Watch on YouTubeBENCB opens his database and breaks down his own poker stats for the first time, starting with open raises, calls, 3-bets and 4-bets by position. The interesting part is not just seeing the numbers, but what they reveal about his game. He spots several areas he wants to change, including opening the button wider, folding a little more against certain 3-bets, and watching his 4-bet fold percentage.
He then moves into postflop stats, looking at c-bet frequencies, turn barrels, river aggression, check-raises, and delayed bets both in and out of position. Along the way, he shows how to click from a statistic into the actual hands behind it, which makes it much easier to see whether a number really points to a leak or is simply the result of a small sample.
A big part of the review is knowing when your stats should follow theory and when they should move away from GTO because of population tendencies. Ben explains why a number that looks “wrong” compared with a solver can actually be profitable when opponents are not 3-betting or 4-betting enough. He also applies the same approach to blind-versus-blind play and shows where his own database still needs work.
What this video covers:
- Open-raise benchmarks by position.
- 3-bet and 4-bet frequencies and how population tendencies change them.
- Why being different from GTO can be a good thing.
- How to use stats to identify potential leaks in your own game.
- C-bet, barrel, river, and check-raise frequencies.
- Reviewing the exact hands behind a suspicious statistic.
- Delayed betting and out-of-position postflop decisions.
- Sample size, blind-vs-blind stats, and the numbers Ben wants to improve.
Watch the full breakdown to see how a strong player reviews his own database — and use the same process to find the numbers that need attention in your game.
