Important to note in PT3 AF is defined as (total times bet+total times raised)/(total times called) I think i read somewhere that HEM's measure is different and pt3's is higher something like that.

Hey budsodian,
Definitely try to get those tilt issues under control, I'd recommend watching Student Caine's videos if you haven't watched them already.
I think that's how HEM calculate AF as well, although I think they have a different way of measuring coldcall% but I'm not positive. A CC% of 13% would be pretty wide in HEM but the gap between your VPIP and PFR doesn't suggest that yours is too wide. It looks fine tbh.
Overall these stats look pretty solid.
Your steal % of 32.6 is right on the margin of acceptable. I think you should be aiming for a steal % of at least 30%, preferably >35%, so yours is fine but you could think about loosening up a little more from LP.
You're cbetting and barrelling a huge amount. An 82.45 cbet% is pretty high, this is fine at micro stakes since players are playing very fit or fold and aren't going to be c/ring light so they're not going to exploit you for having a wide cbetting range. However, to be firing a turn barrel 61% of the time, especially with your high cbet%, is very high. Even though players at these stakes play fit or fold, if they have a piece there's a good chance they'll call you down, so I think you should probably tone down the barrelling for a while, at least until you move up a few levels.
It's fantastic that you're playing so aggressively though, a lot of micro stakes players default to playing a weak-tight and nitty style, it's far easier for you to tone down the aggression a little then it is for them to start barrelling and making plays.
Your c/r flop% is very low though, that's not really a problem or a leak at these stakes. But there's an important concept called "randomization by equity" you need to understand. aejones talks about it in some of his videos so watch those if you haven't already.
We can't bluff 100% of the time. If we keep c/ring, floating and donk betting as a bluff our opponents are going to get sick of us and they're going to adjust. They'll start 3betting us as a bluff, raising our donk bets, start checking back hands for pot control. And this is bad, we want them to be bet folding middle pair, we want them to cbet with too much air, so that we can try to exploit them.
If we can only bluff with a certain frequency then, naturally, we want to do it when we have the most equity against their calling range.
So we want to bluff when:
- we have o.k. equity or backdoor equity against a calling range.
So, for example on K62 A9 with a BDFD is a far better spot to bluff than with T9o.
We have an overcard which will sometimes be good and we can pick up a nut flush draw as well which will increase our equity. Whereas something like T9o doesn't have a whole lot of value when called.
And it's important to realize that we're more concerned with the range they play back with then their betting range in the first place. Something like 88 will have more equity than KQ with BDFD on a T72 board against their BETTING range but less equity against a CALLING range.
– we don't mind folding our hand if raised.
This applies to when we're donk betting and raising, typically if our hand is strong enough to bluff but not strong enough to get in (i.e. we'd have to raise fold it) we'll want to call (or float) instead. For example, 87 on 976. In this spot we have a lot of showdown value but our hand probably isn't good enough to get all-in so in these spots we want to avoid turning our hand into a bluff.
It's better to check raise bluff the more potential double (and triple) barrel cards. The most obvious good barrelling cards are ones which improve our equity, like completing a backdoor draw. So we can then semi-bluff the turn instead of pure bluffing. The advantages to this are obviously that, if called, we can sometimes suck out on the river with a disguised hand. And this also adds another randomization, we're not always following up on the turn but we will be sometimes.
On a board like KT7 there's not going to be a lot of great barrelling cards. A lot of cards will improve an opponent's one pair hand to pair + draw or two pair. However, on something like 952 there's going to be a load of overcards we can fire at, and there's not as many potential straight cards.
What I mean is, let's say we raised AJ with a BDFD on 952, if a 6 flush card falls on the turn, 98 and 97 only have gutshots instead of OESDs to go along with their pairs. It's also far less likely that they called with 87 in that spot then it would be on the first board where stronger draws are possible.
Don't completely ignore opponent tendencies or the situation though. If villain cbets a semi-connected board 4way, there's very little value in bluffing him. He's got a hand far too often.
If villain has tight preflop ranges or if villain is very passive then it's likely their range is much stronger when betting so bluffing makes much less sense.You still need to hand read and assign ranges.
That's all I can say from these stats, everything else looks fine. If you post a screenshot of your position stats then I might be able to spot some other things though.
