Nothing tilts me more than losing at a lower level than I usually play. I wanted to play for an hour before I went to lunch, so I play 100 NL instead of 200 NL because I only plan to play for a little while so I don't want to spend 30 min filling out the tables due to long wait lists at 200NL. I proceed to drop around $250 to 60BB morons who never fold preflop, get all-in on the flop with some garbage and then hit the river, time and time again. This happens 4-5 times before I go on monkey tilt. Even when I lose 1.5K at 200 NL I don't tilt this badly. I just hate losing to retards when I should be winning like 3420804324234032 ptbb/100 against them.

Besides the dreadful loser-rates from the blinds anything else look off here?

I would not have thought this possible:



Funny part is, I'm 9.26 ptbb/100 at $100NL over the last two days. I'm playing mostly $100NL but usually have a half dozen $50NL tables open to fill out to 20+ tables because after the first 15 or so $100NL tables you get into some serious nitfests and 50NL is usually so easy to pwn.

Just the blinds Donk. Seems like you're running bad or overplaying some hands from the hijack and cutoff.

Mr. Donk,

I found a good post from Pokey in the FAQ of the SSNL forum concerning analyzing PT stats. Worth looking at imo.

I'm mostly wondering about the vpip/pfr gradient and cold call/3bet %s for all position, and specifically for the blinds since they seem way off...BB so low and SB so high.

Anyone know their 3 bet % from the BB? SB?

[Chargers In 07]

Download Holdem Manager and you can figure out the 3 bet % stuff(it's free afterall). I use PT while playing but after every session I put the hands in HM to review my big hands and bad plays.

edit: obviously missed your edit lol

[SABR42]

Donk, you cold-call in position less than me but 3-bet more.

Not saying that's good or bad.
