Default Re: $25NL JJ in BB vs shorty...

Karp,

1) I'm thinking about starting up a datamining sevice for PartyPoker for you muppets who don't have reads and PT stats on your opponents

2) PF - probably a little on the loose side, but your cards are pretty, you're the 4th person in, and you close the betting, so it is fine

3) Flop - checking is very standard. You don't want to 3-bet, and if you get raised by the pre-flop raiser (as is likely) you're going to be putting a lot of money in while behind.

Since you don't have the best hand here, and have no reasonable expectation of everyone folding, betting is a bad idea.

4) Turn - you now probably have the best made hand, and have a flush draw as well. I'd probably bet marginally more ($11 or $12 into a $16 pot) but your bet is better than nothing.

5) Betting is LDO, calling seems LDO. If you lose flush over flush, so be it. Some flushes beat you (A, K, Q); Some flushes lose to you (T,8,6,5). You also beat weirdly played overpairs, bluffs, TT, JJ, 77 and 89, which all might play that way.

So I'm trying to understand pokerace stats more. What is a loose PFR? Does it work the same way as %ranges in sngpt? So if someone is 15% PFR does that mean he's raising 15% of his hand? What is loose, medium , and tight for PFR. What about Total agression postflop? What is loose, medium, and tight. For attempted to steal what position does that mean CO and button?

[/ QUOTE ]

Basically, yes.

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes.

It means that of the hands you have recorded for that player, 15% they raised preflop.

[ QUOTE ]
What is loose, medium , and tight for PFR.

[/ QUOTE ]
PFR is a measure of aggression, not looseness.

A good NL 6max player will have a PFR very close to their VPIP rate. It would be reasonable to aim (subject to differences in games etc.) for the difference to be between 3% and 6% or so.

eg, 24/20, 19/15, etc.

[ QUOTE ]
What about Total agression postflop? What is loose, medium, and tight.

[/ QUOTE ]
Again, that's a measure of aggression, not of looseness.

Be aware that a player's aggression will be affected by their VPIP - A player that plays 12/9, would often have an aggression factor of 4 or 5 or 6, because they're only playing premium hands preflop and would logically have premium hands post flop.

By contrast, a player who plays 50/10/2 could be equally aggressive post flop, because they're playing so much junk that they can't raise.

A 50/10/6 player would be a crazy maniac.

[ QUOTE ]
For attempted to steal what position does that mean CO and button?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes.

It means they've raised unopened pots from the CO/Button/SB.

So if someone has a high VPIP and low PFR that means he's a calling station? How do I expolit that? So I should raise less because he calls too much?

If someone has a high PFR I should be 3 betting them more or calling in position to take it down?

I'm thinking % to steal is a good indicator whether or not to 3 bet also. How high of a % does it need to be for you to be 3-betting him with crap? If I see him 4-bet me alot does that mean I should 3-bet him less and only with premium cards?

To 3-bet or not to 3-bet depends mostly on how often they call, not how often they raise.

So you don't want to 3-bet people who are too loose or too tight then right? If they are too tight wouldn't they have something when you 3-bet them? When you 3-bet someone who is too loose you are going to need a good hand because he will call you?

Should I be folding these hands if my plan is basically to c/f the flop? First hand notice we're 190bb deep. Last two hands are against the same opponent. What should I read into the full pot cbet. It sucks playing these oop [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

VPIP and PFR are just preflop numbers. you could have a 50/0 that loves to raise every flop no matter what. This guy definitely wouldn't be a calling station. Aggressive preflop players generally have a PFR that is within 2-4% of their VPIP. Somebody whos VPIP is twice that of their PFR ie 18/9, 24/12, 34/17 tend to be more passive since they are calling as much as they are raising preflop. A 80/40 is just a maniac.

Not all players play postflop like they do preflop. some TAGs (16/14 ish) are quite passive postflop while some fish (40/2 ish) like to play the flop and turn very aggressively. Figuring these things out for different players is key. Postflop aggression gives you somewhat of an idea here. Also the fold/call/raise cbet stat is very helpful. Some players, both good and bad, will float (call you lightly) your cbets on the flop but fold a high percentage of the time on the river.

Another preflop thing comparing a players PFR with their attempt to steal %. Some players Stl% is twice that of their PFR, hence they are pretty tight and straightforward from UTG and UTG+1 (and most likely positionally aware), but are very aggressive in position. These of the types of players you might look to 3bet. Against a 20/18 players who steals 19% of the time you generally don't want to 3bet this player lightly, however against a 16/14 who steals 29% of the time you can probably widen your 3betting range.

As for 4 betting, at 25nl and 50nl you won't run into very many opponents who will 4 bet you light. I do it rarely when its obvious so aggrotard is 3betting me with a huge range. However you don't want to widen your four betting range too much. 88+ AJ+ would be a loose 4 betting range for the lower stakes.

Hope some of that made sense

I think checking behind on the river is standard against most players but against fishy players who float and call down multiple streets with very weak holdings am I missing value in these hands?
