View Full Version : Problems in the blinds

I know that it is expected to have your blinds be negative bb / hr, but I'm wondering how bad I really am. Over my past 8,000 hands my stats are as follows in the blinds (these are all PP 15/30, so I'm in with a lot of $5 small blind completions):

BB: Vol Pot = 26.33, Win % = 18%, BB won / hand = -.24
SB: Vol Pot = 42.32, Win % = 13%, BB won / hand = -.24

My Vol Pot % from all positions is 18.21%.

Over these 8,000 hands, I am playing at a rate of 1.18 BB / hr (1.61 True Rate with multi-tables). I feel like I was a better blind player when I first started...now I have lost all confidence.

Are these numbers way out of line, or is this to be expected? I am considering becoming extremely tight in the blinds, and only playing hands that I would play UTG, unless there is no raise. I feel like I would be better off letting my blinds be stolen every time than getting involved. As I look at the numbers, maybe I am just playing WAY too loose here, and need to tighten up.

Any thoughts?

SB - [ QUOTE ]
BB: Vol Pot = 26.33, Win % = 18%, BB won / hand = -.24
SB: Vol Pot = 42.32, Win % = 13%, BB won / hand = -.24

[/ QUOTE ]

my #s:

BB: Vol Pot = 25.54, Win % = 16.5%, BB won / hand = -.22
SB: Vol Pot = 42.47, Win % = 14.07%, BB won / hand = -.12

Looks like the win rate difference could be better cards for me, and also possibly getting away from hands after the flop a bit better. But I still feel my blind stats are weak and would like to hear from other posters...

This is for a little over 2300 hands in each spot.

additionally,

BB: WtSD - 25.5% W$SD: 56% PFR: 5.75%
SB: WtSD - 29% W$SD: 56.7% PFR: 8.8% Raise First in: 3.7%

I fold my BB to steals: 56% SB: 76%
Fold BB to steal HU: 46% ( I think this number is too high)

thoughts?

I have been thinking about my play in the blinds also.
These are for around 10K hands at 1/2 Party, so take it for what it's worth:

Big Blind:
VP$IP = 7.94
Win% = 14.77
W$WSF% = 20.68
W$atSD = 54.79
BBwon/hand = -0.17

Small Blind:
VP$IP = 29.11
Win% = 7.5
W$WSF% = 25.50
W$atSD = 53.16
BBwon/hand = -0.14

VP$IP from all positions: 18.80%
1.72 BB/Hour or 2.87 BB/100 hands
PFR% = 5.67

I have been thinking that I'm way tight in the blinds, but I'm not real sure. Hopefully you will get lots of replies so we can compare.
