TerryToma's first 11.5k checkup

Here's my stats since joining ftr. I play mainly 25NL/PL at pokerroom, some pokerstars. I did mix in a bit of shortstack 50NL 5max (15$ buyin). Overall stats, worst hands thrown in there along with position stats. Please critique. (Hopefully the images work).

good:

- your killing the game
- your position chart is perfect

bad:

- issues with ak/kq/at/aq [maybe your continuation betting when you shouldnt or have trouble folding tptk]

- aggression is low. try betting your drawing hands when appropriate and be aggressive heads up. from what it looks like your getting payed off A LOT with your good hands. once you start moving up levels people arent going to pay you off as much because as soon as they see you betting alarm bells will go off. your calling twice as much as your betting [not good]. i think you should be betting% should be twice as much as your calling %

i think you are too loose

oh ok :D

You are doing great.

Your stats at 25PL are almost identical to mine. AK and AQ should
be profitable though. Maybe u would want to examine your play
with them.

Thanks. I guess I just take my AKo too far, or let it go too easily to resistance. Same with AQo. I also dont tend to re-raise very much pf with these hands.

Today I listened to Renton's advice and tightened up. I dropped my stats to 20/10 today over 1.5k hands.. I really rely on my sets. When Im 25%, that extra 5% is mainly made up of SCs & Axs. Those give me a lot more 2 pair/trips and flushdraws. It definitely makes my game a lot easier, but not sure what it does to the profitability, at least at the level.

Im going to give 20/10 a full week, though. Today I just got my sets sucked out on too much, or hit my set when someone hit their flush/str8. Theres 3 buyins. I also paid off someones flush on the river when I hat nut str8 since flop (pot limit so I couldnt AI earlier). Those were the big hands of the day.

Thanks for the comments, keep them coming! I am implementing all of them, as I know I can improve.

Funny thing, I got AA 12 times today (out of 1500 hands). Pretty crazy.
