My first MTT final table. Are stats okay?

AdMMM

I mostly stick to cash games but have been trying out cheap tournaments lately as they seem to be more lucrative than the big grind that is cash play. I made the final table in a small MTT today (and went on to win it) and I was just wondering how my stats fare and if they are what I should be aiming for or was I too aggressive.


This is just a simple screenshot taken within iPoker but I can provide PokerTracker stats as well if you'd think they'd help.

RoundTower

well they are probably better than "flops seen 70% call 40% no fold 50%" but other than that it's hard to make anything from this.

When playing the only one I look at is percentage of flops seen. For me overall it seems to average between (15-25). However in terms of deciphering the information I would be interested to hear how this can be used as a mathematical aid to spot weaknesses etc.

RoundTower

also since you won the tournament, you were most likely running pretty hot, so these stats will make you appear looser than you normally play, except for %showdowns won where you win more than usual.

In looking at that again I don't know how I got away with winning 21% of all hands dealt. I was raising with practically ATC whenever there was 1-2 limpers and often showed any pocket pair that didn't get any action, which I'm hoping contributed to my image of either a TAG or a jambag.

In reality I didn't get that fantastic a run of cards, in fact I had my aces cracked by a flopped set of kings after villian got it all in pf. I think it was just my reckless aggression and tight image that managed to win me the tournament (and a little bit of luck in one or two 70-30 situations).

Also, on the bubble (whilst 2nd in chips) I looked down at 99 on the button, everyone folds to the chipleader in LP who moves allin. I fold like a bitch and he shows AQo. Can I (or should I) ever find a call here and risk 100% of my chips when I reckon I'm at best a 55% favourite?

I cant fault the laydown. Sometimes at these stages you're happy with a race and other times not. Especially if you think AT BEST it is a race.
Having said that I was p1ssed off with myself for not laying down QQ pre-flop to an ALL-IN. He had AA. If I had more chips I could have got away from it if that makes sense.
In this situtation if you had less chips I bet you would have called.

We'd need to know stacks/blind sizes, but laying down 99 here is generally okay, unless the CL is pushing a lot of hands.

Regarding your original question, final tables are too unique/situational to get much, if any, useful information from stats.

Actually I wasn't on the button, I was in the BB and CL pushed on the button for 93,000 with the blinds at 2,000/4,000 and me placing 2nd in chips with 70,000.

The CL had been pretty quiet for the last orbit or two, calling the BB often enough and folding to any raise. 4 orbits prior to this hand he went all in with AJ against KK and hit trips on the river and that's the only memorable hand I could recall at the time.
