pokerstat mid limit results

I have been playing 10-20 thru 20-40 on paradise and have managed to get about 5000 hands into my Pokerstat database. What a great program!! thought I would post some of my statistics on myself and see what comments the forum had about my statistics.


any comments would be appreciated...

Most of these percentages don't mean much except for one. If you are playing 23% of your hands before the flop this is way too loose. This assumes you are playing in an 8-10 handed game and your blinds are not included. If you are playing in games that are sometimes short or you are including your play out of the blinds then it's a different matter and 23% or so sounds about right to me. Then again, if you've only paid $752 in rake this means that you have barely logged any hours so really anything could happen in this short a period of time. The long run in poker is really long so your statistics and stuff may vary greatly over the next 1000-2000 hours, but once again knowing all these percentages probably doesn't matter very much at all.

the 23% DOES include blinds

I replied on the internet forum but there was no responses. Does anyone think folding 52% of your big blinds to a steal raise is "not defending your blinds" enough?


> Fold to "steal" raise when big blind: 52% (31/60)


I know this is a small sample size, but this means you're folding 52% of the time to an open raise from the cutoff or button or small blind, and no one except the raiser has called. What is the general opinion on this?


Also, to reverse the situation, if you know the big blind folds 50%+ of the time to a steal raise, how often should you try to steal? What fold percentage would one need the big blind to have before one starts raising with almost "any 2"? Thanks!

P.S. Congrats on a nice win rate. /images/smile.gif

You are risking 2 bets to win 1.5 bets by open raising on the button, so you will show an immediate profit if both blinds fold to your raise more than 43% of the time. If you are the small blind, you are risking 1.5 bets to win 1.5 bets when you open raise, and will show an immediate profit if the BB folds more than 50% of the time.


So as the BB, you should probably call with your best 50-55% of hands against a button who would open raise with 100% of his hands after everyone has passed, or call with your best 65-70% of hands against a SB who would open raise 100% of his hands after everyone has passed -- you can call a lot more often against the SB than the button because you have position on the SB. The more selective the button or SB are with their preflop raises after everyone has passed (or the better they play after the flop), the more selective you should be in calling their raises from the BB.

Sorry for the stupid question but -- Where to you get the poker stat database and how does it work with Paridise?
