Are you trying to say this is somehow a stupid bluff/play from opponent because of previous actions by you?

I see CB on flop, huge draw on turn, and an attempt to take the pot down on the river. How did he "crack"? By not pushing the river?

graph and PT shot plzzz also where do you play.. I'd like to see a screenshot of ur games, too see what quality they are, tough/soft

[/ QUOTE ]

Here's my current database, not many hands here yet and I'm running hot. As you can see my stats aren't optimal (VPIP/PFR ratios are out) cause I'm still messing around with my game.




FWIW my stats usually converge to about 19/16. I am looking to open that up to 22/18 for 100nl. Work in progress [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Oh and for those who think I had it easy at 25nl, I had a 6 buyin downswing in those 8k hands, it was murdah

I'm gonna go grab my stats from my previous DB too

[Guruman]

i'm considering jumping from short handed limit holdem to another game, as the limit he games are pretty dry these days.

what direction do you see the nl games going? Is this a good time to get in, or are these games on a deteriorating track as well?

I prefer limit style poker thinking, but it could just be that that's the only kind i've done. With that said, I feel like I could make a move to a game like omaha or stud (or TD [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]) though I'd be remiss if I didnt consider the biggest game going these days.

advice?

thx!!

Wow, missed the other 9 on the flop. I guess he does'nt know Zeebo.

[SirFelixCat]

Thanks for doing this ama. I'll be up with you at 100NL by the end of August, I hope.

That said, a couple of ???'s:

What do you feel is your biggest weakness?

When you 3-bet, esp when OOP, and are called, when are you checking the flop?

And do you play on FT at all?

eta 2 more:

How many tables do you play at one time and how did you get to said number?

Lastly, thoughts on the advice I give as well (why not, eh)?
I figure I have lots of room to improve, so I'm open to corrective cricism from those I respect.

please tell me you don't remember me.

I'd like to hear about the "microjump" between 50NL and 100NL in your shot taking, please. I'm doing it soon as playing 50NL with a 3k br seems a little silly and I'm way comfy at 50NL.

Cheers ama for doing this.

You made a post recently that said you took some time to completely look over your game, and came back playing much better.
I was wondering what were your stats pre and post the change, and what things in your game that your started doing differently?

Thanks again [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Here is my first database



As you can see there are just some wierd numbers there. My won at SD is great, but my winrate sucks. My PFR and VPIP ratios are all out of whack, and I think the biggest thing is that I am WAY too passive. But I think that probably what messed me up the most is just playing poorly postflop and spewing. The numbers won't show that.

[ama0330]

Heres a graph of my first DB. This is from the very first ever hand I played of NL. As you can see, I'm winning, just not very much.

[ama0330]

Heres the graph of my current database since I stopped playing like ass. Notice the difference? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Note: check the downswing at the beginning! zomg
