4 Month Checkup

[Landlord79]

I know most of you balla’s play 20k hands in 3 days, but this is 4 months worth of hands for me (20 to 25hr/mo.) Please let me know what you think could improve based on the stats you can see below.

August was my best month ever and has already been surpassed this month. I had $313 in my Bodog account on 8/1/07, I was at 25NL then and am currently playing 100NL.

Overall, I’m happy w/ my results, but I know that I can continue to do better.

$16.93/hr since Aug 1st.
$34.96/hr so far for Nov through the 21st (with much bigger swings than any of the previous months.)


Thx!!

I think you should steal more. You are leaving too much money on the table.

Your stats are so weird, I dont really know what to say. FT games play wayway different from stars....

Your winning at a very good rate though... assuming thats ptbb/100

What's weird about them?

The box is unchecked, therefore, it's the lower of the 2

Everyone has there own style and it is obvious that you are winning, just stick with what your doing. I dont know how to read stats that well, so sorry I dont want to tell you some BS.

ZOMG I'm going back to Bodog. That's PTBB/100. A lot of people might tell you to raise a larger percentage of your hands, but I think the Bodog games are probably affording you more profitable spots to limp. I find it a little concerning that you're playing more hands in the blinds against a steal than you're stealing with yourself, though.

GB,
Give me a stealing range >11% that I can use from the CO and Button. As is, I feel like I am stealing constantly and bordering on being a bully who is about to get stood up to. I posted all this so that I can learn something, what can you teach me?

This is probably the spot where your range should be the most dynamic, as in, don't have a set range of hands which you always steal with. If the blinds are super nitty, you may be able to profitably steal with any two cards. If they like to play back a lot and/or are better players than you, then you want to be more circumspect. I'm not an expert on blind v. button play by any stretch, nor do I steal at 46% like Ranka, but I do try to open and close my range based on who's in the blinds, effective stack sizes, and recent history. I put folded big blind to a steal on my HUD, too, which helps (although it takes a while to converge).

A default range which will get you around 30% or so is any pair, any suited ace, most unsuited aces, any suited king, any two cards ten and up, all suited connectors and one gappers, unsuited connectors. You can open up or narrow it down from there.

My stealing range is just over 30% atm. Axs/Kxs/45s+/64s+/T7s/22+/Q8s+/any broadway/two cards above a 9(K9/A9/etc.)
