anyone who is reasonable at poker, please read and comment

I'm not sure "laggy" and "17/14" belong together. But, it does look like he loosened up on the button somewhat.

I think bottomset's post is just about exactly right.

On top of that, it might be worth looking at your 10 biggest losers in the BB and UTG positions to make sure you got in reasonably well. It mostly looks like your getting killed in places where you naturally play strong hands. When that happens, it is usually luck outrunning skill. It is worth taking a good critical look at those hands, though. There may be some tilt creeping in and eroding some of your decision making.

During a recent bad run, I found my PokerEV red line was starting to dip down in big pots. When I went back and took a look, there were a couple of big pots that were just stubbornness. I had some tilty decisions in there that cost me a couple of buy-ins that I shouldn't have given up. That's never the whole story, but it may be the one thing you can actually fix.

There's your problem, missing sets.. cause we are all so good are games depend to a sizeable extent on sets.

Setometer seems to suggest that you have lost -5000 with overs v sets, conversely you have won +3000 with set v overs. So over the sample, villains have been doing better than you at getting you to stack off with overs. This could be down to the 4 hands you lost set v overs. Although that would still have you minus a tad.

Great thread

tighten up a little
turn AF too high

[ActionStan]

Looking at how much you're getting killed in the BB, have you run into more than your fair share of sets in 3 bet pots when you've had overs? A little bit of cold deckage with 4 or 5 of those + running 30 sets below expectation == sad poker player

i just want to second what 1PB and Btmset said. Your hand sample is so small its nearly meaningless. but imo, 100K hand sample is nothing as well. a lot of us put in 100K+ hands a month, so a 50K hand graph can just be running good for 2 weeks. I have 100K graphs that vary sometimes wildly/extremely from each other while my vpip and pfr remain within a tenth of a percent from each other. so yeah, tighten up a lil UTG, loosen up a lil more on the button, and put in some more hands. and post again when u put in 100K hands at the same limit.

So you ran bad on AIE and flopping sets.

Also let me add that the games are a tad bit tougher than they were at the beginning of the year. So if you're not winning 3+ptBB/100 then so be it.

you guys are all absolutely wrong.

the problem comes from his play in UTG and UTG+1. have a clue.

and to the guy with that sample of a million nits, it tells me A)I should play FTP, and B) You probably have those results because the nits have to play more hands due to their [censored] winrates. And is that the standard PTBB? or the one that's just BB/100 cause I know you can change the option in PT and running at 6ptbb playing 20/5 over 800k hands seems blasphemous.

In my experience, I don't think 5+ ptbb can be achieved long term without at least 17vpip in full ring at 1/2+...

Not that my opinion matters much, but the 73% Fold to river bets seems like you're chasing draws a bit much, or have MUBs
