Unfortunately there's not a lot to say based on the stats. Your 5NL stats are just 1000 hands, which could well mean you just hit a bad downswing at a bad time (just at moving up).
Your final picture is a bit useless -- we can see some bad beats and some places where you may have overplayed an overpair.
I also see you fold to bets and raises a huge amount of the time, but that is probably good at the level you're playing, because you're usually beaten when raised.

What you shoul probably do is just pay on -- after all it's just 4 buy-ins in 1k hands you lost. I've had such losses within the first 10 minutes after sitting down for a session -- as have most experienced players. SOmetimes it just happens.

Also, analyse these 1k hands (ALL OF THEM) and look for places where you went wrong. Then psot the 3 or so most difficult decisions in the micro-stakes, or here.

For example, the JJ, KK, and KJ hands above look suspicious.

I started playing poker fairly recently online using a $10 bankroll on Cake Poker Network. I started playing the lowest stake Cash tables (NL4) which was out of my roll but I could reload if necessary (this wasnt the case). Been going well, bit of a bad day today though but began clawing my way back up!

Here's a giraffe and some positional stats, any advice on whether i should move up soon and give NL10 a shot, and how I could go about it is welcome.

I'm also getting 33% rakeback which is quite nice, however i imagine I'll notice that more at NL10.

I recently moved from playing only SNG's to micro cash, and I want to become a mainly cash player.

What I want (need) to know is why my graph is so swingy, with it's constant up's and downs. I understand it's possibly too small a sample but yet I hope you can find something wrong with what I am doing so I can fix it.

I don't really understand why I'm moving up so slowly, I really feel that I am competent enough to be able to have a bigger winrate at such low stakes.
I have had huge losing sessions where I can't help but think my losses were (at least mainly) due to a bad run of the cards, i.e. a bad downswing, so I've taken a break for a few days when that happens and then I start over again.

I don't really know what more to say, please take a look at my stats and tell me what you think, and be frank. I can take it and I want to get better.

Thanks.

Greifin, nothing particular to see about your stats. This sort of swinginess is not uncommon, you just had one biggish downswing after hand 15,000 -- it is possible you went on tilt there, but you can snwer that question better than I can.

OK so i got HEM and I don't really know how to use it that well, but wondering if you could shed some light on my stats.

From what I can see I am playing a few too many hands and bluffing way too much (is that correct giving my red line being above blue line?)

Any tips or comments are welcome

Thanks

i could be wrong, but your showdown line should be above your winnings line. the fact that your showdown line is so low means you're bringing crap hands to showdown.

HAHAHA same thing, I was looking at the graph like WTH how is any line at $200 in 7k hands of 2NL, are you shoving every hand.

Hi guys,

I know this is only a very small sample (4k) but I wanted views on my current stats at this level. The graph says 5k hands so it is including some other levels but from 500-4k I have been at 5NL. I am only two tabling at most, I might try 4 tables but I dont feel I could focus on all 4 at once and Id lose some value from some hands. Im trying to grind it slowly, does it look that way?

Cheers.

AndyM: you look like a passive nitty type. Your results are very good, though (nearly 13 buy-ins in 4k hands).
Your VPIP is 29% which is a bit loose, especially compared to PFR, which is WAY too low at 9%. The basic idea is: when you think you have the best hand, raise, don't just call.
Never open-limp, but you can sometimes just call when there are other limpers and you have a speculative hand (like low pocketpairs and low suited connectors).

Also postflop you seem quite passive -- you are not really betting/raising much but just calling down quite a lot it seems.

Cheers for that. Its pretty much what I made of the stats as well but wanted some feedback. My results are decent though which is why I have kept that style since it seemed to be working. Ill try tighten up and be a bit more agressive and see what changes happen between now and around 10k hands.

Thanks again!
