 PT + FTR = Profit
I bought Poker Tracker early winter and stopped using it in the spring because (I thought) I was losing money due to overvaluing the stats. I ended up calling people just because they had a fish or a taz icon. The real problem is I sucked. I started using it again in late August after I committed myself to getting better. It has made a huge difference. The biggest difference is multi-tabling. I only play 2 at a time right now, but I'm always up on one table mininum. So, I don't sit there for hours with one losing or even table. It has cut down on the variance and I'm becoming steadily profitable. A bad day is down a small percent, whereas a good day is up a large percent. I go over hands and stats regularly to find leaks. I was under the impression that Axs was a great hand for me. Poker Tracker showed that I was bascially even. So, I only play it on the button or cutoff now. Little things add up, especially if your perception differs from the facts.
This recent turnaround is due to PT and of course FTR. If somebody with low VPIP enters a hand, I know to watch them. I'm actually happy folding a great preflop hand that runs into a scary flop with betting. I know to let the bluffing fish take the small pot, knowing it will come back to me later. If somebody sucks out on me when I have AA/KK/QQ, I don't let it affect the next hand.
Two great tools - PT and FTR. Use them.
BTW, when aokrongly writes a book - buy it. He's already given me more than the price of any book. His advice has changed the way I approach poker and other things in life.
