rivercardbandit 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 My own self analysis:I need to be more aggressive post-flop and check-raise more. Did I miss anything? According to the "auto-rate" function of PT, I'm rated as Tight-Aggressive/Passive, for whatever that's worth. Link to post Share on other sites

rivercardbandit 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 What limits do you play?.02/.04 117 hands.05/.10 3834 hands.25/.50 3965 hands.50/1 1781 hands1/2 311 handsRight now I'm playing .25/.50 limit.The .50/1 and 1/2 hands are from Party Poker from my first bankroll. I was playing above my bankroll and playing stupidly (before reading this forum and SSHE)The .02/.04, .05/.10, and .25/.50 hands is the second bankroll in which I started and didn't move up until I hit 300bb. My post-flop aggression at the .25.50 level is 1.8, so it is getting better. Link to post Share on other sites

I have been trying to figure out how to get that out of PT and into a file I can post.Ctrl+PrntScrn or Alt+PrntScrn or something. It's called a screencapture, and you can paste that s hit like a mo ther****er.Holla, biotch.Ice Link to post Share on other sites
monoatomic 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Damn fo shizzie.Seriously thank you. I though about printing it out and then scanning it back in. There is a way to export it to an Excel file but it was to late to fool around with. PrtScrn works just as good. Link to post Share on other sites
BeanGW 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 OK... here's just one quick word of advice. Don't be afraid to bet and raise a lot more than you have been.You are playing at fairly low limits, and playing tight starting hands (from your VP$IP figures). Many of your opponents at these limits are likely playing close to 2x the number of starting hands out that you are, and this means that you have the best of most of the flops that you see and need to come out firing and raising more often than you have been.Peace.

wrto4556 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Steal blinds way more. 35% is good. I think that you play too many hands from early position, though im not sure. Post your vpip stats from each seat.Be more aggressive on all streets, including preflop. You need to raise more. KTs in the CO after some limpers is a raise. Start trying to isolate bad players. Jam the flop with draws. Link to post Share on other sites
obs 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 You have typical new player stats. Better than most since you are actually fairly tight. Anyways, you aren't nearly aggressive enough. Your PF raise should be more around 8-10% and your aggression shuld be more around 2-2.5 on all streets. Link to post Share on other sites

rivercardbandit 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 I have been trying to steal the blinds more often lately. I seem to have a mental block to raising with a hand that you normally don't raise with, a weakness I'm working on.I stick really close to the guidelines from SSHE as far as what I play from which position. When I've deviated from those guidelines is when I get killed, so I've been trying to recognize and learn the right places to make a move and deviate a little (ie. stealing the blinds with marginal hands). In your opinion(s), do you have a cutoff for what hands you would/wouldn't attempt a steal?Thanks for the analysis so far, I really appreciate the input. Link to post Share on other sites
cdddc75 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 VP$IP Stats by position.1 off button: Â 19.242 off button: Â 16.993 off button: Â 17.924 off button: Â 16.845 off button: Â 18.146 off button: Â 17.917 off button: Â 18.188 off button: Â 20.759 off button: Â 28.15On button: Â Â 20.24Yuck.Play less hands from early position and middle position and steal more from the cutoff and button. In an unopened pot, you should almost always raise if you play a hand from CO or button. Cut out some of the speculative hands from early/middle position too. Something's not right with your hand selection or you are being way too passive on the flop. Link to post Share on other sites

cdddc75 0 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Now you should go through the hands in positions 3-7 and see which ones you are limping with that are costing you money.You're cold calling way more than I like also, but that might be a personal preference. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 This is kind of a tangential question that I never got answered the other day...defending against blind steals.What should I be calling in the big and small blinds against likely steals? Link to post Share on other sites
