17K stats check up... jesus experiment...

[xX zorrito Xx]

please review my micro stats below... i'm doing my own jesus experiment... basically i don't ever put more than 5% of my roll in play at a given table... if my stack ever represents 10% or more of my roll at a table then i leave and sit somewhere else for a lesser amount...

i deposited 50 bucks and started playing 0.01/0.02 NLHE until just recently that i moved up to 0.02/0.05 NLHE when my roll reached $115









i found that one of the leaks i had was that i was check/folding to a big bet on the river when a draw hit a lot hence the negative slope on the graph... i've been working on that and it seems to be stabilizing now cause i noticed i've been losing out on a lot of money...

the level of play seems pretty standard at these stakes so far and i do a lot of multi-tabling...

please share comments and constructive criticism

In general, I would suggest a combination of cutting out some of the worst hands you call raises with and opening up in the cutoff and button when you're folded to. You could probably stand to cut back on some of the hands you're calling raises with in the SB as well.

When I mean cutting back on calling preflop in certain spots, I mean shaving off the worst X% of the time you do it. Suppose for example you like to call raises in the SB with suited 2-gappers. You could cut back a bit by only calling the raise if someone else has already called it as well giving you better implied odds.

The reason I suggest making this type of gradual change to your game is that the worst of these preflop calls are either break even or marginally +EV because of the level you're playing at. As you move up, they will slide into to the marginally -EV range since people won't play as bad, and the worst of them will become considerably -EV.

The main adjustment I think you should make along with calling raises preflop a bit less is to steal more in late position when you're folded to. The range I suggest to players who want to start opening up is the following: any suited ace, any two cards 9 or higher, any pocket pair, any suited connector 54s or higher, and any suited 1-gapper 64s or higher. I explain why stealing blinds is so profitable in more depth in the thread http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...01-t66573.html which is geared towards full ring players like yourself.

As far as what to look at in terms of your stats on these two items, your VP$IP/PFR looks like 17/9 with an attempt to steal of 20%. If you could inch that closer to something like 16/12 with an attempt to steal of 30%, it would pay dividends on your win-rate.

Feel free to join us in IRC to talk about poker. There is a sticky in the community forum that shows how to get in there if you don't know already. I even have a video showing how to connect. In any case, keep at it, and good luck.

I run 14/10 attempt to steal about one third of the time at NL10; sometimes I raise ATC against tight blinds. But I only play SCs in late position.
