ok-- thanks for the information.

why has it been useless, btw?

Everything was profitable. Your natural inclination is that you are calling too many river bets or too many river raises because you don't feel like you win very often. The truth turned out to be calling with raises/check raises was very profitable for me no matter how I sliced the data. I sliced by hand rank and even 1 pair was profitable. I sliced by pot size and 4BB all the way to 12BB pots were profitable.

Everything was profitable so my conclusion was, "Well it doesn't look like I'm calling too much. There is a chance I'm calling too little. I don't think I'll modify my game at all". And I didn't.

yeah that is why i was going to only look at situations where i felt like i was in an iffy situation given the bet and the size of the pot. obviously if i look at all of the data it will be +EV because i don't suck at my opponents do since i am a pedantic game selector. the query you gave me would at least let me look at all of the showdown situations though if i wanted to look at all of my data at some point though.

so your query is basically "how am i doing at all of my river calls?" i think you should expect that you should be +EV if you are a winning player. my query is "how am i doing at all of my marginal river calls" where marginal is my personal definition of marginal. i dunno if i am +EV there, since kind of by definition i am unsure of it since i am calling those river calls marginal and it's my game i am dissecting. at the very least it will change my definition of marginal to be more correct, whichever way the data goes, which will be a good thing.

heh check out 2+2 wannabe's post for a great example of why i want to kind of run this check-up on my own game.

oh. does anybody want to teach me how to play out of the blinds this month? i will pay. i spent the last two months doing what everyone says, defending with a lot of hands and being loose and all of that, and i got creamed, like -.30 in a full ring game creamed out of the BB. HUSH guys are probably the best guys to teach me to play out of the BB, so if anyone wants to teach me that would be great. if i dont get a lesson i will go back to being really tight again which was working out way way better for me.
