Default Style problem

Hello!
I play NL400-NL600 (6max and 5max) mainly NL400. I think i need to update my play

- I think i got a decent Agame who beat, but not crushes, the table

- I am strict at table selection

- I take alot of notes

- I play 8 tables

- I think i have a little tilting problem, but it gets better and better. Nothing critical, but i
can tilt for some minutes and then start recover or just quit.

- I dont use PT or HUD etc, cause i think it will destroy my feel..? I am maybe abit stubborn
and think i do my things good.


I have logged my hands and i reinstalled my PT and importet 75k hands today.

To my suprise i play at vpip-pfr 16-11!!!!! i dont want to be a nit, i f)#( thought i was semi laggy

To my suprise (2), i have a winrate at 3.9bb\100


NL400 and 600 is maybe there i can win, i know if i try play higher i get crushed.
I need to improve my skills, and loosen up. I could start 3betting PF alot more, that could be a start

What shall i do, tips, trick, articles, videos, etc?
im thankful for help or a discussion about my problem

reg.

Just keep what you're doing (keeping lots of notes) and just experiment raising more in LP but remain tight EP. You're definately on the right track. You can get some coaching sessions which I think will dramatically improve your game. As of now, keep taking those notes, observe how they play, and find a way to exploit it.

nothing wrong with 3.9 over 75k hands. doesn't seem like you have a style problem.

certainly not optimal and much higher winrates are attainable...

Hire a coach, if you just loosen up at random, it could very easily be in the wrong spots..

Why fix something that aint broken? You do NOT have a problem. There is room for improvement of course (as always), but don't do it because "you don't want to be a nit". Do it because you see a lot of bad plays by your opponents and you think you can play more hands profitably. Adjusting your play just to satisfy some stat-ego that wants to be a LAG is not the way to go. Playing loose takes a lot of skill and you need to be far better than your opponents to make money this way.

Look for weak opponents and play more hands especially in position vs them. A good example is opening with approximately all connectors in CO/BTN when it's folded to you and the blinds are bad/weak. Just start by adding slightly worse hands than your current ranges and you will graduately be able to exploit worse players for higher winrates. Also a good LAG does not have fixed ranges for all positions, his range is a function of position and very important: the table dynamics and the other players at the table. The ninjamultitabling nits tend to fix their ranges completely which makes them so predictable and easy for good and more aggressive regs.

play less tables, and play a wider range of hands.
