I want to get some feedback on my skills and my leaks. If you have any kind of help for me, please post.If I'm playing like crap, tell me! DO NOT HOLD BACK ON YOUR COMMENTS! I can take it. I know my poker is flawed greatly and I want to help patch it up with your help. I know it's only 4500 hands, but I would like to get some easily noticeable leaks fixed so I can make a little more money.Position GeneralMore Detail(you might have to click the picture to make it bigger)Thanks,Austin

I don't see much there to condemn. The 64% VP$IP from the SB is probably too high, but that's a nitpick.

could you just give us the gen stats and the more details stats.

Your vpip is too high everywhere.The SB should be something around 33%From early position is should be somewhere closer to 9%

I'm no expert, so take this with a grain of salt. First, your VP$IP is a bit high. 27% isn't ludicrous, but I think closer to 15-20 is optimal. (?)Second, your small blind is costing you more than your big blind. When I first started, I noticed this as well, and it was because I was overplaying marginal hands after limping from the sb (J9 hitting a pair, etc.). Remember that you are in the worst position post-flop while in the sb, so if you don't hit the flop hard with marginal hands, it's best to just fold and take the loss. After noticing that, I paid more attention to what i was doing in the small blind and now my average loss from sb is 20% that of my bb.Also, I might not be completing often enough, but my sb VP$IP is around 31%. Yours is double that. Yours may be high, or mine may be low. I think until my post-flop skills advance much more, it's best to fold some of the marginal sb hands that some people would complete with. It makes for easier decisions after the flop.The position 6 and 3 losses are nothing to worry about. With only 4.5k hands, you will have some variance still. My 3 off the button was down quite a bit as well up until around 5k hands, but now it is getting back closer to my other MP stats.Your cold call preflop is also much higher than mine (4 times as much). Again, I may just be a tightass, but there are very few hands that I cold call with. Most are either fold or raise. In fact, I was looking it over and in 8k hands, I have cold called 16 times and won one of those hands.. You should see how many of the cold calls you are winning, it may surprise you.Anyway, maybe some PT vets can give their input as well. I'm interested to see what they think about your stats, as they aren't that different from my own.

Thanks for the responses so far. Kdawg, I think those are the stats you wanted (I edited my original post with the links). If you need/want anymore of my PT stats, just ask and I'll post them right away.

Your vpip is too high.It looks like you are defending your BB too much.you aren't stealing blinds enough. should be around 30%You need to check less after you raised preflop on the flop. Autobet most flops. Be more aggressive on the flop, too.You're not going to showdown very much...but they may be do to small data base.Did I miss anything?

you need to get your CR stat up to about 2%. YOu need to cut the amount of hands you play by 10%. YOu need to fold 50% more from the small blind. In other words you need your SB % to be around 35%. I'm pretty tight out of the SB, but that is because I play at a 1/3 blind structure where you need to be tighter with your blind
