Poker Tracker Stats (First 20,000 Hands)

Hi

I was talking to a couple of players and they said they would have a look at my stats in pokertracker for the first 20,000 hands I've played. It is 95% 9 Player Max Games at levels between .5.10 and .50/1, but mostly .25/.50.

Here ya go, thanks. All players comments welcome.

Sorry, I'm not the person to give you an overall reply.

I just thought I'd point out how odd it seems that AQsuited is one of your biggest losers but AQo is one of the better winners.

Is this all down to variance or is there a reason.

Never looked at the stats in detail but I lose a load with 10Js as well.

Some muppet once told me it's the best drawing hand, which technically it is but only a shade better then 56s or 78s. Anyway since that little nugget of info it's cost me loads/

jonnner

I'm sure the AQs thing is just variance.
Why isn't KK in your top 10? Perhaps you should examine the hands to see if you are having trouble folding when an Ace hits.
Otherwise I think your stats are ok and you are certainly aware of how important position is.

Is it just me or is your VPIP from the small blind incredibly high? It seems youre losing quite abit from doing that

peeko

Gosplan, I think the AQ is just variance at the moment. And jonner I think the reason why KK isn't on the list is because I got in preflop about 3/4 times with a full buyin and was up against AA. I'm sure over time this will correct itself! (I hope)

And yeah Kev, the VPIP from the SB is incredibly high, I will be certainly looking at what I do in this position a lot more carefully. I wonder why the BB VPIP isn't so high. Both these positions will have to be looked at more carefully. I think the reason the VPIP isn't so high is because there might have beem limpers in the pot, therefore I didn't actually volentarily put money in the pot, it was allready in there, and then my K8 looses to KQ!

tribulus

Your vpip for the sb is not very high, you're getting a chance to see the flop cheaply most of the time with less than great cards assuming it's not a raised pot - and i suspect at 25/50 there's still a lot of limpers/more passive players.

I used to think this myself as I think i posted mine up a while back at being even higher 55% or something.

Those stats look fine and it seems if you have any problems they arent preflop. The one thing I didnt note is that you cold call raises preflop with AQ, KQ & JTs. In general this is a losing a play and will cost you a lot of money.

fuzzbox

Seeing 56% of flops with A9s, 89% with KQs etc, leads me to believe that you call too many raises with these kinds of big suited connector hands.
This might result in you leaking money postflop when you flop one-pair type hands against dominating hands.

But thats just a guess.

Can you please expand on this?

I will often call raises with these hands in position for example, what is wrong with this? Do you recommend a re-raise or fold approach? I just can't see the merrits of entering a re-raised pot with AQ, as we may lose a lot when we hit.

I would recommend a re-raise or or fold approach with a heavy emphais on fold. Unless you are playing a very bad player, calling raises preflop in 100bb game with an unpaired hand is just going to cost you money in the long run. You dont hit enough flops hard enough to make up for the horrible waste of 3/4 bb. Calling raises with AK or a pair can be profitable because when you make your hand it tends to dominate your opposition.

If you reraise with AQ, (as you should sometimes) you arent hoping to hit the flop.

I always wondered whether I should be in there with AQ/KQ. I felt that folding the hand preflop was a bit of a waste (prehaps the fault of poker on TV?) As for A9s/J10s, I deffo think I've changed the way I play this allready.

How would you suggest I play AQ/KQ in EP?

In a tough full ring game, I open fold both these hands very often in EP (if they are offsuit).
If the AQ is suited, then I would play it, and mix up between limping and raising.

In a loose full ring game, then I play both hands suited, and I probably play em both offsuit also.

peeko

Thats a good thing to hear. This has been a major leak in my game along with how I was calling raises with these hands. Thanks for the comments, I'll hopefully be able to change my sig this year

Hi HJ, I'm a relative novice, but I get most of the points by you and others here (very helpful, thanks). But I don't get this one - if you reraise with AQ why are you not hoping to hit the flop? Is it because you're hoping the opposition folds thinking you have a big PP?

I'm making improvements to my pre-flop game and getting a bit tighter and refusing to limp like I used to, so now I either raise say 4xBB or fold and I do find it keeps me outta trouble a lot more (i.e. I'm not giving a good price to draws). But I am finding it hard to make money after the flop - if I have say top pair and see a clear oppurtunity for opp to improve (e.g. flush draw) I'll make it pricey for them to stick around. At the .25/.50 cash games on Poker Stars this generally gives a fold, or a good read that he has a stronger hand if he calls. Does that sound like an ok approach?

What I'm really struggling with is what to do when I have a decent hand, say AQo, and I've raised pre-flop in late position, but miss the flop. If the flop is conducive to a big hand (e.g. flush draw), I've no problem getting out. But if it's something like 26T rainbow, what's the best long-term approach here? Depending on my stack and table image I'll generally either make a say 4xBB bet to try take it down uncalled, or fold to any bet.

Also, I'm new to playing cash games - played $5,$10 STTs on Betfair for a while, with a slight profit. I've played a few .25/.50 cash games with 6 players on Poker Stars, and done ok - turned my $50 into about $75 each time. Would Poker Tracker be a worthwhile investment for me? I could join Party Poker to get it free off Poker Promotions (but would still need to pay for the Poker Ace app I think).

Sorry for randomizing and thanks for any info.

I don't play full ring but I think you're playing a little too loose from EP. You're playing the same the amount of hands from UTG and UTG+1 collectively (17% from UTG+1 is definitely high) as you are from the next two positions. Couple that with calling raises with the hands HJ mentioned and I think you should probably aim for an overall VPIP of about 21%. Having said that your pots W@SD from these positions looks fine so I could be completely wrong. I just think its odd that there soesn't seem to much difference in your preflop selection from seats 4-7. You're playing tightest from seat 4 which seems odd.
