ReplyGamesShare Black scoresVerdict
e6 125 27.1% 45.2% holds up
Nc6 82 17.8% 26.2% below the line
Bf5 75 16.3% 38.7% holds up
a6 75 16.3% 34.0% holds up
c6 45 9.8% 33.3% below the line

"Below the line" means the reply scores at least three points worse than the position does overall. Replies played fewer than 25 times are left out: the sample is too small to read.

Is this costing you anything?

A table of averages cannot tell you whether you go wrong here — only your own games can. Opening Leak Lab reads your Chess.com or Lichess archive, finds the decisions you repeat, and checks each one against this book and a bundled Stockfish.
