I recently bought poker tracker and have imported all the hand histories on my harddrive from party poker into it.
Pretty funny stuff going on:
At 50 NL I have 1 hand played and I make 1992.50 BB/100 hands. This was one time when I was drunk and wnated to play some poker so I bought in and posted and got dealt AA and was all in preflop against someone else and my AA held up and I doubled up and left.
Limit holdem:
1/2: 588 hands played and I am a 4.5 BB/100 hands loser.
2/4: 5033 hands played and I am a 1.25 BB/100 hands winner.
3/6: 538 hands played and I am a 9.97 BB/100 hands winner.
5/10: 133 hands played and I am a 4.62 BB/100 hands winner.
5/10 6 max: 61 hands played and I am a 42.46 BB.100 hands winner.
Any idea on what is going on. I realize I dont have a large enough sample space for 3/6 and 5/10. But I am a winner from what I can tell everytime I play it and I am a lot more comfortable at at these tables than I am at 2/4 or 1/2 where I find myself crossing my fingers hoping top two pair or set holds up against all sorts of straights and flushes.
Why can't I "crush" the 2/4 game. Hell, I can't even beat the 1/2 games. I am sure there is some gaping hole in my game that somehow disapears or becomes irrelevant the moment I step up to 3/6.
I think part of it maybe that I play sorta tight preflop at 2/4 but as soon as the flop comes out I play like the LAGiest fishiest maniacest bad player out there, thinking I can "outplay" the other players or maybe that I justify this type of behavior with "hey the other people are doing it so why cant I?" I dunno. I also notice the tendency to try to bulldoze my way thruogh the pot wiht unimproved big cards at 2/4. Whatever. Just thinking out loud.
If anyone has similar results going on, I'd be interested in hearing what you guys think is going on or if any one has any input that would be cool. Thanks.
