9k hand stats review

[Zorkion]

Ok guys, so I've put in a few hands. Is anything jumping out at you? I need to be successful in poker, please let me know if you have any tips.

assuming these are 6m stats.

you really need to work on your button and co play. esp at stakes where people dont defend their button. you dont 3b nearly enough imo.

cant say much more than that given the stats youve shown

[bikes]

oh these are fr stats. you play like a nit. work on your button and co play

You raise more from SB than from middle ? Why? Stop playing trash from the blinds

It's pretty damn normal to open more form the SB than from MP.

Your should be raising and 3-betting more from the blinds than EP and MP, due to dead money posted.

If you fold from the SB, your EV is -50bb/100. If you fold the BB, that's -100bb/100. If you fold from any other position, your EV is 0.

The dead money in front of you "prices you in" a lot, especially at tables with a lot of limpers. The fact that you have position PRE gives you the opportunity to play with more info, and squeeze a bit.

@Zorkion: You're way too tight on the BTN. You're too tight in the CO, too.

BTN ranges can be extremely wide unless the blinds are seriously outplaying you, in which case you should leave the table. If you do that, focus your hand review on that spot the next day and try to figure out why/how the blinds were giving you such grief. Then you can decide if they were exploiting something about your play, and how you might exploit them back when you're in that spot again.

can you give me an idea of what sort of range is good to open co/btn with? ive been trying to play generally tight, but i may have overdone it a bit

[MadMojoMonkey]

There's no "right" range to have in any position.

What you play has to do with a lot of things. I'd say for CO less than 15% is too tight, and 30% is probably too loose. These are just general guidelines. Most of the time, I'm probably between 20 and 25% from CO, but table dynamics matters more than anything.

BTN is largely determined by what the blinds will let you get away with. I'd say that less than 30% is too tight and more than 60% is too loose. I generally play between 35 and 45%, but I often find myself stealing more and more when the blinds don't defend enough, and 50% isn't too uncommon if both blinds are too nitty.

Just remember to b/f when you're stealing/bluffing. Don't pretend it's a difficult fold, just snap fold and move on.

[Zorkion]

Thanks, I wasn't looking for a particular range, just a general idea. I'll work on it

Zork, your stats look generally fine, which is worrisome to me. imo, you should be steadily winning @4nl. with no prob beating the stake in 15,000-20,000 hands. So what are you doing wrong. i can't say for 100%, maybe this:
1) it's been noted in the hands you post that your not listing any reads along w. villains you have decent samples on. find your opponents weaknesses, and exploit them(it's 4nl they all have weaknesses)
2)Value betting. @4nl bet big when yo got it. Small when you bluff.
don't worry nearly as much about your stats. worry about your opponents. you seem to have a solid "idea" of the game.
If your playing 4-tables+ now, only play 2 until you can confidently get reads, take notes, calculate odds, at all the tables your playing on. In fact, your tight LP game screams "playing too many tables, auto-pilot: ON" ..... turn it off

I definitely agree, I've been noticing the same thing about my posts and peoples responses. For this set of hands, I was 9-12 tabling for most of it, and obviously not paying close attention to my opps. I will definitely try cutting it down to 3-4 tables. Thanks for the advice

Yeah, wow that's abolutely too much brotha. I'll be honest. I play my best at 2 -3 tables. In your case, where your going to be working on observing your opponents. i would go w/ 1-2. Ya gotta crawl before ya walk. you need to get used to taking notes .
Hey, think of it this way. at least you found the problem. I'd really like to see your graph @ 12,000 after you cut the tables down. gl

Usually cbet flop and turn are either Flop High, Turn Low, or Flop Medium, Turn medium. i.e. like 80/50 or 60/60. Your turn cbet is slightly on the high side compared with your flop cbet. This could mean you are double barrelling too often, or it could just be a function of your tightness preflop leading to stronger postflop ranges. Might be an area you could check out.

Your biggest leak is probably playing way too many tables before you are beating the stake.
