I just switched to 5NL after getting comfortable good at 2NL. At 5NL I recognize that I'm sitting on some serious leaks that causing too many swings. It's a smaller sample but it's enough to see something isn't right.

This is my graph for 5nl:

LichTim, the sample size is way too small to discern much. VPIP/PFR/3bet look pretty good, but I'm troubled by your very high Agg numbers and low WTSD. Are you playing very 'fit or fold' post-flop, or c-betting and barreling at a very high frequency?

Over a larger sample you might have some obvious post-flop leaks, but for now it could just be that you've seen a lot of flops with big hands, but just haven't got paid, or the opposite - you're missing a lot of flops.

I've been playing poker for a month or so and I've been struggling with winning consistently. I built up my bankroll on both 888 and Pokerstars and it has been swinging up and down while taking shots at higher stakes (NL10). Glaring leaks that I see indicates that I need to loosen up my range, especially in later positions, steal wider and defend my blinds more. I think this might have to do with multitabling 8+ tables for a while and playing too tight. I've also noticed that I seem to have a hard time letting go off hands while playing less tables and "finger-tilting" when I know that I am definitely beat or behind villain's range.

Anyways, I would appreciate any advice on plugging up my leaks!

2 Major leaks:

15/12 is way too nitty - try to get to somethong like 24/22

Position:
You nearly have the same VPIP from all positions - it should be appr. 3 times bigger from BTN then from EP (try to play 30-40% on the BTN and only 10% in EP)

Are you playing 6max or full ring?

6max so I'm too nitty. I've been using these opening ranges since posting from UTG-SB: 11%/16%/23%/42%/32% but I'm not sure if the button and SB ranges are too loose. They include some low suited connectors, one-gapped suited connectors and some off-suit connectors and frankly I don't really know how to play these optimally if I don't hit the flop. Any thoughts?

I think about 18/20/26/50/45 is about optimal.

I think those numbers would be OK (albeit tight) if you actually followed your hand chart. If you add the UO PFR% stat to the positions report, I think you'd find you're playing tighter than you think. Playing too many tables is a common cause of this. It leads to too much auto-piloting, and allows you to avoid all the tricky spots, such that you never really learn anything. If you cut down on the multi-tabling, you can learn how to play the weaker parts of your range, and also have more time to plan each hand based on stats/reads and board texture.
Your VPIP in the BB is incredibly low (13%), which makes me think you're clicking the "check-fold" button way too early with anything remotely marginal. Observant regs are just gonna steal your blinds constantly.

You are correct on all points and it's surprising how I felt I was playing loose but the UO PFR% doesn't lie. The low VPIP in BB must be a habit from playing Zoom where I check/fold any hand that I'm not 3-betting any open from all positions. It's also become ingrained in my playing style whereas I never call OOP but instead I'm taking a 3bet/fold line, which isn't close to optimal I'm presuming. I think two-tabling for a while to plan ahead for tricky spots instead of flat out avoiding them while using all the advice I've been getting here will help a lot and I thank each of you for taking the time to help me.

This is a huge leak. In general, your continuing range from the bb against a 3x open should be slightly wider than your opponent's opening range.

I had to restore my laptop today so its wiped everything. ive reinstalled pokertracker, but all I get is.. unable to create postgresql database. pt4 db. reason unable to login to database. reasoncould not connect to server connection refused. is the server running on host? and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?. also this might be a firewall issue.tryed everything from uninstalling and been on google nothing is working. any help please

Not sure why you felt the need to ask this question twice, or indeed in this thread at all, but you need to ask it in the PT4 support thread instead. That's in the Commercial Software sub-forum, within the Software forum.

Would like to get your thoughts/criticisms on my 10nl 6max play... Casual player, try to grind out at least an hour or two everyday. Conservative bankroll management practitioner, about to move up to 25nl.

Where on earth are you playing where you can beat 10NL for 10EVbb/100 while playing 29/8/1?

God Bless the USA. Ridiculously weak post-flop play makes calling weak easy.

On a serious note, I know my VPIP needs to come down a bit & my PFR needs to go up to have success as I move up. I assumed my winrate at 10nl is due at least in part to the bad play at such low stakes, just wondering what else I can work on.

I don't know wheter this should be in dumb questions or not..but how do I interpret which type of player my opponent is based on numbers. Let's say we have a sample of 1k hands, and have a NIT, LAG and TAG at our table. What are their default numbers based on position for VPIP, PFR, 2B,etc..? Is there a chart for this, because I can't find it.

Hi guys! been awhile since I last posted here but anyway, please help me take a look into my stats. All 10nl reg 6-max




Thanks in advance

Hi, I have just returned to poker after a year long hiatus. I have been playing SNGs for a month now, mostly 18 man with some 180s. I used to play 100-200 man normal speed scheduled MTTs.

I have played about 37.5k hands in 750 games.

VPIP: 21.4
PFR: 18.3
3bet: 8.33
Flop Cbet: 67.3
Turn Cbet: 46.1

Flop Cbet Success: 47
W$WSF: 46.7
WTSD: 64.3
W$SD: 51.8
Agg: 2.09

Hi guys. Wondering if you could look at my stats. Just returned to poker and used to be a winning 10nl player but it seems my play has changed in my time away. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

EDIT: I'd also like to mention that I play 6max Zoom/Rush games.

You look to be very tight, playing less than 1 hand per orbit.

Hey guysy

After I have played exactly 20005 Hands (2 NL) I wanted to know if I am a TAG or a TAGfish.
To be honest, I feel like I have improved alot, but maybe I just want to think that ;D On the other hand, I don't limp with A9o (and call a raise) anymore like I did when I started^^. Or I don't overplay Overpairs (against nits and TAGs) and get owned by set mining that often.
So I really want some feedback. And besides that I want to know if I am slow learning guy in poker, because it took me over 20k hands to get into the green zone.

1.) My stats FPDB

VPIP18
PFR 9
3 BET 3
st 25
fst 84
car 9
cbf 83 (I guess it is to high and should be about 60)
fcb 59
afr 29

F3B 52.4
call 3B 37
F4B 60


2.) My EV as you can see It was a rollercoaster and I was pretty sad when I was once loosing 17 USD...

I have seen graphs from others, how were able to make +EV from hand 1, so it is depressing somehow...
I am thankfull for feedback and replies.

I have a tough time understanding your other stats.

You have a huge gap between your PFR and VPIP. Something like 18/15 would be better if still on the tight side. I would work on that first and then open up your ranges.

Your 3bet is very low. Even with a 3bet that low you are folding to 4bets 60% of the time?

What kind of hands are you 3betting? If you are turning QQ into a bluff that is a problem.

oh sorry my VPIP is 14 not 18. Sorry.
The other stats are fold to steal, steal attempt, fold to cbet, cbet on the flop and call a raise (car).

Some people are luckier at the start, or did more studying before depositing. It took me about 20,000 hands before I really thought "I can beat this game", but that's actually a very small sample size which doesn't reveal a whole lot. The learning curve is steep, and your graph could go up and down while you experiment.

Your stats look like those of a reasonable beginner: fairly typical weak/tight newbie. You didn't say whether you play FR or 6-max, but if you stick around in BQ and get involved, you'll learn a few things and find your own leaks.
