Stats on me

Note on stats:
all hands 4 tabling, except:
(55k hands of NL 50 8 tabling)
(15k hands of NL 100 8 tabling-- went on 13 BI downswing, moved to 8 tablin NL 50)

Tips on improving? Am I too ABC, ABC is supposed to beat SSNL... I have the most trouble vs villains w/ VPIP of 30+ who will splash around postflop and use position well... I sometimes end up tilting vs these players. I do not fair well w/ loose 3 bettors well, i usually just change tables or wait for monsters if they seem wreckless...

Maybe time to hire a coach? But i've felt coaches are for higher stakes, i think i have the nuts and bolts, but i don't see the BIG PICTURE... Someonehelp, i feel i have FGators syndrome (not playing large pots w/o alotta equity)

i always found you tough to play against at 100NL back in the day. it may just be handreading that you need to improve on, you may not be valuebetting thin enough (this looks probable given river AF). regardless, 4.33/100 over 240k hands is nothing to sneeze at. Just try to actively discuss hands w/ people as good as or better than you as often as possible and don't over-adjust to 1/2 like many ppl do. PM me your AIM if you want to go into more detail.

3.45 is pretty good considering u 8 table

tufat23 · #4 08-21-2007, 10:07 AM

i would assume ure terrible postflop, from the numbers.

get a coach, but no one that costs less than 100/hr

ReptileHouse · #5 08-21-2007, 12:00 PM

Your turn aggression numbers look a bit low to me. Do you fire many second barrels? Semi-bluff the turn with draws?

From your descriptions, it sounds like you feel uncomfortable in reraised pots. Have you read the new NL book yet? The SPR stuff and general comittment discussion is fantastic in that context (good in general, for that matter).

delta k · #6 08-21-2007, 12:01 PM

I expected much worse, tbh. Maybe just running cold?

dragonystic · #7 08-21-2007, 12:05 PM

these numbers look pretty good. bump your turn AF a little higher and i bet your bb/100 goes up with it.

My best guess would be that you are an ABC TAG. You play solid poker and beat the game by taking money from Donks.

However, you most likely are very easy to put on a hand and then push you off that hand. A good player will not pay you off when you hit and is going to make you easily fold when you miss.

Improve post flop play.

Focus on the other player, not your hand.
Put the other guy on a hand every pot and act accordingly.

Try to get a better understanding of the game of poker in general, not just holdem, most of a conceptual understanding of how money is won at this game.

Your win rate is directly in proportion to the % of donks.

50NL > 100NL > 200NL.

When is the last time you took a pot away from someone? When is the last time you rep'ed the flush or the Ace on the flop??
