I'm trying to improve my game and would like to now which leaks you can find.

Here are my stats:







Any comments are very much appreciated!
Thx!

65.3 vpip ratio seams a bit high.

Ginger:

Just to clarify what I think Damien was saying, you are cold calling a bit too much.

The stats you posted look ok, but I'd be able to tell more about your game if you post your position stats.

It looks like most of the extra cold calling you are doing is in the blinds, so I'd be very interested to see your blind loss rates to determine whether you are leaking by defending too lightly.

ginger78, ARE U EXCLUSIVELY PLAYING RUSH POKER? (800 000 HANDS)

I 20-table @ Stars and play about 1000 hands/hour making 50k a month

here we go

Yeah, your cold calling percentage is out of line, too high, in both blinds and on the button. Your blind loss rates are both on the high side, so it looks like you may have a bit of a leak there.

to check this for yourself, just go to HEM's hole cards report and filter for the blinds under main filters/position and more filters/did cold call = true. You want to remove from your cold calling range (or fix the way you play them post flop) all of the hands where your loss rate is worse than folding.

Really what you will do is look at at classes of hands, right? I mean, if you are down with A9s but up with A8s, it doesn't mean that you should dump one and keep the other. You should look at all ragged suited aces as a group.

You should do the same for the button. Your cold calling % from the button indicates that you are calling a wide range, based more on the player than on your holding. But it may be the case that there is a part of your range that calling simply isn't profitable.

Your button win rate is standard, so I would not be surprised if you are making a profit cold calling. The only thing we are looking for here is whether your otherwise solid button win rate is masking a small part of your cold calling range that is unprofitable.

Everything else looks great--mad props.

You are right, I have to take it easy from the button / blinds, I guess.
Thanks, buddy, this is really much apprechiated!

Hey Guys,

i am horribly struggeling with my blind play. i can offer of course all screenshots; i thought i give a summary what i found out. i really dont know in which direction i should go, helps is appreciated. i the data is not enough, i can provide of course the screenshots, or more information.

i am running like
-45bb/100h bb (13/9)
-25bb/100h sb (12/7)

as far as i remember that is considered beeing a huge leak. i had already coaching, but my winrate in the blinds didnt really improve. my overal style is 14/12/4 3B, i play loose/fishy tables and table select very well, so i tend to have fish to my right and regs to my left.

- steal 22% from the SB
- calling range vs BTN/CO is like KJ+/QJs+/88+
- calling range wider from the BB when the SB steals.
- resteal ~7% from the SB and the BB
- fold to steals 89% SB / 85% BB.

play without depending on position of opener
- raise non premiums (JJ- AJs- KJs- QJs-) -20bb/100hands
- call with the non premiums +50bb/100hands
- including premiums (AQs+ QQ+) i am running on +650bb/100h.

play vs a raise from the BTN/CO
- +260bb/100h including premiums
- non premiums ((JJ- AJs- KJs- QJs-) +240bb/100hands
- resteal/3b -22bb/100hands.

free look from the big blind +2bb/100hands.


so, i dont really know in which direction to go now.
- resteal more?
- call wider?
- do overplay/undervalue things?

I have some major leaks. If you are willing, be brutally honest.

90% cbet is not good

Thank you for pointing this out. I ran a cbet report, breaking it down into IP and OOP. I noticed that I am losing money when OOP and winning when IP.

What do these stats say? Should I keep my cbets IP as normal but lessen my OOP cbets?

Looks like you are losing a huge amount from the big blind. You'd actually be saving money if you just folded it ever time.

However your sample size is still really small so you can't really draw much from that as your small blind losses are very good.

I have a feeling your problem may involve your 3betting from the blinds when facing a late position opener with non premiums.
You may be not playing well postflop when your 3bets get flatted by the late position opener or something similar. Maybe cut out the bottom of your unprofitable range?

Also you seem to fold to steals quite a lot. Many regs may see these high fold to steal percentages and raise any two cards on the button.

Hey guys Im making the transition from 6max to FR and was wondering fi you could spot any leaks in my game.

Tommy:

Everything looks solid except for two things;

Your c-bet is really high. I'd be looking at my flop and turn win rates to make sure that I am making money. It looks like you should be doing ok.

The only other thing is the blinds, where you are taking a beating.

You need to look at three different sets of filters to see what the main problems are:

1. filter for cold calls from the hole cards page. Look for ranges of hands that you are losing with. Typically, people that are losing from the blinds cold calling have two main leaks:

a. losing money with strong hands such as AQ, KQ, TT, 99, etc. This is a postflop play leak, and you will have to do detailed hand reviews to see how you are doing.

b. mis-identifying marginally -EV calls as marginally +EV calls, and calling preflop. You have this leak if you are losing money calling a wide range infrequently. So you'll see a lot of cold call frequencies in the 1-5 hands with hands such as 54s, 76s, Q8s, A5s, etc., etc. This is an easy leak to plug--just fold.

2. Filter for hands you complete: preflop action facing player is unopened/1 limper/2+ limpers, vpip=true, pfr = false. There are two main leaks you can have here:

a. completing unprofitable trash hands. Again, use the holecards report and look at ranges of hands you're losing with. People frequently misidentify some hands as profitable to complete that actually are not.

b. missing raises. If you see a bunch of completions with solid hands, you have this leak.

3. Light 3 betting from the blinds. Filter on the position page for did 3 bet = true and filter on the holecards tab to remove AA, KK, QQ and AK from your preflop range. If your winrate is low (say, 100bb/100 hands or less) you have this leak. The problem is usually not a range problem, it is usually a problem with 3 betting the wrong people in the wrong situations. You'll want to do detailed hand reviews of your 3 bets from the blinds to make sure you're picking good spots.

That said, there are some common post flop leaks that drag down win rates with 3 bets. Over valuing decent top pair hands is a common one. You can discover these by using the holecards report to look at all of your 3 bets with starting hands that have a low win rate in your database.

Setmining in 3 bet pots is another common leak.

All in all, I would be somewhat surprised if you have any of the 3 betting leaks to any significant degree; your 3 bet % is only in the 3% range, which is pretty low, and usually keeps people out of much trouble. I usually see people getting into trouble with their 3 bets when their 3 bet % goes above 5%.

Your blind loss rates look so high that I suspect that there is some run-bad in there, too.

What percentage are you defending with?

is that just vpip of sb+bb?

edit: I assume that's vpip of sb+bb vs. steals right? How do I see that in HEM?

Hello All,

Here are my 2010 numbers:

[IMG][/IMG]

Back story:

Been playing for 3 years, did well in '08, '09 was meh, and here we are now. Have played anywhere from 50nl-1Knl, but bulk of it has been 200nl-400nl. 2010 is 50:50 ratio of 100nl and 200nl

I feel like I am winning only because of 'hard work' (i.e. tilt control, roll management, not playing tired/drunk and putting in hours) but in terms of poker fundamentals I am extremely lacking in some areas. If any other stats are required I'll re-up.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

Ok here we go. All 50/100NL FR stats. I have some idea what some of my leaks are, but would gladly appreciate some external input, thank you!!

Thanks for helping!

I am posting my graph for this year, full tilt rush poker, 100NL and 200NL combined. I do not really know how much can be learned from a graph, but I would appreciate any input/suggestions.

I have worked on getting a positive redline. It was negative, and then when it went to horizontal/neutral that is when I was making the most gains. But as it went positive, my win rate dropped (it went to break-even to a little bit negative). I guess I might have just become an aggressive donk in the process of trying to improve my skills at stealing the pot. I also guess that this graph is proof of simply improving your redline does NOT make you a winning player.

I hope that I am not destined to be a break-even player. You can see in the graph how I changed my game. Please give suggestions on what I should try to do next, things I need to think about, etc. Any insights you can give me on how you improved your redline while remaining a winning player, or mistakes you made, etc., would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

the problem resides here

I would stop worrying about red, blue and even green lines. Just try to play well. Ignore the forest, focus on the trees.

what can you buy with redline?
