My blinds suck donkey balls but i think its the LHE in me wanting to play more than I should. Well, let me know what you think.

[dan]

[gabe]

Nice stats jeff

[aislephive]

Those are indeed good stats, you seem to be pretty solid aggressive. A few questions though, how long did it take you to get this many hands in and how many tables do you play?

As gabe pointed out, your W$SD% is a little low, this means you're going to showdown with the worst hand a little too often, but it's probably just variance if anything, but who knows. You seem to be running pretty well but playing well also, that's a good combination. Don't expect this to last nessicarilly though, and prepare yourself for a downswing (they love to come immediately after a heater I have found). Good job though, and good luck at 1/2 when you move up, it's very soft.

It took me about 35 hours of play and I'm up to 4 tabling now, although my average MT Ratio is 2.8 for this session. The last 2000 hands I spent using no table selection and no seat selection AND no webHUD to see how well I did and it worked out pretty good; I WONT be doing this when I move up. I have a habit of eating short-stacks, which, even if they double up off of me once, chances are they won't win twice.

I'm starting 1/2 on Sunday, and will probably play that the rest of the month before I go up any higher. I had SOME variance in this game, but no where near what I'm used to at that 10/20 6 max game. 150 BB swings there werent uncommon, which, for a relatively decent winrate, is substantially more variance than what I got at .5/1.

I'd say the most I was down in a night was like 4 buy-ins and I've had 6-7 buyin upswings a few different days. Not very many losing days once I got the hang of it, which is nice for once but, as you said it can change. There were days I would go like 8/9 with AA and be down a buyin with them, its those days that annoy the crap out of me. Also, running KK into AA 3 out of 7 times got old quickly too.

I'm sure this is all old news for the normal NL players but I'm used to winning a damn near guaranteed 2 bb/100 with my AA!! Well, with no glaring leeks I'm going to move up. I still make 1-2 donkish moves every now and then but compared to where I was I feel good.

Post your detailed stats please. I'd like so see your postflop numbers.

You actually seem to be doing very well in the blinds.

Want to trade notes on blind play vs UTG?

I've been losing money UTG + HJ until I started slowing down. Over my last 10k I made moeny in my SB (tight BB FTW), lost very little from my BB.

Auto-raising small suited trash against typical 6-max players OOP was a big chip burner. Mixing back in limps and folds helped that a lot.

Common Limit vs No Limit pitfalls:

o Defend your blind less. Althought it looks like I defend at the same rate as you, so you dodged that one.
o Showing down lukewarm hands too often.

Finally, it's ok to limp. Really. My PFR has been trending down to about 15% right now.

I have a habit of eating short-stacks, which, even if they double up off of me once, chances are they won't win twice.

I wonder if this is another ex-limit player thing. The NL guys don't gamble as much with the shorties and I usually get comments from them reguarding my ranges against them.

Do these look like hands you'd play?

I looked over my UTG and HJ hands, and, I don't see anything in there that I wasn't doing at 6 max LHE. It is the same range as before, except I have added 9Ts with small success and J9s and 98s with no success. I really feel dirty open limping right now and haven't grown accustomed to it, that might take a while.

Yeah, defending the blind less is something I'm still trying to change. My FBB2steal number has been slowly increasing but I find that if button minraises or 3xs preflop, and then the SB calls, I've got odds to call IMO with a lot of hands. My blinds were a weak spot for me in LHE as well; I'm just glad they don't hurt you nearly as much here.

Actually, outside of the A8s open limp, pretty much exactly what I'm doing. I'm usually 'gambling' with 77+, AQo+ and maybe AJs, depends on how much it is to call as well. As long as I have the guy covered over 2-1 or 3-1, I'ts an easy call as they push with crap like KQo and ATo and lower pairs. I am probably just running well too.

[johnny_fish]

You raise a lot in EP.. I guess that's Axs/SC's too? Are they profitable oop?

[elipsesjeff]

Open raising range:

JTo+
9Ts+
22+
A9s? maybe

And possible a little lower suited connectors based on teh table.

Since I've never played limit execpt by accident, I'd have to say it isn't, because I do the same thing, but then again I learned how to play against them here so maybe you limit guys have rubbed off on me
