    I'll have a look at this in more detail later. Well done on the win, but you are limping far far far too many hands from shitty position. J9s, JTo, A9s, QTo, QJo are all folds preflop from early/mid position.

    In this case you got very lucky with some nice postflop boards but in most other cases you will be bleeding off chips by playing these hands.

    Thanks Taipan, this is not the first time i have been told this either. I suppose i need to be nore disciplinedbut i allways think that i need to accumulate chips as fast as i can to stay in touch. Ive read HOH 1 and are a quarter through HOH2. The first one helped immensley and im consostently getting to the bubble but most of the time just getting knocked out there as i struggle to finish off i.e what do i open my range p to? should i start stealing blinds more often? etc, etc. Hopefully the second HOH ill help with this.

    playing too many hands and playing weak/med strength hands too aggressively. that j9 hand early on is pretty bad, but you're lucky he called with worse. just fold pf.

    hand 2 - 93o , flop is meh, i just c/f , turn and river are really bad and you are never ever ever ever good here

    hand 3 - not saying this is played bad really, but just another example of betting big with a weak hand as u only have tpnk.

    hand 4 - don't go crazy just cuz you have picture picture, fold pf

    hand 11 - don't open limppppp

    hand 12 - if im betting the turn as a bluff im betting this river too

    hand 16 - here's a spot where limping seems okay, you have a med pocket pair with a monster stack and 2 people limped in front. raising to 300 seems very spewy here because youre just building a pot with a bad hand, the limpers are never folding for 200 more.

    hand 22 - leading seems bad with your hand

    hand 30 - u might slowplay yourself into disaster!

    ahhh it cut off at hand 31!

    So how tight should I be playing, A VPIP of ? 10? 15? 7?

    I realise its best to play super tight inthe early stages but does that mean I have to wait around untill i pick up monsters in position and limp in with PP's to set hunt?

    I have tried this tactic before and some success but as the blinds grew my "M" drops faster than Winehouse after a bad hit!!

    Im opedipus bitch, the original balla.
    I didn't review after the J7s hand and taipans/GMML advice. But yes you should be playing very tight in the early stages. Opening with solid value (JJ+, AQ+). Raising with premiums (QQ+, AK). And only limping small scs and pps in late position behind other limpers.

    In the early stages, remember the chips you lose are more important than the chips you win. So bleeding of 30 chips here and 30 chips there cuts down on your stack in the long run, which cuts down on potential Fold Equity when you need it later on.

    As the blinds increases, your stack decreases, or the number of players decrease at the table, you should start opening up. Looking for chances to steal from tight blinds on the BU or in CO. And remember when on the shortstack (< 10bb or so) you will want ot push allin or fold preflop. Standard raising or calling is pretty much out the window.

    You can't really generalise, however these are my VPIP and preflop raise stats for the first 4 levels. At each level I have about 15,000 hands played:

    10/20: 13.4% 5.3%
    15/30: 13.4% 5.4%
    25/50: 12.4% 7.0%
    50/100: 12.5% 10.1%

    No, but from early and mid position you do have to play very tight. You can open up your range a little from the CO and a little more from the button.

    Basically, from early position the only hands I am playing are JJ+ AQ+ (maybe TT) for a raise and 22-99/TT for a limp for set value. Everything else (including AJ, KQ, QJ, QT etc.) are in the muck.

    That's OK, sometimes a whole SNG will come down to folding every hand because you can't find a +EV spot then finally shoving all-in when you do come across a +EV spot.
