My NL 1/2 stats after 30,000 hands

[dpe8598]

Hello, haven't posted in a little while, because I took a bit of a break from poker a few months ago. Needed some money, so I started playing regularly again. Below are my poker stats for the first 30,000 hands at 1/2 NL. I've been playing poker now for over 2 years and I've always been a winning player. The reason I'm posting my stats is because I respect the advice on this site and I'd appreciate any advice anyone can give.

Please don't respond if you've never at least been a winning player at 50/1 or higher. I appreciate your thoughts, but I'm most interested in help w/ my leaks from people playing similar levels as me and beating the game, preferrably 1/2.

I have a few specific concerns that I think could be leaks in my game.
1. My blind play. I tend to play extremely aggressive from late positions, but just give up my blinds to any kind of raise and frequently folding the SB to no raise at all. I could see this as a leak and I've been experimenting with changing this style. I'm not interested in any kind of blind aggression advice or any kind of blind "defending my blinds" calling station advice. However, I am extremely interested in some advice about some specific situations where I can change it up and be more aggressive here. Overall, I'm happy being weak in the blinds, because I don't particularly like to get into big pots OOP w/ moderate holdings (I make most of my money from the other side of this coin in late position). Nonetheless, I am definitely to predictable here and I do want to change it up.

2. My turn play. I raise a lot from late position and I am pretty strong w/ my continuation bets. This has been profitable for me. However, I believe I might have a leak on my turn play. Specifically, I am concerned about this scenario or ones similar.
-I make a preflop raise from late positionw/ KQ
-I get called by a tight player (I play on pokerstars and honestly half the table is tight, or thinks they are)
-I get top pair on a pretty safe board.
-I bet my usual continuation of about 2/3 pot and villain calls
-I'm worried here, there aren't any draws, so why is this nit calling me.

Now, I'm stuck at the turn and here is my problem. A good portion of the time, villain has a middle PP or even missed the flop w/ AQ or something and I am losing value if I don't keep firing away on the turn.

The other good portion of the time, villain has a monster or at least AK (lets assume I paired my K) and I am spewing chips on the turn and possibly getting called down.

I have errored towards checking turn and calling or raising river. However, I've been up against enough idiots lately calling flop bets w/ nothing that I am concerned that I am not getting value in this situation.

****Anyway, those are my biggest concerns right now and I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

you are running 3.44ptbbs/100. I think theres little to say about your game for the moment as you are winning and seem to be doing nicely.

On a personal note i raise a larger percentage of hands i play. At 17/6 you are a little predictable, but at 200nl you will still be a winner imo. FWIW, i play something like 20/10.
I have only two things to say on blind play. Reraise holdings that are going to be well ahead of a buttons range if facing a raise. I tend to figure in AQ+ at least along with 88+ but also KQ/AJ/ATs at times as well.
I also raise these hands in the sb a lot in blind battles, providing i dont have good opponents with position on me, then ill limp and take a pot control line with such pots.
I tend to play either hands with good implied odds 87s for example, or hands that will make good tp type hands but are still mediocre like QTs and play then quite fast from the blinds.
I only play hands like t9o 87o when i get a few people in the pot before hand, so your sb vpip is very high in my opinion, but thats personal taste.
fwiw, i like to have respect from the blinds when i bet out to steal small pots and not face a lot of positional raises because my betting range in the blinds is a little loose along with my vpip.
But to say again, i dont see much wrong here, you are a steady winner and should be moving up as appropriate.

Edit: I think that if you are worried about raising in lp and getting called on blank boards then checking the flop with a made hand should encourage action from worse hands and allow you to practice pot control better. Sure, you need to read hands goot and it makes you trickier to play/read but it will aid as a mix up tactic for when you have KQ on Qxx.

You'll lose value if you bet. Check turn and let him bluff the river or value bet if checked too. Added bonus is that middle PP usually fold the turn but call a river bet.

I like your reraise range fom te blinds and this is very similar to what I've been exprimenting with lately. I will probably continue to narrow my limping hands in these psitions and open up my raising hands.

I'm not worried about being pedictable w/ 6 percent pfr primarily for 2 reasons. 1. my pfr in the last 3 position is all above 10 percent and 2 my stats my are probably swayed a bit conservatily due to those times that I play retarded tight while working on a project or something. I probablý don't have as sweet of a win rate during those times, but I'm sure I still have EV, which is why I do it.

I will generally check the turn on most boards. It prevents oop from C/R if they have a monster and it induces river bluffs. If I hit top pair I will usually check turn then call any reasonable river maybe up to the pot. Most Stars nits will C/R the turn with their sets very transparent, its like none of them ever heard of raising the flop.

This is precisely the reason that I check the turn. There are basically 2 lines on stars for playing a set. The most prominant is the 1st you mentioned. The second most common is a min-reraise on flop and a pot sized bet on turn.

Nonetheless, I brought this up, because I've been contemplating a new line. I have a couple of ideas, but I wanted everyone elses input. Sounds like most people play this situation just like me.

you forgot to add they also still pay off the implied odds of calling the turn raise with a flush draw and rivering it after you raised preflop in mp with 87s and not AA.
