doesnt everyone lose money from the blinds?

FC 40% is pretty standard and shouldn't be much higher if most of your pots are HU.
In multiway pots you can fold more to cbets, of course.
Your other stats seem standard on first sight, but they are not very specific.
You could probably cbet a bit more. You can find this out with your cbet success% if that's available in PT. If it's considerably larger than 40% then you can up your cbet% by cbetting some more gutshots or dry boards or whatnot.

Hello guys! I just recently started to become active here, help me out on this
I play 2nl 6-max, my blind play is horrible is pretty obvious, need help on other stats as well since it looks like my stats are pretty damn tight for 6max , ty in advance

First 40k hands at nl10 after pretty much crushing nl5. Starting to get a little worried although I do feel as if Im running pretty bad (losing only to coolers get not coolering people myself). Hopefully someone may be able to point somehitng out though. I dont for one second think I was running good at nl5 I was very confident in my game there.

22k hands on 5nl zoom, would be nice to get some input on the stats.





BB fold to steal is 73.5, didn't fit in the image

We are always going to lose money in the blinds so don't sweat that

Your VPIP in the BB and your PRF percentage are pretty far apart. This means you are calling a lot of raises when you are in the second worst position on the table. You might consider more 3B from the BB. Taking the initiative in the hand will help minimize some of the positional disadvantage. The same can be said for the SB. Don't just 3B your value range in these spots. Against steals from the BTN you can play a slightly wider 3B range and work on your post flop play.

Also look for spots to squeeze from the blinds. MP raises to 3x, BTN calls. SB folds. You have KQs in BB. A squeeze works well here and your hand plays pretty well post flop if you do get called. Again minimizing the positional disadvantage of the blinds.

EP you are raising 100% of the hands you come in with to the pot. I would suggest limping with some of your small pairs in this spot. If you have 66 and you raise and the BTN or blinds 3 bet you you often don't have the right odds to set mine. If you limp and the pot gets raised you can still call to set mine. Also 15% is a pretty wide range from EP. I would look to tighten that up a bit.

Hope that helps

22% WTSD is definately on the low end. Probably folding to too many cbets and getting bluffed too easily

25NL 6 max 22k hands. Winning $ out of the small blind not sure why, probably a sample size issue. Trying to play a LAG style but for some reason my red line looks like a tight passive nit. FAIL. If you have any suggestions for fixing my red line/other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Your VPIP from the BTN and CO is really high esp the button. Its hard to fathom opening nearly half of all hands would be profitable in the long run even with position.

You are raising half your BB hands and calling the rest of the time. Hard to play out of position that much and win.

You are probably running well to be winning out of the SB

Your 3B percentages are a bit high as well but if you are playing well post flop it can be a real boost to your bottom line.

You are correct that 22k hands isn't that large of a sample but your style seems to be working so far. Maybe tweak your late position play just a bit but why not continue and see where it takes you?

Here are my stats.

I feel like I'm hitting a wall and can't climb over. I'm down ~$160 from a bankroll of $200.

I do not understand why my blue line deviates so greatly from the green/orange line.




...I remember a time first starting out almost breaking even. But now... yeesh.

It seems that winning players have a growth rate that is almost linear. I'm not sure if it is a sample size issue or not but I'm 35k+ hands deep and not seeing that.

What should I be thinking about now? It does appear that I am improving my game since I'm making some gains so what parts of the game are worth a mention?

Should I read another book?

[Edit]It occurs to me just by looking at my blind losses that they're really big. It would probably be a good idea to clamp down on those ranges a bit.[/Edit]

Hi guys,

I like this thread really much! I am new on the forums and dont have much experience yet. First off, I will tell a little bit about my self:

I have been playing poker with a bankroll strategy for like 1 year and had some ups and downs.. I switched from full ring to 6-max about 6 months ago.. Here are my stats from 5NL this month (60K hands) I hope to move up to 10NL next month..

Please help me in finding some leaks in my game.. Everything is welcome!

Thoughts?

I feel as though I am on the weak tight side. PT4 analysis says im smack bang in the middle for everything (no idea if this means anything)

What you think?

You are too tight and way too passive it seems

Your blue line is your showdown winnings so it's normal for it to be much higher than the others.

Your red line is your money won without showdown and this is usually much below your green/orange lines which are usually close together.

Your VPIP/PFR per position doesn't look like the issue so i'm thinking that maybe your post-flop play is letting you down. Maybe you're being too aggressive with your good hands, passive with your marginal hands, not C-betting enough.

Something you should notice is that your red line has leveled off for the last ~6k hands, and it won't be a coincidence that during that time you're profitable so whatever you added to your game ~6k hands ago it's helped.

Have a look at the How to play the Flop/Turn/River in No-Limit Holdem videos here.

I'm sure this is asked and answered a lot. Probably in this very thread. But I don't use the search function well.

How many hands should I play before even peeking at my winrate? Seems like it's not going to say anything worthwhile until I have multiple tens of thousands of hands logged. Is that right?

this is my results from about a 2 weeks on bovada almost all at 25nl zone, their version of zoom. I seem kind of nitty I know, but wouldn't it stand to reason that in zoom u would play somewhat tighter due to fast folding your junk/marginal hands? any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

You are correct in a sense but remember we will never know our true win rate with any mathematical certainty.

My advice is to forget about your win rate. It's not really that relevant to your evolution as a poker player. It's more important to focus on other goals IMO.

One thing that stands out is your VPIP from the SB is almost as high as your VPIP from the Button. That suggest that you are completing in the SB too often in the worst spot positionally while you aren't opening many hands from the button when you should be stealing as well as playing your value range.

Maybe consider those two things and working on your post flop play as well esp from the button if you start opening wider.

ok this conversation would probably be better had in a different thread. as I have tried to open up I find myself spewing double barreling to much checking raising to often and playing my draws way to agro and my win rate dropping off. when I play tight abc and don't let myself get to tied to big pairs post flop I find a nice consistent win rate. maybe coaching is the next step for me idk honestly. I don't know. I know I was cold calling to often that is something I have been working on. That has help reduced sb vpip, but some many pots I c 3 limbers and I am in the small blind with any 2 reasonable cards and I feel I have to complete.

hello
these are my 2nl 6max stats from over the last few months and looking to improve.


thanks

First thing that stands out is how uniform your VPIP is across all positions.
I'm also a 2nl player so i'm not qualified to reall advise on how to correct this so i'll let this guy do it. His videos taught/are teaching me.

The Power of Position

Hey guys i posted here before now i am at NL20 and would like some feedback once again after ajusting alot of what i was doing. I am losing in this sample tho, and would like to know if it is just good old variance or if i have something in specific that may be hurting me.
Thanks in advance.

VPIP from BB and SB is way high. Being out of position the whole hand is a big disadvantage.

Hello guys. Just started to grind nl10 rush on ftp playing 4 tables. actually first time decided to take a closer look into my stats and i feel pretty lost on doing self analysis. I really appreciate any response i get.

The last graph is my results without blinds. I see by myself mistake that I'm playing more EP than MP and going to fix it but my biggest question is how i should improve in playing on a bb? any ideas on other stats is appreciated too.
