half.

    Would you expect me to be a loser over time, break even, or a winner:

    --At the Micros? - Modest winner.
    --At Mids? - Can't say for sure (I don't play there), but probably slight loser.

    Is there anything you see that is absolutely out of place? - VPIP/PFR gap is wide. You're a bit loose, and in light of that, aggression is a tad too high. Steal % might be kind of low.

    Is this the type of stat-block that you see and think "donkey"? - No.

    Are these stats hypothetical? I hope this doesn't come off as rude.

    these stats are not hypothetical. You're not rude at all. I think the stats suck.

    Honestly, I NEVER open limp. But I call PFR's way wide. Probably with a good part of my range I should be 3balling with. I do limp in position a LOT with multiple people in the pot.. I get squeezed a LOT.

    Yeah, I guess stats don't always tell the whole story. I do a lot of what you just mentioned, but my game conditions are probably different, so the VPIP/PFR gap didn't become as wide. In fact, I even open limp sometimes with small PPs if I think I'm likely to get away with it.

    Your 3-bet % seems fairly standard. Maybe a bit on the low side (mine is around the same FWIW). What kind of hands are you calling PFRs with in LP? If you have HEM or PT3, and have a decent sample size to work with, you should run some filters and see what your winrate looks like you make certain passive moves preflop. Maybe game dynamics will sometimes dictate that you should make non-standard plays, and your stats might just look odd as a result. But they're just stats after all.
