i'll get into a little more detail later, but i thought it was a neat concept, too.

the reason for the blinds, however, is because you look at your "profitable range" vs. everything. PT's default on the General tab shows everything. then, your "filter" cuts it down. those numbers will vary a bit, even if you only play inside your "profitable range" because of the blinds. hope i explained that right.

i have never been able to find the article again, so i am mostly going by memory. i think it was at bet-the-pot.com...not to refer away.

i like your idea of really breaking it down even further, but at the microstakes, we shouldnt need to go that far, other than just being dorks. which i'm fine with, btw...lol.

one more tidbit...you may play AK, AQ, AJ, A9, A8 all profitably, for example, but not AT. that doesnt mean you play A8, but not AT. you would include AT in your range, too. same for pp's...you play 66-AA well, but not 88 and JJ. dont take them out.

you are looking for "ranges." and you cut them off when you consistently lose for a couple of holdings in a row. not one random loser.

i'll walk some of us through how to set this up when i get some more time here in the near future...or at least how i set up mine.

once i get you to that point, i think we can look at why the numbers dont match up, and maybe figure out where i am missing something. logically, it makes sense. i dont know why i am getting logical results.

in the meantime, look for that article, and i will, too. it will certainly help.

ps, any mods have a problem with me posting the article, if i can find it, let me know. the last thing i want to do is redirect traffic off the site.
