    I play only 6max cash, so all stats are for 6max players.

    First villain I have about 2800 hands on. His basic stats are 17/14/7 with a 24% BTN steal. The relatively low btn steal suggests a somewhat nitty player who is not particularly positionally aware, and looking at his stats by position backs that up (he's opening about 15% from all positions with little variation).

    I've seen him take 85 hands to showdown, of which he W$SD 57% of the time. Immediately obvious tendencies seen in hands I've seen him showdown are that he plays big hands fast.

    When I've seen him show down after opening the BTN, it's been with TT, J9o, T7s and AQo. J9o is somewhat out of place with only a 25% BTN steal, but the rest of those hands seem to fit - He's likely to be opening the button with premiums, suited aces, medium to small pairs and suited broadways plus some stronger SCs.

    Overall he seems to play tight and straightforward.



    Second villain I have around 1300 hands on. His basic stats are 20/16/7. He has attempted to steal 49% from the BTN.

    I've seen him show down 37 times, with a W$SD of 59%.

    Notable hands I've seen a showdown from him are one where he flatted IP with KJs, stabbed at T77r when it was checked to him, then bet around 2/3 pot on a K turn and called a big overbet jam. I also saw him get all-in over 3 streets when opening AJs in the HJ, on an ace high board, suggesting he might overplay TPGK.

    I've seen him call a 3bet OOP after opening 33 in the CO, then C/R a flopped set. I've seen him call a 3bet OOP with QJs also.

    I've seen him C/R a paired two-tone flop with bare overcards no draw.

    I've seen him play two flushdraws passively and seen a river stab when one bricked.

    I've only seen one hand shown down after he opened the BTN (A7o). His BTN stealing range is probably something around any ace, any pair, any suited K/Q, the better suited Jacks, most suited connectors and one gappers plus unsuited broadways and some higher unsuited connectors.

    Overall I'd say he is aggressive but overplays medium value hands and has a tendency to bluff in bad spots. He also seems to call too many 3bets.
