10k Hands - what the hell is wrong with my stats?

[SnglMaltScotch]

Wow..

You have some pretty strange stats. I don't really get it. You are pretty laggy preflop which is fine. You are very aggro postflop with is good. Yet you get to showdown >30% of the time. These 3 numbers don't add up. Plus you W$ASD is really low. Try to not take so many weak holding to showdown. Again, I don't know quite how this is happening since you are so aggro.

Post some hands that you are not sure of.

Your problem (NL 0.10) is that you cannot beat the rake. Overall you won 60 bucks from your opponents, but you paid 190 bucks to be allowed to play with them.

In an essence this shows us that the rake is so absurd at those levels that even if you triple your winnings, you would still be a loser on this site.

Is this a level? NL 0.10 is most certainly beatable. Also, talking about "tripling his win rate" is nonsensical, since he has a negative win rate.

edit : what you mean by abc poker? playing strictly the recommended hands in the standard way? and how can i learn some decent value betting? is there a good video featuring this? i've read this forum the whole day now and i feel a little bit lightened up

[Please keep in mind I'm new as well and I'm learning as much from this as you are; my information should not be held in as high esteem as others.]

As far as I can see you played hand #1 quite well, standard, and picked up a lot of loose money.

In hand 2 I'd be somewhat wary of coming back over the top of his preflop raise, and if you made a read on him then I would assume it is justifiable.

In hand 3 I think it's 50/50 to even make it to the flop. He raised 3.5 BB so he has something, and if it's a PP you're instantly outmatched 75% of the time. If not he's probably got two higher cards which stand around a 40% chance of busting you. When the flop hits you're in bad position, with a horribly low pair and a horribly low flush draw. A pot sized bet is not the decision, and I think I would check because it's very likely someone caught that flop. When someone re-raises and another pushes you should be out immediately. This is a good example of losing a lot in a pot you should have not involved yourself in.

Finally, hand 4. I don't know about re-raising his raise pre-flop and I'd think about calling depending on your read on him. Him catching the 2 is a bad beat, and your biggest lesson should be having a sizeable bankroll will allow you to prosper over time as these people play these hands. You'll probably win 75% of the time on this hand if you continually replayed it, and so you'll make MUCH more than you will lose. Bad beat.

you're waaaaaaaaaaaay too aggro for NL10. Trying to run over weaker players who won't fold bottom pair to raw aggression aint the greatest idea.

Just value bet when you have a good hand, and check and fold when you don't. And don't bluff...like ever.

ok ill try that at pstars now, thanks [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd say, "You can't bluff a calling station."

It's likely that in the micro limit games he's playing that people call too much. Sometimes new players at low stakes think along the lines of...After all, my "stack" is only $1, right? And I have top pair with A3o, so that's worth my stack, right?

My guess is that he's bluffing too much at loose passive tables where people pay too much to see the flop, then don't fold when they catch a piece of it.

I'd recommend bluffing less post-flop, continuation betting into multi-player flops less when you miss, and value betting more.

yeah i really have to stop bluffing thats true! thought about that too..i'm just freaking out when they call me with j5o and losing controll. i have to learn some discipline..ok ill post some of my best and some of my worst hands in a few minutes.
