Any comments/questions/critiques are welcome!! Thanks.

Maybe get the VPIP and PFR values a little closer, preferably by raising more instead of limping. You having a rough time with KK? Don't see it on the list of hands there. I noticed you cold call JJ and TT a lot more often than I do. I have no idea what this means, or if your numbers are normal and mine are not? More importantly...was your macaroni and cheese from scratch a success?

1. May be renew your norton subscription?
2. What made you change your preflop game?

Ship:

Yeah, so far I'm down 1/2 a BI with KK. It's getting to the point where I see it and cringe. lol As for the cold-calling, I'm still trying to get an idea of what the "standard" range would be for calling a 3bet at 50NL. My thinking is that if all it does is fold out hands I beat, I may be better off cold-calling...at least until I get a better idea of what 50NL is like. I haven't seen your numbers, but if you'd like to share them, send me an IM.

The macaroni&cheese was hella successful. I'd be happy to share the recipe lol. (I'm serious, BTW)

novel: Yeah I should get around to the norton thang. I changed my preflop game for a few reasons.

a) My vpip was really low and I felt like I was leaving a lot of money at the table by playing so tightly. I figured that I read, post hands, and think about the game a lot (even though it doesn't show sometimes) and that I'm (hopefully) at least on par with other players at the level. Playing more hands (to a degree) should make me more money.

b) I found myself in a lot of bad spots when I raised small PPs from EP. (namely I think I was playing too many big pots OOP) and I cbet too much (IMO)

c) I wasn't stealing enough. I think my % to steal was something like 20 or 21. I really felt like this was costing me money.

d) Honestly, my old preflop strategy wasn't fun. I wasn't playing scs or suited aces and because of that, I found less opportunities to semi-bluff, and made very little money from straights and flushes. After a while, I think I got too easy to read as well.

The sample size is still too small. Keep doing what you have been doing, and come back when you have 50k hands.

I recently made adjustment (b) myself, still waiting to see the LT results of this adjustment.

I can't read your positional stats page.

Turn and river AF look low, this shouldn't be hard to keep at a higher number since your VPIP is so low. Call less, make more Raise or Fold decisions.

You're WTSD% and youre W$SD% are higher than mine, but my win rate is higher. I think that maybe you are calling to get to showdown, where you should be betting people off of their hands. These close/orphan pots are easy money spots that you need to recognize and jump on. Recognize situations where you are the only person who can reasonably have a hand and jump on it.

Nice to see the changes Rapid. I think learning to not overplay your hands OOP after raising preflop would help because you should do more raising instead of limp/calling or limp/folding preflop. Get your river AF up(valuebet/raise thinner).

Are you sure making your adjustments right when you move up to a new level a good idea?? Shouldnt you try implement them at the previous level to get used to them etc?

looks very good

Before I made the adjustments, I spent a lot of time thinking and made a few posts inquiring about preflop strategy, so I had a pretty good idea of how I was going to implement, even before I started out. The 10k hands at 25NL were sort of a warm-up, but I immediately felt more comfortable playing this way than I had felt playing 12/8 (or even 11/8 over some stretches)

I've got a question about iso'ing and raising SPP from LP. Do you most of the time raise SPP from LP or should you limp behind w/ them once you get over 3 limpers? I was reading the threads about blind stealing and taking blind stealing to the next level and this got me thinking about this part of my game. With Axs should I make the same considerations?

Very good the see that the changes worked out well for you, keep going mate!

Without reads, I'm usually limping along with prospective hands (suited aces, small PPs, scs, connectors, etc) if there are 3+ limpers. If there are one or 2, I'm probably raising. I'm not entirely sure how much value I forfeit by attempting to take the blinds down with a good, prospective hand that could make a ton of money postflop. I think I'd rather raise multiple limpers with something like Q8s than 55/89s, but I could be off my rocker. LOL

I also see a fair bit of limp/reraising (and recently I've been seeing it from MP/HJ as well), so limping along ensures that I don't get reraised off a hand I'd love to see a flop with.
