Because I play mainly at Pacific, I can't use PokerTracker to analyze my hand selection. So, I decided to keep a summary during one session to see if I'm holding to my "starting hand" guidelines. Turns out I limp too often with questionable hands. At the time that I do it, I'm sure I make some justification based on the table conditions, but it's still an eye-opener to see it in summary form. To anyone who doesn't/can't use PokerTracker, I recommend you do this for at least one 2-hour session. It was very helpful to see that I'm more loose than I thought.
Please take a look at the hands I limped and suggest ones I should be dumping. Are there any that you would raise?
The table was Pacific $1/2, and it started out tight-passive with only 2 to 3 players (out of 10) seeing the flop and almost no PF raises. Around the half-way mark the table became much looser as players came and went. FWIW, I finished the session on the plus side, making 3.4bb/hr.
Two hands I would like to comment on: I limped with 75s and 94s because 4 players limped before me and there was almost no PF raising at the table. Had there been fewer limpers, or a lot of PF raising, I would have mucked them. Is this a legitimate justification, or am I making excuses to play junk? (ps. folded both when I didn't hit the 4-flush on the flop)
Final comment: This was a really weird session where I got very few suited cards.
Thanks for any and all comments
