25k checkup

    Default 25k checkup

    Hey guys, hopefully someone can spot something here cause it seems like my stats are ok I'm just losing value somewhere and spewing in lots of spots (most likley with donking out on flops oop with middlepair, etc)

    I know my range is too tight and have tried to work out where to open it up but just can't seem to, and that my VP$IP from the small blind is too large but I have brought it down from 24% last month so I'm working on that.

    I'm winning in all positions but it seems I am only winning small pots for the most part, or getting stacked too often when I lose pots so guess that's something for me to watch out for.

    whats you big pot win% like?
    (any pot that gets over 100bbs in size, youll have to figure it manually)

    If im losing big pots lots im either leaking badly or running bad.

    13.5/5.5 stats. isn't that too tight?

    what's considered good (or standard) for FR?
    (ie. for 6max standard would be about 22/17)

    You're playing too tight with position and probably not testing weak players often enough.

    I play $50Nl as well....looks like you are losing a lot of value somewhere because your "allin luck" graph shows you are actually running slightly better than you should be. Your W$SD seems low so looks like you are going to showdown without the goods a litte too often. Also, your agression factor is quite high--IMO you do not need to be overly aggressive at low stakes to win lots of $. I'm 2.03 AF vs your 3.50--looks like you raise the flop a lot more often than I do plus you consistetly bet the turn and river more often. You may be spweing here but it hard to tell without seeing hand histories. It also looks like from the positional data that you play the same game with the same cards no matter what your position is. Your pf raise % isn't a whole lot different in SB vs Button. This is where i think you are losing the most value--you do not seem to be abusing position as much as you should. Raise more hands OTB and CO and steal unloved pots.

    I seriously doubt big pots are his problem. Being an insufferable nit is more likely.

    well to be honest, big pots are a problem...I can't let go of them

    And yeah, I agree that I'm too tight but as I said I can't see where to loosen up too much.

    I have started putting Axs and sc's into play more in later position but don't feel comfortable raising sc's still as I don't really see the value of something like 67s when you hit the flush though I will sometimes raise Kxs in CO or button if limped round to me.

    I have started raising most pp's when it's limped or foldd round to me and mixing up my range by raising even down to 22 utg once I am getting too much respect.

    I am having trouble 3-betting things like AK/AQ/AJ in any position as I don't want to go getting into a big pot with them oop or when I may be dominated (though that doesn't really impact my VP$IP I guess), and I am definatly having troubles deciding whether to play broadway hands. I may get something like QJs in mp and decide to play it but then it's raised before me and I'm likely to toss it depending on the player....unsuited versions I am most likely to toss pre.

    I have tried to open up more, using NL:T&P hand chart as a guide for what I feel comfortable with, and even made a conscious effort this month to open up more yet my VP$IP and pfr stats are pretty much the same as they were last month at 12k hands.

    position stats seem too flat. you should be raising much more in position.
