My stats, 25K hands

[Marquis]

I've never posted my stats before. Like most who are new to Poker Tracker, I had a burning desire to post my stats after 1K and 2K and 5K hands, but I resisted. When I got to 10K I didn't really care about posting my stats anymore because I felt I had a pretty good idea about where I was as a player. After 25K hands, I feel like I still make many of the same postflop mistakes I did after 10K hands, but am better at recognizing preflop situations where I can be more aggressive in late position. My pf raise % hasn't changed much though, probably because at the same time I became more aggressive in late position I became less aggrerssive early, folding ATo and KJo in situations where I used to bring them in for a raise.

All of these stats are from .5/1. 95% were played at Party, the rest at Paradise.

VPIP: 18.47%
VPIP SB: 33.14%
Folded SB to steal: 82.69%
Folded BB to steal: 72.22%

Won $ WSF: 29.31%
BB/100: 6.73

5 .14, 8.66%
6 .00, 9.26%
7 .05, 9.45%
BB -.04, 6.32%
SB -.02, 7.26%

If anyone has any recommendations to where I should go from here, I'd appreciate it. I'm not really thrilled about moving to 1/2 full but 1/2 6-max interests me. I'm actually considering trying the $25 NL now that they've changed the blind structure. 2/4 is where I think I wanna be eventually.

You're ready for 1/2. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Edit: And definitely play some 1/2 full if you plan on moving to 2/4 full. Even if it's only 10-15K hands, it will teach you a lot about playing in a tighter (weak-tight, but still tighter) game.

Impressive BB/100 hands, staying at .50/1 is now a bit pointless. I'd move up for sure.

What kinds of mistakes? You should contribute to other peoples' threads & maybe post some hands to figure this out.

Your stats look pretty good. If there are any areas that are off, they are only off by a little. You might fold a little too much at the end. You might give up your blinds a little too much. You might steal more. Again, any changes in these areas should be incremental.

If you want to move to 1/2 6m, then by all means do so. The biggest variable in answering the question "should I move up, and to where?" is your own mindset. If you think you're ready, then you probably are.

dude where ever you go, leave .5/1.

if you want to play 2/4 limit, I suggest both 1/2 full and 1/2 6 max limit. here's a post by ajax detailing why to play each.

I think I call down too much when faced with marginal turn decisions. I am checkraised, I hold top pair. I have trouble with that.

I am working on defending and stealing more than anything else. Once in a while i do the stealing part very poorly, but form the most part it's been a +EV experiment.

I need to jump in. Should I be mining before I do?

This is the only thing that stood out to me. You could probably defend more, but you're likely not missing out on much.

From what I've seen so far the 1/2 5m games at Paradise are easy pickins, alot more passive than Party 1/2 6m- limited sample though.

I suppose as a responsible 2+2er, I'm supposed to tell you to mine for a month before sitting down.

But I didn't. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I just jumped right in.

I would suggest reading the HUSH forum. A lot. Before jumping in. And find a good starting hands chart for SH.

[Eyeback]

sorry but I'm new. What exactly does mining mean?

Getting stats on most of the party regulars, so every table you sit at you have stats on all the fish.

Mining is just observing tables on mass for a little while till you've got everyones play down pat and ready to use at a later date.

I think he'll be fine in 1/2 with datamining as he goes along.

the only adjustment needed will be to the larger swings

That's probably the biggest reason why I haven't played the 6-max game yet. At .5/1, I've had a 100BB downswing, an 80BB downswing, etc. I'm not sure how I'll handle a 150BB downswing at double the stakes, especially if I start out with it.

If you normally 4-table, try start out with only 2 tables. Play atleast 1K hands this way, and then add more tables as you feel comfortable.

more tables = more mistakes
more tables = higher hourly frequency of mistakes

So your variance should be lower playing less tables in the beginning, since you will inevitably make more mistakes at the new limit in the beginning.
