elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point

Well, its taken me a long while but I've finally done it, please disect:

1/2 LHE

Hands:10108
VP$IP: 14.08
W$WSF: 31.81

SD% = 32.85
W$SD = 56.82
PFR = 7.0
Total Won = 259 BB
BB/100 = 2.57

Agg Factor:
Flop: 3.66
Turn: 2.6
River: 1.76

Total Agg: 2.41

Not too shabby, my BB totals have really dropped since i've run into the 1/2 tables at Stars, Interpoker, and absolute. At Party and pokerroom i'm a good 4.17/100 through over 5000 hands.

I'm starting to get up to the 2/4 level, i'm getting my feet wet at Pacific and I seem to do okay at it. I have the BR but i dont think my play is up there yet.

EDIT: Thought I would include my Cold-Calling Numbers
For the 10108 Hands, I've Cold-Called 28 Times while only winning of 5 those hands.

However, a more relevant number, post sklansky, the number of Cold Calls since November 1st, is only 6 in 7712 Hands. I've won 1 of those cold-calls and I'm relatively break-even in those 6 cold-calls since Novemeber started.

My Cold Calls so far this month:

KQs -1
KQo -1
KTs -2
QJs -1
33 -1

I shouldn't have cold-called that 33 for sure, i think I wasnt paying attention to the raise and I just hit the call button. Funning thing is if I had stayed in the hand i would have rivered a three

I'll have you know the last time i cold-called a hand was November 11th.

In loose games, Sklansky recommends Cold-Calling a lot more hands than I actually do, which I dont really understand.

good job! i'd like to catch up with my sample size but skool is kicking me in the ass right now :P

perhaps the 14% VPIP is a BIT too tight? but this is coming from a borderline tight-loose player :P

in fact i haven't played full tables for a long time since i converted to 6 max. so naturally i'm a lot looser. we need to hit up absolute more often :P

anywho, good luck at 2/4 and your next 10k hands.

You have to admit they do offer a lot in bonus money.

We should create our Absolute Conspiracy page, or at least continue one :P

I guess I am in the minority. But I have never had a problem with Absolute. They have been slow at times, but no slower than other poker sites have been at times.

That night I joined you at the 6-max I never suffered 1 truely bad beat. I gave jeff a spanking, but I had him beat on every street. And I lost some hands, but they were standard hands. I didn't even notice Hyper of Jeff suffer any truely bad beats.

I started the round with about $40, and after some ups and some downs, I ended at about $30. Nothing terrible happened. No one hit a 2 outer on the river to beat me. But I did get beaten. It was a mix of playing into good hands, chasing and trying to push people around.

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

Well, shit, you only had AA and flopped Trips. My mom could have played that the same and beat me.

Once i had 1 pair i was so short stacked at the time I made a run for it.

Really? Pairs and big suited broadways (QTs is cutting it thin.) Maybe suied Aces and connectors in position after a bunch of other cold calls. The KQo cold call was probably a mistake.

Also, the only game that plays SSH "loose" is maybe a really good Party .5/1 table. I've only seen SSH "loose" tables at 2/4 a couple times and they tightened back up in a couple orbits as the bad players busted and the fishermen (multi-table rocks) took their place.

Many 1/2 - 3/6 online tables worth playing look something like this:
1 LAgg
1 SLAgg
2 LooP
2 SLooPs
2 Rocks
1 TAgg

give or take, although I've seen a fair share with 1-3 "live ones" and the rest of the table is a mix of Rocks and TAgg/sTAggs.
