    Default Help me fill my many leaks!

    Hows my blue line? my red line is really bad eh?



    Any stats really stand out as horrible?
    Where should my win $ at showdown with 1 pair be? 42% seems really bad

    why do all the stats posted in the beginners circle look the same? there is a search function. I could probably just copy and paste advice from a million other threads, but here goes anyway.

    ignore the red line at full nit

    ok, you're running 17-9. Pre-flop you should raise more or fold less. Don't go crazy about it though, 16-11 can win good at most stakes - although people will hate you for it.... you can steal a little more. You should post your c-bet stats and dump AF from your reports unless you can explain why it is useful.

    I'm ignoring the position 7, and confused about position "1" in the middle there, so ignoring that too.

    UTG, Open limp less and raise more - I really like opening 77+/AQs+ here and dumping the rest as a default approach, add or vary as you feel shania desires (remembering that, at micros, she mostly wants the same old tried and true!). Limp the low pockets if you feel that you must.

    UTG + 1. Ok, again, stop with the open limping and limping behind

    MP, raise behind limpers.

    CO. Looks fine.
    Button. Raise more, call less.

    sb, probably fine
    bb, too nitty. I bet you're callling vs steals and getting lost post flop. Write down all of your thoughts on playing the bb vs a steal, do some searching through old FTR threads, post your notes here, get a discussion thread going.

    Hi daven,

    I appreciate your reply.. I apologize for not using the search function I didnt realize how common it is for donks to have similar stats I thought I was uniquely donkish hahaha

    I am new to stats, so I dont know why I put AF there, I thought it was a useful stat.

    My cbet stat is 70%

    I know that having a negative red line as a nit is standard.. but do you think mine is too negative? 9 buyins after 8k hands? Altho I imagine making these suggested adjustments will help a lot.

    I've played about the same number of hands as you have on this chart, and the one thing that has made a difference for both my lines is raising a bit more aggressively on the hands I play. This is good for both lines like so. By aggressively I don't mean raising at every street, because I still want the information to be had by checking depending on context and position, but simply raising with higher values.

    Here's what I've seen.

    1) On many hands people fold rather than call. At first I was concerned because in theory I might be losing money here. When I have the nut, I'd rather hook them all the way to showdown. Nonetheless, this has been good for my red line, keeping it shallower.

    2) On the hands people call (and that I win), I win more, leading to a steeper blue line.

    I'm still a complete donk myself, so I don't submit this as advice to you walker, but rather as an idea for further consideration and comment by the experienced.

    One thing that is striking (and different from the usual stats posts) is that you are losing money on your three of a kind hands and not making that much on your straights. You are folding both these types of hands about 1 time in 5 on the river. That may be contributing to your red line.

    Of course, at 10NL people love to play any 2 sooted and chase. If Mr Tight Passive is check calling along and then the third heart hits on the river and he suddenly goes AI, you may be making wise folds. But if I were you I would reveiew some of these hands and perhaps post a couple to see if you are making mistakes.

    I am not sure about the straights, but the 3 of a kind is skewed by 4 or 5 set over set hands where I lose my stack.

    I will however review the hands and look for strange river folds.

    just giving away money from the BB, what's goin on there???
    You should filter that other game out, although it's only 117 hands, and the position stats should be sorted by position, ...confusing.
