Is a hud really necessary at 5NL? I could probably use one but can't afford one atm.

You can probably be +EV just by reading situations or taking notes. Even if you can't identify the regs, you can pretty much tell in the hand who the donk are (ie, regs probably don't open limp and call your raise, stuff like that). A HUD will help to know if the dude calling your raise is just a donk calling with XX, or if it's a reg setmining.

However, I've personally had some success 3-betting $5 regs super light (like any 2) as they seem to fold like 90%. That could just be low sample size though, as I got burnt pretty bad using that strategy at 10nl and quickly dropped it.

You do have some options though. PT3 has something a 60 days free trial, HM has 15. So you can basically have a powerful HUD/tracker for 75 days for free.

Another option you can do is to get a free HUD/tracker that's not as powerful, but will at least be something. There's Poker Elephant that's free and has a HUD. I'm also not sure of what its goal are and I've never used it, I just stumbled across it randomly while downloading Equilab. http://www.pokerstrategy.com/software/9/

I suck, and I'd love any help I can get. Especially out of the blinds I seem to be doing badly
These are 5NL stats btw.

And sure, it's a low sample size but I'm already 5 buyins down

Cashed out my hole bankroll (after long break even masstable grinding), changed the poker room and restarted about 2 weeks ago from 10NL. Amount of tables reduced to 4-tabling and changed my playing style. Currently playing 20NL and probably will move up to 50NL soon. Now im running well so far, but i want to make my play better every day. Does anyone see any leaks at these graphs?

I noticed i 3bet way too less on CO and BTN. But i actually like to flat in position an wider range and try to outplay villian, if i see any chance to do that. Should i 3bet more in position anyway?
Also i saw i make a bit to less money on BTN, right? Am i stealing a little bit too much?
Whats about my "winnings" on blinds? Is it ok so far?

Here are my stats from FR at .1/.2 from this mornings session. Maybe you can compare and find your leaks. HEM is a great tool I have spewed money for the last four years playing around in .1/.2 I can now say with the help of HEM I am a better player. I still make 1 to 3 mistakes a session sometimes but I am booking winning sessions now and hope to recoup all my losses and move up this year.

Hello.
I think Im doing something quite wrong from the CO. My won BB/100 is significant smaller from the CO than from both midle pos. and the botton.
I though about variance during the first month I noticed it, but when it repeated it self last month and then in the begining of this one I have to look it up.
I Can't find some big leaks my self, but im not sure im looking at the right place eighter... So where should I look? I post my stats, but not sure those ones are to any help.

some quick thoughts:

- fold more from the blinds, there you lose your money. 3bet could be higher in general, but it's not that important at this stakes imo.

- cbet more. your cbet is way to low, your giving up a lot of money. your hud will show you soon the stations that wont fold to a cbet.

- raise more hands from co and button. your button vpip should be around 40-50 imo.

- your wsd could be a little bit closer to your vpip, but its not that big deal.

- bet more rivers.

is my quick analysis ok?

but in general i think you were just unlucky, but there's some space to improve imo

[Kua2]

so I know it's a small sample and all, but I must be doing something really wrong since I can't seem to make a profit at nl5 6-max
any major leak you guys can see at my play?

[vingtsun]

I definitely have some major leaks. I tried to put in more hands but i have been really struggling just to round out my 10k. I have taken a major dive. i play full stack nl5 at FTP and PS. I have some ideas but I would really like some more experienced feedback. My button is very lose profitability so maybe i am stealing too much or when opening with a wider range not playing the flop properly. Also I lose a lot of money when i don't go to showdown (graph red line). Maybe I am C-betting or putting money in the pot when i should just check. I hope I didn't forget any stats. I have no idea how people create those nice summary reports with a lot more detail. I seem to remember in in PT2 though. Thanks in advance.

preface, i am not stats expert but here are some things i noticed. I play NL5 6max myself. So this is your 6max stats.

1) you are losing money from late pos (CO and Button)
- Your WTSD% from the CO is much smaller than from any other position. While your BU is slighty smaller.
- Your BU aggression is half your UTG,MP aggro

I think you are getting into much more marginal spots in late position. also high c-bet from button and bloating the pot. You are getting to the river and shutting down (low button river aggro factor).

2) your VPIP, PFR, and aggro look fine. so your preflop play should be tight enough. But your red line in your graph is negative. so you are definitely losing money on flop c-bets and 2nd barrels. (contributing to #1)

3) your CO WTSD%, 3Bet and W$SD% is significantly lower than any position. C-bet flop & turn is also lower. It seems you are just less confidant in this position. Not sure how to play against the button or blinds. Not following up the same way you do in all the other positions. You may be showing down less hands but are selecting the wrong hands to showdown with. You may be under estimating your villains or over estimating your hand value when you do show down. Possibly playing in 3bet pots with blinds or button. (honestly I don't really have a solid grasp of why this would happen i just noticed it)

Hi everyone!

I've been playing poker for about a year and decided to to take it more serious lately. I could finally sign up after stalking for a while.

Currently I'm playing 5NL and attaching my positional stats. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'd be happy to provide other stats if desired.

Thanks for trying to help, yes I can use some of this
I think it's part bad luck, my w$sd is above 50% now, and I've won quite a lot of the money I lost back. It was also part spewing, not tilting though.

Hello, 13/9 is way too nitty. You need to open much more from CO and BTN. This was one of the biggest reasons why I couldn't beat 10nl when I was beating 5nl. This thread has some helpful hand ranges to give you an idea:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/69...2010-a-676130/

Your flop cbet is way too low. It needs to be around ~70%. You are leaving a lot of money on the table by not cbetting enough, especially at 5nl where most people call your raise and c/f way too much. Learn which boards are good/bad to cbet.

Not sure if you're 3betting with QQ or not, but you should be.

Your pfr for SB should be somewhere between CO and BTN's pfr. What hands you'll open will depend on how aggressive the player in the BB is.

Your 3bet % is ridiculously high for 5nl. From my experience, I don't think 3betting light at 5nl is going to be profitable because people are so bad they don't know they're supposed to fold to 3bets with marginal hands. Thus, it's better to always be 3betting for value only at 5nl. At 10nl, there will be some regs you can start 3betting light.

I have a hunch most of your leaks are from your 3b pots because they are not easy to play, especially when you are 3betting with marginal hands.

Your red line is actually pretty standard. Most people's red lines are going down. Your blue line should definitely be going up though, especially at 5nl where there are tons of calling stations willing to call off their stack with marginal hands. I recommend you post hands where you go to showdown and lose a big pot, as it's likely you're not folding spots where you're clearly beat.

I couldn't really see any blatant problems in your stats, though it would be good if you could include your cbet % and turnbet %.
