BTW: did you analyze your stats accoring to pokey's pt guide in the essentials? I never did it so I don't know how much you can get out of it, but it might give you a few more pointers where to start working on your game.

Haven't done that yet, but I will do it right now.

Thing, you are erring on the side of aggression when you see a flop, 2nd barrels or bluffs or something. Don't ask me to say how I know, but I do ... maybe you err in RRs pots oop from SB ... maybe it is in general ... dunno.


But when you play like a nit, you have to fold like a nit .... that is fundamental!

Caine, good post. You're right -- results are a tool that can be used correctly or incorrectly. And just as learning how to play a draw OOP is a poker skill, so is learning how to use results.

Gelford, you are probably right about this. Just looking at other (winning) players' stats in the past, I've noticed that I'm tighter PF and more aggressive post-flop, which I found to be odd. I probably need to tone down my aggression a bit and focus more on pot control.

One odd thing I noticed about my stats is that way back before my downswing (when I was winning) early this year when I was still transitioning from limit to NL (both 6max), I was more of an 18/13 player. Looking at the positional stats, it's clear that I was playing more hands in UTG and MP, and probably the same amount of hands in the CO and BTN.

As I learned, I tightened up significantly in the earlier positions but kept a similar game on the CO and BTN. This obviously gave me nitty PF stats, but at the same time, should have put me in a better position to win money. I'm not sure what my point is here, but it's an observation I just had.

The only reason I was able to post it is because I have been Grunching all of my sessions. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Should I maybe loosen up a bit PF? I realize this is a recipe for disaster if my post-flop play isn't solid, but I really hate passive play which is why I cbet 90% of the time and fire a 2nd barrel when I have TP or better on a turn that isn't too scary. Perhaps I should check behind more often (obv this is dependent upon the situation)?

i played about 1k hands the other day at 12/9, does it get nittier than that?

All love to Pokey, pretty much the best poster ever, but I have to say that his stats survey might not be very applicable today. For one thing the sample size was very small in those days. I think when I sent him my results I had a total of 50k hands. For another, it shows you just an aggregate of so many different things, including levels and playstyles. It was a bunch of 28/25 LAGs like me mixed in with more solid players. The result is not an ideal player, it's an average.
