Mid-levels on Stars + other stuff (stats + finish dist. included!)

[nuggetz87]

Okay, here's the deal. I've spotted 3 leaks in my game, 1 or 2 of them major. FYI, all the stats in this post will be from $60 Turbos that I've played this month. And BTW, even with my flaws I still have decent/good ROIs at every buyin I've played, so that should say something for anyone doing worse than me.

1. Big loser at 75/150 and 100/200
2. Losing with big aces (AK, AQ) in early levels
3. Too aggressive on the bubble

Here are some screenshots (this month only). Clicky clicky:





1. I'm not sure if I'm playing too many or too few hands. My vpip/pfr for 75/150 is 14.5/13.1, and for 100/200 it's 21.9/19.9. So I'm raising a lot, shoving unless I have lots of chips.

2. This one is pretty minor I think, but when I raise AK/AQ early I usually c-bet the flop and then get rid of it, if I missed. Maybe this is too simplistic.

3. Not really going to be covered in this post, just thought I'd include it as one of my leaks. I actually think this has developed as of late, so I just need to start playing with SNGPT again.

What I'm mostly looking for is help with the mid-levels. Any tips or stats that might be useful. If you have something you don't want to post or don't feel comfortable sharing with everyone, please PM me and we can work something out.

Anyone else having similar problems or better yet, have overcome these problems?

I don't think losing in level 3 or 4 is that unusual, I am a slight loser at those levels also.

Yeah, 75/150 and 100/200 are definitely the levels where most people are losers.

I think you're missing BT pushes, and I think you're making marginal calls with AJ/AQ. I also think you underestimate the antes which allow you to push any two from CO sometimes.

You're missing bigstack into smallstack bb>sb pushes too, I would think.

Regarding the big aces - I don't see how they can be a problem. Perhaps your contbets are too big.

All that of course is nothing compared to the big problem you're facing: your bubble play. You're busting on the bubble too often. I think you're making marginal sb>bb pushes at 200/400.

Are you c-betting your AK/AQ 100% without regard for no. of opponents, flop "dryness" or position?
