I have no idea where you guys play. Because I'm 7k hands deep at 2nl right now in the last 21 days, and I haven't seen a single openshove on the flop that was a draw. Hell I think I've seen like 5 total open shoves, and only 2 of those got called, and the open shover was a nut hand. The caller was a draw or retarded.Quote:

This year has been incredibly profitable for me. I'm learning lots of important lessons ("Don't raise out of position!") and tightening up my range.
To give you some stats:
Number of sessions: 13
Number of hands: 3648
Hours played: 11.04
Profit: $33.99
46 bb/100
15.3/7.4/1.6 are my stats so far.
Multitabling comfortably with 9-10 per session
The most important change in my stats? I now play solely full-ring tables. NO MORE 6-MAX.

Without notes on the villain, I can't tell you whether this is a good call or not. The problem is that I'm positive if you called every shove for 16.5x the pot with 2 pair, on a long enough time line it will be a loser for sure.
i have to agree with d0zer = wtf?
nh ma'am. Time for a prop bet with drew on who makes it to 25-50 first?Quote:

Andrew and Rosa discussing the hand immediately following:
Rosa: "What the fuck? Does she know anything about the term "odds"? It's called four outs, bitch."
Andrew: (LOLing on couch)
Just poppin' in with some stats. I'll get around to posting hands sometime. I've been playing TONS of sessions. And I mean -tons- considering that poker is a 'hobby' of mine that I do outside of 40-hour work weeks (+ commutes) and my evening recreational activities/hobbies/classes/etc.
So far this month, I've put in over 40 hours, however, I only have stats for 36 of those hours since the other 4 were on my laptop and the hand histories were not saved/analyzed/etc.
Here are current stats:
Number of sessions: 43
Number of hands: 14634
Hours played: 36.04
Profit: $61.51
12.5 bb/100
18.7/9.5/3.0
Still multitabling comfortably with 9-10 per session
A number of sessions with -$2 or -$4, but I'm trying not to get tilted. I've set a stop-loss of two buy-ins, so that's when I know my losses will start affecting my game play. I have the lofty goal of trying to hit $100 by the end of this month, but I'm not convinced it's going to happen.
Also, I got loads more aggressive in the last few weeks. XD
lol accountaments.
does she post on yer facebook also drew?

My bankroll is comfortably in the high $150s now which means I'm beginning to contemplate moving to 5 NL. I have learned a lot (especially in regards to aggression and position) and I've set a very comfortable betting pattern and range analysis. I'm looking at other people's stats quite frequently and thinking about their betting, raising and three-betting stats. It makes it easier to identify fish.
I won two tournaments recently (both with four players) and I'm feeling more confident about my tournament skills. Sometimes I have difficulty adapting my cash game play into tournament play, but I try to do the same hand analysis on both mine and my opponents' hands.
I'm going to make it a priority to post more hands in the upcoming months. I'm really excited to try 5 NL in April if my bankroll allows for it. I'm a little intimidated by the jump in pots and bets (and skill?), but I'm excited to collect WAY more VPP than I do at the moment. It takes forever to get my $10 bonus!
Some stats for 2011:
Number of sessions: 135
Number of hands: 49,761
Hours played: 107.28
Profit: $92.75 (not incl. tourney wins)
9.3 bb/100
18.3/7.7/3.2
Multitabling comfortably with 10-12 per session
Until next time, friends!
You need to reduce the gap between ur vpip and pfr%.
Ideally the ratio should be at around 80%.
Either stop limping/calling so much pre. do this by either just folding, or raising instead.
if your vpip is 18, your pfr should be around 16. But something like 12/10, would probably be good as you seem to be fairly tight as far a raising goes - you're at 7% now.
Thank you for the advice about reducing my gap between those two stats. I started deciding, "Either I like this hand enough to raise it or I'm going to fold it. Stop limping in and calling with half-ass hands." It made a big difference to my game and I've had numerous profitable sessions.
I now have $195 in my bankroll and my eyes are set on starting 5 NL in the near future. Any tips on the biggest adjustments I'll have to make to my game? I generally anticipate people to play tighter and more aggressively at 5 NL, but other than that... I'm not sure. Less bluffing? More c-betting?
Do nothing, buy in at $5. It's the same game
Like jyms wrote, it's the same game. Don't change a thing and you should be at 10nl in no time.

Good job. I guess it's been a long time since I stopped in. I admire your patients and bankroll management skillz!Quote:

Don't do this when you make your move up. Start off EXACTLY like you did at 2nl which I am assuming was playing a single table until you were comfortable, then you added a table. Rinse and repeat. Well do exactly that once you move up and boom success just like before!Quote:
