I'm actually very tight in that aspect. I never go broke with TPTK. The ups and downs on the Graph are nearly always preflop all-ins, sometimes i'm 200BB deep or more and i go broke with aces, that's what you see on the graph. Some are Set vs Flushdraw, or Set vs someone overplaying his TP, thats where it usually goes up.
I have the impression that nothing happens until i have KK or AA and only then it goes either up or down. I don't win too many small pots.
Here some graphs/stats:

Well, you are playing EXTREMELY tight. You really need to open your game a little for 6max. It basically looks like you are waiting for 66+, ATs+, AQo and then expect to double up. It doesn't really work like this. You should definitely open more from the button and from the CO. If you feel comfortable with that, you should start 3betting a little lighter from the blinds. While it is generally a good idea to be very tight in the blinds, you fold more than 90% of the time. That is probably a little much. You go to showdown very rarely. I don't know an exact figure that is "good" but 22% seems to be very low. You make too many "big folds" probably and felt your hands in the wrong spots. It looks like you are basically getting run over.

"I never go broke with TPTK"

him: "why the change of seats?"
me: "I think my old seat was unlucky"
him: "lol"

I am about to fold this hand, until I notice that the guy who minraised is my favourite new buddy who will bluff off his stack with whatever crap he has given the chance and all I need to hit is a TP hand and I'm golden, so I call.

me: "Yes, I think so [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]"

a few hands prior to this I have been making huuuuuuge overbets with great hands, and he keeps on folding. Last time I pulled an overbet (~6 hands or so previous to this hand) I showed a bluff. This time I river the nuts and try again and finally get him to call one.

and then finally a little later.

Button is a complete nit (who can't fold AQs preflop [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] )

2 hours into sunday - down 2 buyins already *sigh*

[jonyy6788]

words cannot describe how much I hate isolating shorties PF and then getting called for a coinflip of a buy-in, that sucks Matrix

[matrix]

it burns cos I am actually a dog pre cos between them they have like 12 outs 5 times [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I also thought I'd rivered both of them until the pot got shipped - ho hum

3 hours into Sunday - now up 1 buyin.

Weekends are very swingy for me...

Time for a break and a spot of gardening I think.

weekends=nit it up time (I think I played 13/11 yesterday, lol)

[matrix]

I don't want to nit it up - I want my hands to not get sucked out on [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

My "standard" game is 20/15 or so - I've run at 24/16 cos the weekend plebs like to call off stacks too often so I try to be more aggro and play more pots.

some highlights.

pocket 5's - vs over aggro donk I c/r all-in a ragged flop after putting him on overcards - he snap calls with AQ and spikes the turn...

AK allin pre &lt; AJ (flopped trip Jacks)

picked up AA 10 times - yet to see a flop with rockets etc.

If I run good ever on a weekend and my hands start holding up I'll nail a 10buyin day - right now I've played 2k hands this weekend so far.

$40+ ~2ptbb/100 (after running at ~9ptbb/100) most of last week.

Going for another 2k hands before today is out - we shall see how it goes later [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
