Winning only 51.7% of your showdown probably means you are running bad (with such a low Went To Showdown). I cannot really compare this to my stats since I am in the process of changing my 6-max strategy (more LAG preflop).
Your Went-To-Showdown % seems a bit low while your aggression factor (postflop) is a bit too high for my taste. But these things are not necessarily bad and can very well be part if a winning style. |

Mm...
To think I gave up a very profitable fullring career for this shorthanded stuff. After about 60.000-70.000 hands of short handed I´m about 0.2BB/100. Still I´ll continue posting hands and maybe someday. |

| Maybe you can get a subscription on Deucescracked. They don't have a sign up fee and overal, I think DC is excellent value for money. They now have a nice series running by an instructor called oink who plays a more LAG preflop style than the standard TAG style. I think these video's are excellent and may very well help you too. |

Oink posts over in the short hand section at 2+2 and seems to have an excellent grasp of the game. However, I find it interesting that a large portion of his views seem to oppose anything I've ever read in a book. |

| Ive seen some of Oinks videos during a trial membership at duecescracked and me like. But right now I have a 1 year stox membership and I watch a lot of videos so I´ll stick to those. I´m too lazy for mathematical work right now, so the next best thing would be some session reviews and coaching I guess. (but I don´t have money to pay a coach right now) |

That probably means that he is a better player than the people who write these books.  |

I'm in the same boat as Skrotnisse in that I was a decent winner up to 5/10 full ring but breaking even in SH. I learnt the game with the philosophy of playing tight and raising to protect hence my showdown percentage is low at SH (around 35%).
Willem, I've noticed you tend to apply quite a strong mathmatic element to your poker. Do you think it's important to study the math in order to move up through the small to mid stakes? |

Any math will obviously help. But I don't think it's necessary to do anything fancy stuff at $30/$60 and below, IF you practice good table selection. Of course you must be able to count outs, calculate pot odds. You need to be able to put someone on a range and count hand combination to determine the likelyhood of you being ahead/behind. Have a rough idea about you equity against villains' range. These things are not really hard but you must work up to the point you are able to do these things at the table, which takes practice.
Here is an example of an opponent who made a standard mistake: http://www.pokerhand.org/?2636124
In the chat, he said he put me on AJ or KQ. And then decided to 3-bet the river after all. He was correct in putting me on AJ or KQ, but he didn't count the hand combinations. I can only have 3 AJ combinations while I have 16 KQ combos. I other words, when I check-raise the river, he is ahead only 3 / 19 ~ 15% of the time, and should obviously just call. |
