Quick check please

[Knytestorme]

Firstly, yes I know that ~3k hands is nowhere near even close to significant but I've just restarted playing after a few month break and I have some concerns about what PO is showing me and the swing I have been on the last 10 or so days and thought if people could take a quick look at my stats and see if anything really sticks out it might be helpful in case I have picked up a bad habit I can't see myself.

The one thing I know I'm doing now is stopping playing AQ and AQs for a while since the next biggest loser after AQs is 33 for only about $23 total so it seems I am having trouble with AQ and losing to either KK when I only improve the Q or to AK etc so I figure take it out until I get some confidence back.

Anyway, the first 2 graphs should show my cause for concern and then my stats after that, and thanks for any opinions or help.

sorry i cannot be too much help here because 3k is not significant.

the reason i am responding is to tell you, no matter what you show right now, that is NOT an excuse to pull AQ out of your arsenal. to me, that is poppycosh.

i, too, took a break, and through my first 10k hands back, KK and AK were losers for me. did that mean i should never play them again until i "re-learn" how. you cannot forget how to play AK, you can overplay it (AQ, too), but you cannot suddenly forget HOW to play AK or KK.

can you see the silliness? put it back in, and keep playing it hard. it will win you several bigger pots down the road. i guarantee it.

you may have been up against AK more than usual. while, at the same time, you havent found AJ with your AQ...yet.

3k hands is nothing to say anything about certain hands. i don´t have stats here, but over the last 7k hands AA is one of my top 5 losers with a net loss of ~$140.

instead of thinking about taking AQ off your list, you´d be better reviewing the big pots your AQ lost and try to identify where exactly you made wrong decisions. posting hands will always help.

until you feel more confident with your game, stop stacking off w/ TPTK/GK in 3bet pots, when in doubt.

Yeah, I know about the 3k and wasn't going to post but just have a feeling there is something in there that I am missing.....or maybe not.

As for the AQ, I have looked at my hh in poker office and it's been 3 hands...one to a set, one to AK and one to KK, have posted them in HH forum so will see. Problem I have found with them so far though is that the pot hasn't been raised pf except by me with no reraise back at me so it's been hard to tell that I wasn't ahead each time :/

yup, that sucks. darned passives. please TELL me you have me beat, so i can fold and save my money!! lol.

It looks like you may be calling too may raises from the blinds and completing too often in the sb with weak hands.
