    HI guys,

    Like said in the title, i have huge problems with the NL2, im pretty sure it's my game that is the problem.

    I played about 18.000 hands 6MAX and lost for 50$, so i think it's very weak.

    My stats are :


    VPIP 17.72
    PFR 13.51
    WWSF 45.30
    WTSD 31.96
    WSD 46.05
    AF 2.86
    AFq 52.38
    3BET 5.02
    Fold 3b 66.11
    ATT to steal 28.73
    Fold BB to steal 82.72
    Fold SB to steal 85.66

    My Graph




    Could somebody please tell me if you find a leak or something, i really dont know what it could be.. I find my stats acceptable but i dont know..
    If you guys want to see one session of mine or something im ready to upload one or two..

    Thank you very much for helping a noobie :)

    You should move up in stakes to where they respect your raises.

    Seriously, post some hands. Its hard to say why you suck without examples of you sucking.

    Hey man,

    Just from the stats posted above, i'm certain that your vpip is too low for 6max ( look for around 24?) and pfr (20??) < probably higher... the closer these two figures are is probably gonna help you. The stats you have are more for a frng on the tighter side also. Definitely add more hands into your range and i imagine just playing solid poker at those stakes will turn it around.. By no means am i a reg cash player but i hope this helps.
    There are lots of threads for cash strat so keep looking and keep playing/learning.

    18k hands is not a very sufficient sample size to analyze leaks, but if you are using HEM you should run the Leak Buster app. I think most of the stats you are concerned with are in the free trial, though you would get a lot more out of the full version. Even though it's a small sample you should still be able to find blatant leaks.

    I actually have pokertracker and i dont know if there is the same option on it.. I do know that 18k hands is a very little sample but i went broke on 18k hands so i couldnt play longer lol.. Im beginning a long run of watching videos and reading a lot of articles for this month of august and i have plan to put 50 other dollars on my account on september.. Thank you guys for the advices :)

    In the first hand why are you not raising when the sb limps?

    I was sure this was the best play because the table was very loose passive and folded a lot on raises.. So i wanted to barrel every flop very hard.. I know when I see it that my All In on the turn could be called by only a hand that beats me like trips or two pairs but on the action i thought it was the best play..

    I know i should've made a squeeze but i was afraid of scaring away the players..

    Is that a real big mistake?

    I don't think its a huge mistake but I still think you should be raising pre imo.

    In hand 8 you should probably ck the turn. I think you can probably just take out 3barrel bluffs at this limit.

    Hand 1 please raise KK pre, to like 12c.
    Hand 2, fold 63s UTG, then fold it again to the button 3-bet as you are oop.
    Hand 3, raise the turn much bigger, easy river call.
    Hand 4, Bet bigger on turn, I think fold river.
    Hand 5, please 3-bet especially bvb, to at least 20c. Postflop is standard.
    Hand 6, your flop c-bet should be a little higher, like 30-34c. Just give up on the turn.
    Hand 7, super standard.
    Hand 8, check the turn, but to c/r imo.
    Hand 9, 3-bet pre, looks like a squeeze, and you're oop. c/c river.
    Hand 10, 3-bet pre, you're oop. C/r is fine as the board is wet, but make it bigger like 24c, with the minraise he can continue with ATC. Easy call though.
    Hand 11, 3 bet bigger, get a standard 3b size too like 3.5x oop and 2.5x IP or something similar. c/r much bigger again, you give him the price to call.
    Hand 12, why are you so shortstacked? Turn on auto-rebuy. Raising the river achieves nothing, c/c was perfectly fine, you can never be called by a worse hand on the river.
    Hand 13, why aren't you c-betting? Fold to the weird turn 3-bet.
    Hand 14, raise pre, you are OOP and would prefer to take the pot down now. Post is ok when you flop the nuts i suppose.
