I think it's funny that I used to read that stuff, get extremely confused, and believe I never had a shot at being good at poker.

Nowadays I read it, get confused, and give up trying to comprehend it because I don't need to.

lol yeah, but you can use it on the backend for things like game selection, i.e. time of day/day of week/location to get the most out of your time

This should be an integration not multiplication to get $/session, so you should fit $/hr = 2*a*t + b or just fit the quadratic. Does anyone do stats on their sessions? Most trackers seem to have sd/hr built in.

Tapatalk shows the 1st picture in the last post with a picture in it. There is a setting to turn this off.

What is a, what is t and what is b?

t is time (guessing you used hours)...a & b are whatever fit shows. a represents decrease in winrate per hour played while b is winrate at the start of a session.

This should have been clear, but your session wins are maxed when your hourly winrate goes to zero. Probably more useful then is how much more do you get on your last hours in a session? Does playing 12 vs. 8 hours only add 5% (or whatever it is). You get the idea, you can use to get the most of your time. Could you play more sessions for the same hours and make more (there's transit time/costs ofc too)?

2nd this

Can someone please point me in the direction of some solid 1/2-1/3-2/5 strategy/game theory threads on here. I believe there is one or two solely written by one player as his game develops and he writes a guide of sorts. I am looking for this in particular as well as others that I can use for serious study.

Thank you in advance.

Just check the "best of" thread stickied on the front page.

It'd be a benefit to check the COTW in the micro full ring forum.

COTW? Thank you.

Concept of the Week. OK, that's enough strategy derail in this thread. Back to its main purpose now, please.

Pic shows results, all at $1/$2. In 2017, winrate is $31.72/hr over 504 hours. Overall, Im at $23.94/hr over 790 hrs for a $18,915 total profit.

I think my game format is good, (buyin up to $400, utg straddle allowed for $4 to $10) and $6 taken for rake. But I think I made some large strides this year compared to last. I feel like at the beginning of 2016, I saw maybe 60% of what was going on at a table, and now I think I'm closer to 80%, if that makes any sense. That being said, im sure im on the better side of variance overall so luck is playing its part.

Your photobucket range is too tight.

I tried my best. I give up

Just don't use photobucket anymore. There are other photo hosting websites. I generally use tinypic and it doesn't even require an account.

Question about winrates in different structure games...

I split my time between 120bb cap and 200bb cap games. In the 120 cap, most players have little clue and there's a good amount of spazztards at the table. At worst, there's 3 other players that have some sort of an idea of what they're doing, but still make huge errors, mostly in bet sizing. The 200bb cap attracts a much higher caliber of player. I'll often be sitting with one or two people near my current skill level, and perhaps a few players I deem better than me. However, there will always be one or two complete marks that don't know how to wield their large stack.

So far, my winrate in the 200bb cap is much higher than the 120, but the sample size is pretty small, maybe 200 hrs in the 120 cap and 300 hrs in the 200bb cap. Would it make more sense to play deeper, but in a tougher pool, or play mid stacked vs bad players?

In general I'd play the mid stacked game with worse players. The deeper game you described doesn't sound like a great game but it's passable. However, look for when the big game looks better and fire away.

Play the shorter game.

Also #lolsamplesize when it comes to making decisions

I'm having a slight downswing right now (5 losing sessions in a row, -$2800 at 2/5) and it is definitely hurting my game. I'm playing scared in spots where I used to just fire, and I'm calling down in spots where my A game folds.

Poker variance is impacted by so many factors, it is ridiculous.

Id consider 5 losing sessions in a row and only being down 2800 as a brag

In my last 500 hrs, I've had a 1200bb downswing, one 600bb, and am currently down 400bb from my last peak. Still very much trending upwards overall. I'm 6hrs away from my first 1k hrs of live no-limit. Will be making a post with graphs and **** most likely tomorrow after I do my 6hrs today.

Especially in a 200 BB cap straddle from anywhere game
