I think you're close c9.
I am known for giving my opponents not enough respect for a hand I think. Trying to blow them off hands where it's clearly not going to work and I shouldn't even be doing it in the first place.
My AF is insanely high for this limit probably: AF 5.12 Agg%: 38.6
WTSD: 26 W$SD: 42.2.
How do I fix this, I feel like I've been doing this for my whole poker career :x
Give up more.
Yeah, your AF is pretty darn high, your WTSD is at a decent level, and your W$SD stat is quite low. This usually indicates that you
bluff too much. Look at board textures & their calling stats (Fold to c-bet, WTSD, ect.) and figure out when they're strong. You'll get a knack for it.
Your AF & AFq are both higher than mine (I run about 4.0, 35%-40%), which is worrysome because:
1) You're playing full ring, I'm playing 6-max. When you're playing Full Ring, you're up against a stronger range of hands, so you should probably be bluffing less.
2) You're playing lower stakes, and at a bigger site. So while regs at the limits I play may be able to fold top pair/over pair type hands, they probably haven't developed those skills at your limits. Thus, you should be bluffing less. Plus, there's more fish, who just call too much with whatever the **** they have.
3) I'm a bit more experienced, and so I'm probably better at picking bluffing spots.
All of this leads to 1 thing: Your AF & AFq are really high, and while its possible to play a winning strategy like that, you're certainly not making it easy on yourself.
So yeah, give up more. You also might want to consider moving to 6-max or heads up, where your bluffy, more aggressive style might pay off better. But even at 6-max, you'd still have some obvious leaks in your game. I used to be the same way, and I love to just be like "**** you, I'm bluff raising the river with air". And often its a good play to make, but you need to learn to recognize the spots where its pure spew. You're in the learning process right now, and of course its costing you money.
But yeah, that's where my signature came from. The biggest leak in my game was I would just try to get too fancy. Vanilla straight forward poker is by far the best way to play, and once I realized what the correct bluffing frequency/board textures/opponents/situations were, my game improved a ton. My graphs used to look just like yours, and its just ridiculously tough to play that way.
Lol, this is like the 5th time I've edited this. This would probably be better for an AIM conversation, so hit me up when I get home from work.
