I guess this kind of a noob question but im curious.

1.What kind of software do you use for HU sit n gos (if any)?

2.What do you use to track your win rates?

3.Do you think one could play for a living, Only playing HU sit n gos.

4.At level do you think playing for a living is feasible?

5.Do you use rakeback and does it affect your winnings by a good amount?

thank you for answering my questions if you choose to do so. Sorry if they are noobish.

1. Pokertracker but pretty rarely.

2. Sharkscope.

3. Yep.

4. This depends on how many tables you are playing, how many hours per day, and how expensive your standard of living is. With multitabling I figure it is possible at the $20 range assuming you put in a legitimate amount of hours. Single tabling probably the 33s or 55s.

5. No, I made my account before I knew about rakeback. I'd probably make like 8-10% more if I had it.

Edit: Missed a comma.

Why do you block your stats on sharkscope if you are a winning player? (i've always wondered this about winning players)

[Dromar]

1. What's your standard "raise from button" range for the first level of a HUSNG (10/20 blinds, 1500 chips/player)? Are you a raise/fold player, or will you call with some hands preflop?

2. How much would you say you adapt to a player's tendencies in a given HUSNG match? Or do you just play standard for the most part? Do you ever make plays that you normally wouldn't make specifically with the intention of making a note of that player's reaction to it?

I thought you weren't able to keep up with y our results with ss if you block your stats?

Ty,

PS: xSCWx, good responses thus far.

[dboy23]

please descibe that $2k downswing in the middle of your graph. What buyin level was that at? Were you playing well the whole time? Did you change anything in your game during it?

Hopefully I can think of some better questions. My biggest problems have usually stemed from dealing with downswings so any advice in that respect is golden to me.

I find myself checking it after every couple games and playing around with all the different filters so I spend as much time looking at strange statistics as I do playing. I don't really care if other players see it, I just don't want to look at it myself.

It isn't very difficult to unblock, it just stops me from compulsively looking at results after a couple games.

Probably the biggest adjustments I had to make were in adapting to the players across the spectrum from tight/passive to loose/aggressive.

I was really hoping to see a Pooh-Bah post on *this* topic.

After a disgusting number of games, I'm still not convinced I'm very good at recognizing player tendencies, much less exploiting them.

Everybody talks about how you have to pay attention to what your opponent is doing, and exploit their mistakes, but there just really hasn't been that much about specific mistakes, and *how* to exploit them.

There have been a few things here and there, but even a thread that was intended to be devoted completely to this very specific topic ("post common villain mistakes and how to exploit them" or something like that) was strangely devoid of real answers.

Of course, I realize the main reason for that is that it's all insanely situation-specific. It still seems like it ought to be possible to approach from a high level, though.

Eh APXG was actually really good at poker despite his inability to articulate it and his tendency to bicker about nothing.
