OPERATION: 600 in 60****COMPLETED IN 24 DAYS

I want to be playing 1/2 limit in a couple months, so I need a BR of 600 in 60 days. Thats my plan.

Right now I am building my BR and gaining lots of experience my Bonus whoring for jeff. In my first 477 hands, here are my stats:

VPIP: 21.89
PFR: 8.60

Agression -
oFlop: 2.59
oTurn:1.50
oRover: 1.71
Total: 1.96

Coldcalls: 0
Went to SD: 32.58
W$SD: 30.23
BB/100: -16.50 (ouch)
Total BB: -77 (ouuch)

Of course there must be leaks, but I do think I have not gotten the best of cards (it is not even 500 hands). I think I need to continue getting about the same numbers just with more wins at showdown and a positive BB/100.

Yup

I'll stop spamming your operation now. Laughing

Is 15% too low? I've been targeting 17-18%, but perhaps I'm not calibrated properly...

Must get tighter, must get tighter.

I'm at ~16.5 for the last several days (500 hands or so), so I'm getting better. I'm trying to get my overall down from something horrible like 24%. I need a lot more hands of tight play to make up for how loose I was in the beginning (I love how PokerTraker can track your learning curve, too!).

i dont think mine is too high considering the limit. i get enough multiway pots where i think can call marginal hands.

Some hints for you to start tightening up more:

Stop playing Qxs. Dont play this hand unless all 10 players are in the flop and you are on the button. Still call if on SB though, as per usual. These suited hands will drain a lot of money out of you.

Stop playing your small PP (22-66) from Early Position, its still okay to call with them from MP though. Don't play these hands from LP if no one else is in the pot. If you are the CO or the button, you can try to blind steal, but otherwise fold. You want a lot of players to see the flop so when you actually do hit your set, you can build the pot up quite nicely. These are actually the easiest to play. Stop check/calling down to the river with these also in multiway pots. Chances are, if there is 1 bettor and 1 caller, one of them usually has a higher pair than you; it is not worth the extra bet, as the pot is usually small in this case.

Stop playing weak broadway cards like KTo from early position. I saw you raise with KTo from middle position, thats VERY aggressive, in a loose game, just call. KTo and QJo are very easily dominated and if you play these hands from EP and a person on your left raises you, theres a chance you are already dominated. You'll get a feel when you should play these hands the more you play them.

Make sure you connected cards are suited as well, before you play them.

up to the minute stats! :
