Profiling villains
I've been using PT to analyze villains in my database with 1k+ hands. I check their detailed stat sheet, their position stats, and watch every hand they played. I will list some notes I have been making, but I'm new to this and wondered what you more experienced folks do to profile. Each profile takes about 15 minutes, but I end up with an "attack plan" for the regs. Here's my points of analysis.
1. Blinds. Do they let their blinds go too easy? How often are they stealing?
2. Opening range. Which hands do they open? When do they limp? What hands do they play for a rr?
3. Flop. Do they c-bet with air? How often? What's the cr frequency? Do they like tricky plays? How do they bet monsters (flopped sets, etc)?
4. Aggression. Note the passive call stations and the overly aggressive.
5. Betting patterns. What do standard bets and raises mean? What plays are the capable of?
My plans of attack are simple. Target their blinds. Tighten up my estimate of their range. Look to play big pots when their range is narrow and I have a good two-way hand. Attack the calling stations with value bets, and avoid c-bets (take a free card when they're too passive). Look for rr opportunities against the aggressive, see if I can get them out ahead of their hand.
Of the 5 profiles I've made so far, I'm up $$ against 3 of the 5 already. And I feel great every time I get into a hand with one of them.
Any advice on other common leaks to look for? And how do you exploit those leaks?
