Is this normal? NL25 graph

ranka · #1 10-19-2007, 06:33 AM

Hello everyone!

I have seen similar "donk question" threads - Is my stats good? What is good FR stats? What PT/BB would be etc. Maybe this thread is same "donk question" thread but I am worried about my game.

I think may game is too unstable - one day I am up to 5 BI and running 10 PT/BB, another day down to 2-3 BI. I made graph and please look it up and tell if its normal or not. If its not normal and you have any ideas, please feel free to commenet.

Also I watched "monthly goals/graphs" threads and most 2p2 regular graphs are much more stable not so swingi as my graph.

Okey:

my graph from the 25s looks pretty similar. poker is swingy man, thats all. as far as your stats are concerned I wouldn't worry too much in terms of seeking "normalcy" or stats similar to other players. stats are a reflection of your style and you have to figure out what style you are most comfortable with/makes you the most money. this graph is on the up and up so it seems like what you have been doing is working. nh.

That pretty much how it can look. Mine can be similar. It would look more steady if all your good cards did not come together and vice versa.. but it does not always happen like that. good job

Looks quite good in fact. 13/11/5 is fine. Move up u should not have any prob. w$wsf and w$sd seems ok even if I like 50+ for w$sd I suppose that at NL25 this stat is lower because much more goes unbetted to sd when you are bb. Wr is good I think but over 56k it's meaningless. I would try to steal a little more if I were you. By the way what's the problem with QQ ?

I really don't know [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I hate JJ/QQ because they are borderline hands, they are strong but they are also weak. TT and smaller PP-s are much easier to play - don't hit set and met heavy resistanse - give up. Or AK, if you don't hit, don't play. But QQ/JJ I cant fold them and I assume I am losing too much value - check calling turn/river and afraid to be beat by higher pocket etc.

Seems OK to me. Quite a lot like mine, in fact. I think you have to expect some sizeable downswings unless you're absolutely crushing the game.

Maybe the regular's graphs look smoother because they have a larger sample size?

Also nice to see a reasonable number of AA dealt...I was beginning to wonder about the dealing algorithm (I'm 20% under expectations through 30K hands)

Im going through a 6 buy in downswing at 50NL right now. Seems like nothing is going my way, just wondering if this is normal,i have about 55 buy ins so its not a big deal money/ bankroll wise...i know i have some leaks but still...whats the biggest downswing you guys have had?and how do you deal with it?

6 is nothing. I've had like 10 in 30 min, but I think that wasn't a downswing as much as me handing out stacks. Expect to have a few of at least 10 if you play a lot of hands though and thats if you're a solid winner and don't tilt.

I have 4-6 BI swings regularly. Usually a mix of coolers and just playing bad. They get easier to handle the more you play and the more you experience them. The way I handle it is when I start getting that little tingly feeling going through my body (not sure if i'm the only one who experiences this). That means it's time for a break. My advice is to do some sort of physical activity away from the keyboard. Even if you're not tilting I think it's best to cut it off asap before it even ensues. But yeah, during big swings you should always go through hands of downswing to determine whether you're playing badly or just getting coolered. Post them here if not sure. Hope that helps.
