Lurked here for a while and never really piped up because I was making about 8.5BB/100 on the 25NL boards. And sadly my first time posting here was responding to someone who took a mistake way out of proportion. So i'd like a new start, and if anybody could help me, I'd be grateful.
So I recently moved from 25NL, where i was very successful, to 1/2. I'm trying to train myself and move up in the limits, with a goal of about 5/10 in 1 or 2 years.
I've got the bankroll to manage the swings and all, but after 2908 hands, my total profit is -(3.95). Back in the day I would play .5/1 and make about 4BB/hr, and dont recall ever going 3k hands without anything to show for it.
At this point i dont know whether my play is bad, or if i've been getting cold cards. Do people go through 3000 hand dry streaks? Or does such a dry spell suggest my play is flawed? I've read multiple poker books including zen, supersystem, low limit hold'em, and recently Small Stakes Hold'em. I've been applying the principles of Small Stakes Hold'em to my game in 1/2.
I'll post my stats for analyzation.
VP$IP - 16.19
Folded SB to steal - 100
Folded BB to steal - 35
Saw flop all hands - 22.64 (i think this is high, but it is also including my play before i got small stakes hold'em i'm down to about 17 now)
Aggression Factor - Flop(1.29), Turn(1.84), River(1.94)
I think these are also low, But now that i've read SSH, I've been pushing these numbers up to about 3 or 4
As for whether or not I've just had a dry run, I'm still partially leaning toward yes.
Some hand stats on what should be the biggies(from a 3k sample)
AA - 8 times - Net 26.50 - BB/Hand 2.28
KK - 4 times - Net (1.50)- BB/Hand (0.19)
QQ - 15 times - Net 14.50 - BB/Hand .48
JJ - 11 times - Net 56.12 - BB/Hand 2.55 (HIGH)
AKs - 9 times - Net 5.75 - BB/Hand .32
AKo - 26 times - Net 14.50 - BB/Hand .28
I think the only number that isnt low here is JJ, and its so high because i won a 52$ pot with a gutshot to broadway (had the odds, dont worry)
If anybody has advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
