I am a bit confused by my stats, for some reason I only have 300 hands played at early position, while all the other hands are around 500. Does anyone know why this is? Shouldnt the hands played at all positions be even? Even when I have to leave the table, I wait until I finish my button, so theoretically the hand count for all positions should be the same??

Am I missing something?

It depends on the type of tables you're playing, and how many players at the tables. Assuming you're actually using PT4 (I'd have to check the exact details for PT3) if you're playing 6-max tables for example, there is only an "EP" if there are 6 players at the table. If there are only 5 players then we have BB, SB, button, cutoff and MP. This will of course lead to less EP hands overall, and a similar situation can happen at full ring tables, although EP isn't dropped entirely until you get down to 5-handed. Also occasionally someone will sit out from the blinds when you were due to be UTG and instead pay the BB.

Ohh, I see, that makes sense now, thanks
