for not understanding position you seem to be doing really well

what do you mean?

So I have decided to start 20 tabling on stars again, at 1/2 to start with. I have been getting pwned by some of the regs so far, which im not a fan of. I also think I miiight should be betting the turn more. Anyways, here are some stats. Thanks for all the help.

How is your button VPIP/PFR sooo high??! Mine is like 24/18 and my ATS is 50% too.

What's your cbet %?

(Keep in mind this is mostly 5-handed.(boss media))



This is a mystery to me. If i keep losing sklansky bucks, and keep losing showdown winnings, how can i win money?

Does this mean i bluff a lot? Sure, i do a lot of CBs and 2:nd barrels. But is it something i'm missing here, or am i just getting lucky with my chip spewage?

i think there is something about the HH that is causing an error

you seem to be running utterly absurd hot in the bb

the games have to be ridiculously good as well

Ok, i think i figured out the problem.
In my HH:s, villains hands is not revealed when they call and muck. Thats why i cannot see as many instances where i make good desitions.
Mystery solved.

These stats seem pretty solid from what i can tell, my turn and riv aggr are a little higher but my flop ag is a little lower. might wanna close the gap in pfr and vpip a tiny bit but overall very solid. Too bad you dont get 100% rb anymore lol.

50k hand update. I went on a suck heater a few days ago but today has been bad so far. Anyways, I have tried to stack off less light preflop against nitty regs. I think it has been helpful. I am quite worried about the negative won with showdown graph though. Any other advice would be appreciated.

Dont be worried about it. There is a bit of a flock mentality that says you have to have a positive won w/ SD to be a good player, but if you're winning you're winning. I lose a fair bit of money without showdown, about 1 dollar for every 3 dollars in profit, and still maintain a decent winrate.

Focus on trying to figure out where you're losing money. There isnt any one indicator of when or where this happens. You have to go through hands and use all the database programs with the filters and search options to try and isolate spots where you're losing money.

Hi,
This is my first post to the 2+2 Forums after many months of reading them. I would like some feedback on my play over the last two months and my stats are below for you to analyze and provide feedback on.

If you would like to know anything else please just ask:





I know that my agresssion needs to increase in most positions and I have started to raise more rather than limp in to hands.

Thank you.

Umm quick question

Those of you using HEM, pokerev isnt supported right? How else can we get EV graphs?

ohhhh click the box which says display EV
righto

Hi all.
i play 73k hands with small result
Help me
Where potential problems?







ty

Eventus, i think your BB loss rate (-0.25 BB/hand) is pretty high. Can somebody confirm? What is a typical loss rate for the Big Blind?

basically breakeven after 100k+ hands...
desperately need to reevaluate my play! help meee







images not working aaa

Hello all

This is my very first post on 2+2.

I read the forums for almost two months now. I began play poker one year ago, playing mostly sit and go on pokerstars. I lost almost 270 bucks with no bankroll mangament at all and way more beginners mistakes

Well when my bankroll fell down to 6$, I decided to switch on cash game (.5/10cts).It was the last chance i gived to this game but i manage to transforms those 6$ in 140$ in 4k hands.

This forums gave me soooooooo good advices and my game is improving a lot. I consider myself now as a student of the game

I have now 10k hands, i know that it is quite a small sample, but i'm not doing very well I think, and i would like to know if fellow p2pers could give me some advises to pluging some leaks ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Here's some screenshots from Poker Tracker 3 trial version :

This is small stakes, not microstakes for starters so we might not be right guys to answer that. Believe it or not, good small stakes poker is way different than good microstakes poker.

Umm, does PT3 present the cold call percentages differently, because it looks like your cold call percentage is freaking 7,29 %! There's your leak, you cold call too much. If the opponent is tight, you can call only with pairs (low ones only if you get the set odds, ie. their stack is 15+ their range), AK (3-bet please typically), AQ and maybe sometimes with suited connector on the button/co (3-bet with better range).

Cold call % should be way under 3 % with almost every play style.

You can't call with the same range as you do raise (gap concept). This also implies that you're not playing against your opponents range.

Thanks a lot for this answer.

Sorry for posting this in small stakes, i made a search on "graphs" and didn't pay attention of where i was

Anyway, thanks for this advise on cold calls. I almost understood what you said except when you wrote "If the opponent is tight, you can call only with pairs (low ones only if you get the set odds, ie. their stack is 15+ their range)"

What does it means when a stack is 15+ a range

pretty sure he's saying when effective stacks are 15 times the amount of the raise.

example: we are button w/ 22, UTG opens to $4... we should only flat if effective stacks are >$60

15x is generally a good rule for low/mid PP's, and 20x is somewhat standard for SC's

I'm having trouble interpreting some of my results here.

It says that my BB/100 is 14.78, but that my $/100 is 29.56. Knowing that I've played EXCLUSIVELY .5/1 NL, this doesn't compute. If the BB is $1 and my $/100 is 29.56, my BB/100 should be 29.56, right? Why is it exactly half, or why does Poker Tracker 3 think I am playing $1/2 NL?

bb=big blind
BB=Big Bet (a relict from limit poker), aka ptBB (Pokertracker Big Bet) to avoid confusion

1 BB=2 bb

Congrats on your nice winning session!

It doesn't. in PT, BB/100 means ptbb/100 (big bets/100 if I recall correctly?) as a default which is ptbb=BB*2

Most of the people still talk about ptbb/100 numbers as what is their earning rate. Everyone is so used to that number while talking about BB/100 surely makes more sense.

Nice hidden brag btw, get a bigger sample :P

A customised HEM position report which breaks down positional stats to each 9 seats - UTG, UTG+1 etc - instead of EP etc. The totals seemed to match against the HEM original report so I think I did it correctly.

Just copy any report file in reports folder, and change its name to Position FR Custom, then copy and replace all the text/code in the file with below:
