- Your fold to 3bet is exploitable. Play back to 3bets more (4bet, call and bluff flops, make notes on regs, etc.)
- You have a very nitty image. Your 3bet is relatively low and your preflop stats are very tight. Regs aren't paying you off pre or postflop.

3) Call more preflop in position. It's gonna be profitable to flat a huge range (at least 20% of hands) vs a wide stealer bvb. Get in on multiway pots with fish IP. (e.g. reg opens CO, flat ATo if a big fis is in the BB).

4) Isolate fish way wider. Both by 3beting light and raising limps light. (My default is to iso an unknown fish's limp on the button with literally ATC).

5) Play less tables. Focus on improving not grinding rakeback.

good luck, hope that helps

Awesome feedback, thank you a LOT! I realized I'm exploitable when getting 3bet, but didn't feel comfortable 4b or calling IP. But I didn't realize I'm probably getting 3bet a ton because of my nitty image - and this costs me dearly pre and post.

Hi guys, I played in NL2(Stars).




Any advice?

[khangura175]

Any advice?

well the fact that ur cbet turn is higher than cbet flop means u might b jus running good.. on the long run ur cbet flop should always b higher than cbet turn, but only slightly

also i prefer stealing at at least 40%, ur in position n can take a ton of flops down without a hand n even with a hand or draw, with just position, u end up playin it better than ur opponent



honestly, ur sample is way too small.. ur fold to sb n bb r so small, it seems like uve caught a good amount of strong hands in those spots..

get at least 100k hands imo.

Good day all!

Can anyone steer in the direction of basically all the stats explained and the "normal or optimal" ranges for them? I have yet to buy Leak buster, and would prefer to do all the analysis myself. I am not looking for anything cut and dry or quick fix, but a starting point for self analysis to make myself a better player.

Links, books or previous articles that helped you on your way to really understanding all the stats and how to improve them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

This is a good read on 3betting/4betting/5betting and gives you insight on how to approach stat analysis.

Teach a man to fish and all that, I wanted to analyse my own stats, so I can keep on top of it in future, and the see when other players as making mistakes so that I can exploit them. Where/what are good resources to find "optimal" stats for 6 max? Any good threads, sites, books or DC vids that could be recommended would be highly appreciated.

Cheers Hitsy.

Just noticed post #4356. Same request basically.

I just finished my first 1,000 hands at 4NL on Merge. This is what my graph looks like. I want to know, based on the way my actual winnings and all-in EV line converge, does this graph show that I started making poor all-in calls/pushes? Basically, does this graph show that I just started playing poorly?

I really feel like during the last session (from about hand 700 to the end) I was playing terribly.

To be honest, all that graph shows is you played 1k hands.

Lol, negligible sample size = negligible graph. Fair enough!

Thanks for the response, that's actually reassuring haha.

Here is the last 2 weeks or so, 9k of 10nl and 3k of 25 nl. I had a couple tilty spewish sessions, but overall the stats are similar to how I play. I've been playing both 6max and FR, and I think it's made me too aggro pre and post, and too squeeze happy, at FR. Eval please.

You played like I played 2 years ago and this is a very high variance style that will eventually lead to being bankrupt. You'll have huge winning sessions and huge losing sessions, you'll tilt and lose more.

I'll say that I have only recently started playing holdem again after a 1 year break in which I played no poker at all, so I'm no expert. I will tell you what I know, others can comment and correct me if I'm wrong. I'll post my stats below.


You're not folding enough hands! Fold more!
- you're calling way too much from the blinds! work on this especially! if you want to defend, do it by 3betting. Especially when someone opens OTB. Don't call, you're OOP vs a huge range and you're forced to play fit-or-fold.

- you're calling too many hands PF after someone else has raised. Play tighter preflop, but post your positions stats (in the positions tab in pokertracker) for a detailed analysis

- fold more on the flop. think about the board texture!
> don't randomly call with just overcards
> don't randomly call with any pair

think about the following things: is it likely that this board has hit my opponents range? is it likely that this board has hit my range?

> raise your draws! you'll see a lot of folds ...
> raise with bluffs (preferably bluffs that have outs, like overcards but don't do this all the time! do this occassionaly)

- fold more on the turn! for exactly the same reasons
- fold more on the river! if your opponent is betting 3 streets, your top pair is likely not good enough! if you can't fold top pair, its cheaper to just raise the flop and fold to a reraise

- stop thinking: hmmmm my opponent could be bluffing here! he's likely not bluffing, trust me. to expect that an opponent is bluffing, you have to have a solid read (e.g. after watching him and analysing him for HUNDREDS of hands!)


My stats - comments are welcome:
