low stakes HUSNG game, few hands in with no reads of villain

you have KK, flop comes JQK suited. villain shoves to your raise, do you call or fold?

for over 2 hours i listen the cast.Still no tournament pass for the pokerstars freeroll?do i have to listen to something else?

Call. You beat a lot of hands (sets, draws, 2pair), and even if you are behind you have outs.

Of course you should look at the stack sizes.

Thanks

Where's the article saying what standard for pokertracker's stats? I.e. If someone is running 15/8/1, how does that compare to your average?

it works a bit better than 80% for me, the trouble is that every time I lose 1/2-3/4 of a stack and it doesn't work that is of course the moment that i get a massive hand.

How do i copy and paste.....

to get the blue highlighted box?

Are you talking about selecting something? If that's what you're referring to, left click and hold down the mouse button while you drag across the field you are choosing. Once the area is highlighted, either right click and choose copy, or hold CTRL and press C.

How do I block Avatars so I don't get fired while surfing the forums at work ?

Just wondering whats a good winrate for 9 tableing 25NL or 50NL. I understand that 5ptbb/100 is decent 4 tableing but is that reachable 9 tableing

near the top left corner of the page, there's "my 2+2". click on that, choose "edit options"

you'll find it in there...


now get back to work!!!

i'm certainly glad you see it that way. you and people like you make this forum well worth the read. kudos.

In a perfect world, your winrate would stay the same (or increase) as you add more tables. Many people's winrates drop as they add more tables, although some of the better players have definitely achieved a high winrate while playing many more tables than 9 at a time.

Do you need a HUD to win at online poker?

I'm taking it serious this year, had a few lessons. Read some books and i've seen the benefit and applied it to my game.

Strange thing is, before the lessons etc. I was crap at cash games, and was winning money in MTT's!

Now, im doing better on the cash games (I've not made much money, currently up nearly $2 lol. But, i've lost a few all ins, and due to playing within a BR it didnt take long to recoup that money. Before, a week on the cash games i would maybe be down 50%

Now, im up in a week, not much but i dont expect that currently on the micro stakes!) and ****e on MTT & SnG. I last 30 mins, just seem to make the wrong calls etc

So, do many people play using poker tracking huds? I'm a ****** for not using one?

I'd rather be working out the stats etc in my had then just reading them through a software program, and not really taking in the info.

No, you do not need a HUD to win at Online Poker. Judicious use of a HUD however may help you to win more, in particular when you play multiple tables.

What's the difference between a bet and a raise?

A bet is when there's been no money put in the pot yet this round. Everything after that is a raise.

Ty!
Is there any easy way to find all of my "mark hand for later decision" marked hands in PT?

As mentioned above, HUD display is not necessary to beat online poker. Many people think it's a distraction and crutch, especially playing 1 or 2 tables, and at lower stakes where opponent's flaws are anything but subtle.

However, tracking software can be quite valuable for evaluating your OWN habits, leaks, tendencies, and results.

As you improve and want to chase down every narrow edge, the hud can help you spot things you might not have noticed as easily.

This is something I was also wondering.

Im more interested in it for working out the habits and leaks etc and keeping a history of profit/loss and hands played.

The HUD part for improvement, i thought that was mainly used for working out the type of players your up against and not improving your own game? Or can you use it to see how many hands your playing, how many times you call and not raise with say AK etc?

A HUD is not the same thing as Tracking Software. Originally they were two separate pieces of software. More recently, HUDs have been integrated into Tracking Software so HUD are now a small part of Tracking Software.

Tracking Software is a database that records all the hands you play and does some statistical analysis.

The HUD (Head's Up Display) places that information so it's visible on the tables in real time as you play.

Tracking software came first, shortly after someone thought, "It'd be really cool if I could display all this information for every player right on the table".

Tracking software is used to analyze your play and your opponent's play. The HUD is primarily used for information on your opponents but can also be used to monitor your own play.
