Ignition .02/.05 5NL Population Report

Sample size is small, but after 15,000 hands, I ran a population report on PT4. Still, some interesting takeaways, I think. First and foremost, Villain is folding only around 30% on average to 3Bet, whether Villain has opened with 2bet or limp called. This low fold percentage is not the result of tight opening ranges. Average VPIP/PFR is around 26/14. So, Hero has below average fold equity generally and should probably 3bet a tighter range for value in most cases. This frequency recommendation, of course, needs to be balanced against rake considerations. The low fold percentage might also influence Hero's strategies for isolating and squeezing too. The average fold percentage for isolating and squeezing is better, around 55%, but when one multiplies .55 x .55, worse. I have had mixed success with increasing bet sizes. Villain seems generally inelastic. Also interesting is the fact (why I ran the report in the first place) that Villain is completely positionally unaware. Except for small blind and big blind, both of which also yield surprising results, the numbers are almost identical for every other position. So, Hero can assume that Villains on average open 26% of hands from UTG and BTN. Villain is open raising, however, only around 14% of hands, another reason to 3bet tighter and more for value, even from SB and BB. Speaking of SB and BB, Villain seems to have strategies confused for these two positions. Villain is only defending BB on average about 25% of the time but, mostly because of a a tendency to limp behind, defending the SB closer to 40% of the time. Anyway, these were the main takeaways. As I said, I am aware the sample size is small, but given the density of the sample, "8" players v 1, worth thinking about at least. Thought I would share for anyone who plays low stakes online. I haven't played enough ACR to do a report there yet; but my impression is that the pool is not as passive, so I wouldn't extrapolate.
