That's a really sick hand Jager, especially against Fgators. You have more balls than I. I think I'm too much of a PF nit. I hate being AI with anything but AA...I cringe otherwise ;p

I felt like taking this back to the beginning:

What I feel are my current strengths and weaknesses:

Strength: Hand reading. I can usually put most of the regulars on very narrow ranges.

Weakness: Looking people up. I will too frequently look people up just to see if I'm right. Not a lot but enough that it is hurting my winrate.
What's interesting is that since you've played so many hands, now some of these calls have become EV+ to confirm your hand reading skills. But now you have played such a crapload of hands I don't see the point anymore in calling for information.


Strength: Preflop play. I got a little carried away at 2/4, but I feel that I have a strong preflop game.

Weakness: My Image. Not factoring in my image and how people view me especially the HUD bots.
What do you mean by carried away at 2/4?

On image, I don't think the hud bot stats matter as much as what you've done at the table -- i.e. frequency of 3/4 bets, actual hands you have shown down, and if you have been caught bluffing. Only really the extreme edges of the hud really give much info, i.e. the 13/12 and 48/15 type guys.


Weakness: Pot odds. Eventhough I have a real strong knowledge, I still am not always able to make the most profitable play, based on the odds.
In what regard? You should check your HH's and diagnose this specifically. Are your deficiencies in raising to give bad odds for draws, or calling with bad odds to hit draws/sets? Overvaluing or undervaluing implied odds?



Weakness: Bad players. I really struggle winning from the bad players.
This is strange. How do you play bad players? What exactly is the problem? Also, are they bad full stacks or bad short stacks? I love both, but they each have to be played differently. Bad shorties I make some thin calls but I tighten my range so when I do play with them I usually stack them. Vs bad full stacks I like to play implied odds hands like sc's.

I win at least 40% of my money from bad players. One thing not to do is try to 'outplay' them or scare them into folding, as often they don't see the same situations as everyone else and call anyways. Just play them very ABC. Sometimes I prefer raising them less PF unless I have a very strong hand, just so I can see a cheap flop and outplay them on the flop.
