Hi guys, so far i have played 18k hands(16.7k@ 50nl and 1.3k@20nl)

Im wondering if some of you would take the time to go help me plug whatever leaks i have in my game.

I have a few questions first of all though.

Is 18k hands a sufficent sample size?
What do i actually need to post?
Are there any other things i'm overlooking?

Thanks.

18k should be enough to determine a lot of leaks.

If you have pokertracker, start by posting the general stats and the positional stats.

Didnt get much time to look but i think you may be completing the SB a little to much. Also you win without showdown is really low, most people say it should be close to break even or a slight win rate. Also I think there is a sticky in the uNL forum to do with plugging leaks using PT. There are also sweat/session review sign up i think aswell that happen monthly

Overall stats are not bad but look a bit weak-tight and nitty. However, you are not losing that much without showdown so it's certainly not disastrous.

Your VPIP by position changes very little -- you could definitely open up a lot on the button and cutoff. Doing just that, and learning to continuation bet well should be a significant improvement. Also, steal a lot more, especially from the button. Anything below 30% is just giving away money IMO.

You should loosen up on the button and increase your attempt to steal stats. Also, you can post this in the NL TH FR CG micro stakes forum as well. They may have a stats/graphs analysis thread. You can get a lot of great tips there.

Besides playing, review your hands, post your hands, read books, read strategy articles, watch videos, use the forums, and you may want to hire a personal coach to help you out as well. Use a balanced program. Good luck, Yojimgari
