pokerev, winning pots without showdown [theory]

I've read through this whole thread and taken absolutely nothing from it. This graphing crap is in no way helpful in improving your game. Just post and think about hands more, don't try and win too many small pots or whatever because someone said your graph probably means you are too weak in small pots.

All this is is a small comfort to people who are running badly in all-in hands. Also, may negatively effect them because they will be blaming 'running bad' rather than actually playing bad.

I've just ran at like 2ptbb/100 over 25k hands at 200NL. My graph says I ran under expectation over this peroid, but I know I played real crappy in a few hands, so I'm concentrating on this, not on how badly I ran on coinflips or whatever.

I think with all the filters in this there is great opportunity to find the specific situations where you could improve your game. Especially in balance between agression and pot control; take the small pots win the big ones.

If your total winnings are lower than your showdown winnings for example, you are probably missing a lot of value from stealing blinds, cbetting and stabbing at small uncontested pots.
If your showdown winnings are negative, you probably are agressive enough to take more than your share of small pots, but don't surrender quickly enough on later streets where a steal failed or you have a marginal holding.

This is only very general, but I think with the filters you can get quite specific and improving an overall balanced strategy.
