SNG numbers from pokertracker - opinions please

[TylerDurden]

Ok, I know 5k hands isn't enough for these numbers to be solid yet, but I thought they're probably meaningful enough for useful comments/analysis to be made. I'm playing the $10, and recently $20 single table SNGs on empire.


These are my numbers averaged over all blind levels:

ROI 38.5%

VPIP 27.3% - looks about right to me

Saw flop 27.73% - Same here

Saw flop outside blinds 15.41% - Too tight ? Is it possible for this to be so far off a good average over this many hands (5k) and for it to just be statistical variance and not overtight play?

Aggression factor - PF 0.64, flop 3.21, turn 1.82, river 3.00
Average aggression factor 1.21 including pre-flop numbers
Average aggression factor 2.59 not including PF number

Aggression factor looks way way too low pre-flop to me, but I don't feel like I limp too much - again could this just be that the sample size is too small? The numbers for the flop, turn and river look ok to me.

Another thing that occured to me is that limping in as the BB or just completing the small blind might be counted in the call % calculation in pokertracker, if so the first few rounds in a SNG of rock-tight folding would have a high ratio of calls/limps to bets/raises. Does anyone know if this skewing is happening or if these cases are not counted in calculating the aggression factor numbers?

How do these look?

I think you are going to showdown with too many mediocre hands. Partially I think you may not be isolating people properly with your preflop aggression. Preflop aggression is a big key to the game. You must learn to isolate properly so that your showdown percentages go up a little higher. When you are playing mediocre hands keep in mind that you do not want to see a showdown unless you flop a true monster.

And dont worry about being a little bit of a rock early on. Makes a great way to make up ground later.

On a side note...I personally go to showdown about 15-30% of the flops I see.

Tyler,
If your goign to try and analyze stats like this maybe try breaking it down to blind levels / Number of players..

POSKid,
your 15-30% sounds like a ring game stat?

SnGs you end up short handed and are forced to play ALOT more halds, grouping numbers into one big lump makes them too hard to analyze.

Look at your VP$IP for 10 players then check for 4 players.
you see what I mean?
