Hi guys!
@BotaKtan shared their database and I generated more detailed reports.
I made a small review and maybe you will have something to add or correct if I made a mistake or missed something.
If you are a micro stakes player and would like a review like this for you, feel free to PM me (it's completely free).
1. Results
2. Selection
We don't have a select option on Zoom and I want to show how bad it is for us and motivate you to switch to regular tables.
These are the results when you had a fish at the table with a VPIP of 45%+:
The result says that you play badly against fish, which is not the main thing.
You play with fish at the table 18% of the time. This is a very low indicator.
In poker, the fish are our primary source of money and we should aim to play against them as often as possible.
At best, 82% of your hands just turned your bankroll into a rake. At worst, you additionally lost to other regulars.
2. Results by position
Target win rates by positions:
3. Preflop
3.1
Open Raise ranges look fine.
The results of the open raise in position should be 120bb/100+:
The results of open raise out of position should be 60bb/100+:
But given that you almost always play against regulars I think your results are ok in these spots.
3.2 Fold to 3Bet looks low in early positions and the results in the position look not good.
Should be better than -250-300bb/100 depending on your Open Raise sizings:
But at the same time, the results are better out of position:
Looks like a sampling error, but I would pay attention to it.
3.3
Calls and 3bets
Call from free positions results:
Negative results indicate that you are more profitable to just fold because in this case, your win rate would be 0bb/100.
Use calls in these positions in the right situations, such as when a fish is in the blinds and you expect to win a big pot if you hit the board.
Otherwise, I recommend don't do these calls and 3bet or fold from free positions.
When calling on the SB you have a lot of strong hands that would be more profitable to 3bet:
When you call a non-premium range on the SB your results are much worse than folding:
Filter:
In general, the 3bet or fold rule for the SB is even more important because we always play out of position postflop.
It looks like you are calling the BB with the same range against all positions, 20-24%.
This is not quite the right approach. We should widen our calls depending on the position of the first raiser.
Something like 15% vs EP and 35% vs BU.
High 3bets from all positions and it's ok if you do it for exploit. But the results say otherwise.
In position should be 350bb/100+:
Out of position should be 250bb/100+:
So I would recommend 3betting a little less, especially against early positions.
You also need to put in order the ranges of protection on the BB.
For example, on BB vs SB, you don't need to expand your 3bet with hands that you can call better than -100bb/100.
If you're using polar 3bets in these positions, then choose hands to bluff 3bet outside of your calling range, something like this:
This will expand your overall BB defense and will give your opponents less motivation to expand their open raises.
For postflop analysis, the sample is not large enough.
The main stats look pretty aggressive, that's good.
High Cbet/Fold Flop 70%. This can lead to you being Check/Raised more often.
High Check/Fold on the Turn. But your Check/Raise is fine.
You also have high delay Cbets IP and OOP. This is a good exploit at these stakes.
As a caller out of position, you defend the flop wide and fold a lot on the turn.
It might be worth working out some defense on the flop. Defend the flop a little less to make it easier to defend on the turn.
Float and Check/Raise look okay.
Let's summarize
1. In my opinion, the main reason you don't win is Zoom.
You have everything you need to start winning, but no players you can do it against.
Try to play the same distance at regular tables using a good selection and compare the results.
Yes, at first it will be very boring and not as dynamic as Zoom, but what's the point of spending 165 hours at the tables where you just turn your bankroll into a rake?
Not to mention the spoiled mood, and endless streaks due to the low win rate.
2. Adjust your preflop ranges. Especially BB defense.
Calls from free positions and the SB should be the exception, not the rule.
The Preflop is the foundation without which there will be no correct postflop.
3. Keep working on the strategy.
You have some model of your game. Now focus on individual spots and try to improve your results in each of them, but not all at once.
For example, work on def BB as Caller OOP. Learn the theory, work it out in practice, and only after you feel confident in this spot, move on to the next one.
Improve step by step and enjoy the process.
Good luck!
