Preface: The pokertracker stats I plan to post below are from tournaments only – just want to state that up front – I figure there must be some unique advice for tournament players right? If you're a tl;dr type, I guess you can just skip all the way down to the pokertracker stats.
Hi folks. I don't know why I've never done this before... I guess because I've been pretty successful and didn't feel I needed it (also because tracking sites for Macs were non-existent/terrible for a long time...) But now I'm looking to plug some leaks and take my game up a notch.
Some things about me if you care: I started playing poker in 2004... Moneymaker effect... and have played on and off since then. I started on Pacific Poker way back in the day. I then switched to Pokerroom.com and played there for a long time. I became a student of poker – read a lot of books, played a lot of poker, and did quite well. I played almost exclusively cash games back then. Brag: years ago I started with $200 at a 1-2 table on pokerroom and turned that into $4,200 in 3 hours. Ahhh, those were the days, and that was the best one. Wish I had stats/results from back then...
In 2006 I started to play a bit on Full Tilt, but really, most of these stats are coming from late 2007 thru all of 2008 (I played full time back then). I only played a tiny bit in 2009 and I just recently started playing full time again this month (Aug. 2010).
Before I post my pokertracker stats I'm gonna post my Sharkscope/OPR stats. Want y'all to know that whatever I'm doing IS working. BUT, I know I have a lot of room to improve and that's why I'm posting here. I would like to become a student of the game again.
OPR covers tournaments with entrants from 11-any
and
in Sharkscope I've filtered for Heads Up (including 4 player shootouts) and also SNGs with from 5-9 entrants.
So basically, it's all my Full Tilt stats.
Now here are the pokertracker stats.
Remember, from tournaments only. I have filtered it for "from 7-10 players". Maybe I should have done 8-10? But 7-10 gave me about 9,000 more hands.
The first two stats got cut off. They are:
Vol. Put $ in Pot: 19.01 (14,412 out of 75,815) Folded to Flop Bet: 70.58 (3,093 out of 4,382).
Note: with 8-10 players my vpip is 18.64 as opposed to 19.01 and my pfr% is
10.3% as opposed to 10.89% with 7-10 players (as you'll see below).
So... anything glaring? Really, any thoughts you have (good or bad). Thanks a lot guys/gals.
