2/4 Stats, Graphs, and Hands

_brady_ · #1 03-07-2006, 04:56 PM

Just a little check up. My last 7-9K hands have been pretty crappy, and I'm starting to doubt if I'm better than a break even player. I feel like I should be beating this game for a fair amount since I practice decent table selection, and I can usually find plenty of tables over 40% VPIP, and sometimes over 50.

I think my blind play is probably not up to par. I've been focusing on blind defense threads, but if someone could comment on my blind stats that would be appreciated. I'll also look for some blind defense hands I've had, and try to post those once the converter starts working for me again.

Another thing I've been having trouble with is my play after missing flops. I can't tell if I'm possibly taking them too far, or giving up too soon. I posted a few hands at the end of this post relating to this situation.

Thank you very much in advance for any help

Bump for the evening crowd

I'm thinking that most people will hit the back button on their browser due to length/info overload.

Probably, but if I can get just one person't insight it would be worth it.

There have been many threads on stats lately so if you dont get enough replies in here then you can always search them out and take a look at their stats compared to yours etc.

A couple of things I noticed while glancing over it:

- Steal the blinds more. 35+ is much better.
- Defend your BB more. Mines mid fifties.
- Fold BB to Steal HU is always much too high.
- I also think you can play a lot more hands in the CO. You may be missing some isos against weak limpers.
- I also dont know why you have such a high CC % from UTG+1

Last thing I'd like to say is that you should check out some variance threads if you believe that 7K of breakeven hands is bad.

Yo

Your hands look ok. Hand 2 I'd call the river for 7:1. I like the river call in hand 4.

Please don't worry too much about your BB/100. I had a 25K stretch over 3BB/100 - I had a -290BB swing in February, got even, and last 3 days I just ran into a -150BB drop. Weather's advice on your stats is sound - certainly defend the BB more vs. steals, as very few hands are weak enough to fold, given the odds to call & see a flop.

Post your other hands, I'll give them a look. GL
