Ready to move up?
 

Hey folks, after implementing some of Gigabets tricks I seem to do much better:

No seriously are the 55s much harder than the 33s? It seems I could play much better if I just had more starting chips.
In the 33s I achieved an ROI of 0.55% over 132 tournaments.

Sure insufficient sample size but it is worth to stay at a level that can be beat without any problems for an eternity just to determine ones exact win rate?

It's plays like these that give u a 0.55% ROI.

No thats rather a product of AA losing against 22 and stuff...

So you've never won a showdown you weren't favored to?

Take all the times you won as an underdog out too, if you don't want to count your bad beats.

Re: Ready to move up?
 

i dont think you are ready to move up yet. but if you have the bankroll to move up you should give it a chance. Maybe you can do better with more chips.

Re: Ready to move up?
 

98% of Party players are not laying down AK there.
96% of Party players are not laying down Kx there.
83% of Party players are not laying down Jx there.

Bluffing unbluffable players = bad. You need a specific read on your opponent to be able to do something like this profitably.

"So you've never won a showdown you weren't favored to?

Of course sometimes I win as an underdog too. Most of the time it's when blind stealing and getting caught, or once in hundred games preflop all-in with KK against AA. I don't necessarily complain because I think Sklansky already stated, that good players will get sucked out more often than bad players, because they get there money in with the best of it most of the times.

However my 33 results have been skewed, here 14 Preflop-Allins with AA:

AA against JJ: lost
AA against KJo: lost
AA against JJ: won
AA against J5o: lost
AA against J6o: won
AA against 88: lost
AA against KJs: lost
AA against Q6s: won
AA against JJ : lost
AA against KK: won
AA against K8s: won
AA against 22: lost
AA against 99: won
AA against K9o: lost

Winrate: 42.85%, for AA not very good

It's simply fundamentally wrong to look at your winrate and say "well I had bad beats so it's not really accurate". It's just wrong. And nothing you can say can change the fact that bad beats will happen and you can't say your winrate is lower than you deserve because your AA got cracked a couple times.

Re: Ready to move up?
 

yikes!! the good news is that u can easily fix your play, just dont bluff on level1,2,3 never ever again.

"It's simply fundamentally wrong to look at your winrate and say "well I had bad beats so it's not really accurate". It's just wrong."

Why not? I'm not trying to argue here, I just dont understand it. If AA is supposed to win 70% or 80% of the time and I get only 42% and every time I lose it costs me a whole Buyin isn't it relatively safe to assume that I would have a higher ROI if AA did in fact win 70% of the time?

However one cant change the way the cards fall, thats true.
