Hey guys I was looking at my earns o the blinds and I realized that I'm loosing too much money on the blinds, already changed a little bit my strategy playing more aggressive and doing different movies like leader the turn or river, check raise, but still being not too good on the blinds. I'm playing NL2 and I don't know if we need to be very good at this in this limit but I really loosing too much.
This is my results til now:

As you see it's a lot of loss on the blinds mainly on BB, witch is impairing my graph a lot, so I need to improve in this. What kind of things I could do to be better guys? There is some advice or maybe some videos that could help me out on this? I'm really working hard on my poker and I hope one day bring good thinks to help everyone improve in this blog. Cheers :f_drink:

Hey kappozo,

I have fixed your image for you. The easiest way to insert pictures is to simply drag and drop the image straight into your post. No more need to use image hosting websites as we have our own image cloud.

As for your stats, I'm an MTT player so can't really comment but perhaps some of our cash game crushers will have some suggestions.

Regards

Laz

I’m no cash game player ether, but I don’t think your blind stats are bad. The reason you lose in the blinds is that you need to invest a SB or BB in those positions and it’s almost impossible to win this all back.

I think your stats on the BTN for example is something you can improve more, because with a PFR of only 22,8% it looks like you aren’t stealing to often.

Cheers,

I'm not a cash player as well.
Just wanted to say that your stats reminded me of Owen Gaines, the author of Hole Card Confessions and Poker math that matters books and a crusher of 6-max cash games.
His stats are (were actually) as follows, on a sample of 300k hands (the example was provided in the book to show the power of position):

pos    bb/100    vpip%  pfr%
SB:   -19.04     22.1   15.7
BB:   -27.57     20.8   12.0
EP:    12.85     13.9   13.5
MP:    17.95     17.8   16.4
CO:    19.48     23.2   20.5
BTN:   32.34     30.4   25.6

As you see, SB/BB bb/100 are somewhat close to yours. He does play way less hands from EP and also had a good bb/100 from MP, opposite to you. I think your problem is that you don't play by position enough, which is required on 6-max.
Playing the same number of hands EP and BTN, playing almost nothing from MP etc.
What he says about the blinds? forget them, you're destined to lose money from there anyway.
Perhaps you can find something out the above stats

-Remember everyone must pay the same amount/orbit.
-Fold often
-reraise against looser players then bet out or check raise flop
-adjust and balance your actions.
-table dynamics.. what is your image etc..

Yes and to even begin to profit you need to win @ 10bb/100 just to cover the rake. That's why a 3bb/100 winner today is a crusher because he's actually beating his competition by 13bb/100.
