Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7126417, member: 397965"] You are down around 11 BIs over a small sample of 7.500 hands. This in itself does not mean anything at all. Swings of far more than 11 BIs are normal for cash games. I also think the sample is to small to look at any of the more detailed statistics. However it does stand out to me, that your VPIP and especially PFR are very low for 6-max, and you also have a low 3-bet percentage of just 5, which helps to explain the low PFR. So you seem to be playing a very tight style, where you only play the best hands, and all your 3-bets are basically for value. Its a style, we would traditionally call TAG and bordering on nit. This can be a winning style in the micros, but its not the most winning style, and it also does not challenge you to become better by experiencing more difficult spots with marginal hands. Your nitty style is not the reason for your small loss of 11 BIs or at least not the main reason. But I still think, you should set yourself a goal of eventually getting all those numbers closer to a LAG or GTO style. Start by opening up your range from CO and BTN and attempt to steal the blinds more. And also throw in some light 3-bets from the same positions. If CO has opened, you can profitably 3-bet a lot of hands from BTN and put some pressure on him. You should probably also defend your blinds more especially the big blind to small raises without multiway action. Your C-bet percentage is quite high, but this is likely related to preflop. Because when you only raise very strong hands preflop, then you end up on the flop with a strong range, that often wants to C-bet for value. And therefore it does not make much sense to dig deeply into postflop stats, when your preflop play is this far from GTO. Finally if you think losing 11 BIs is "having a bad time", do yourself a favour and study the mathematical phenomenon of variance. This is a free tool, and if you plug in a standard deviation of 100, which is typical for NLH 6-max, and 7.500 hands you will see, that losing 11 BIs is within the 95% confidence interval for a player with a long term winrate of 5BB/100. So its a bit of a bad run but nothing extreme at all. The 1 million hand graph with these parameters show downswings of up to around 40BB.
