Analysis on my PT stats requested

[player1]

675 $30 STTs

1) all contructive criticism/comments on my play are welcome.

2) any suggestions on which of the opponents PT stats to concentrate on while using GameTime+ or PlayerView?

a respected poster recommended on concentrating on my opponent's VP$P, PFR, and total post flop aggression. he also added "I like previous stats best."

any other recommendations, as it relates to STTs, on which stats to keep an eye on while playing w/ GT+ or PV?

thanks,
jc

I honestly have very few comments on the vast majority of that data as I do not use PT myself. The only numbers that I can comment on are your ROI, ITM, and finishes. You're clearly a winning player. The only thing I noticed is that you have more 2nd and 3rd place finishes which may be a result of being a touch passive when down to 4 and 5 players. It could be simply a result of variance though.

Continued Sucess,

A little tight PF perhaps?
Can you split it out to all blinds under 25/50?
15.6% and 13.6% seems a touch low, especially over all blinds.

Zephyr,

thanks for your time and observations.

i definitely play tighter and less aggressive than i should.

1) is there a consensus on the "ideal" ITM% breakdown?
2) how about for the "ideal" ROI?

thanks,
jc

thanks Unarmed.

i really should work on playing more hands. however, my philosophy is very tight early and more loose/aggressive late in the tourney.

10/15 Blinds
------------
VP$IP = 6.86%
Saw Flop All Hands = 9.79%

15/30 Blinds
------------
VP$IP = 6.97%
Saw Flop All Hands = 10.33%

25/50 Blinds
------------
VP$IP = 10.06%
Saw Flop All Hands = 11.01%


do you focus on any other stats other than the two you mentioned? once PV fully supports STTs and is more stable, i would like to set it up properly as i never used the GT window before.

thanks,
jc

Ive been using Playerview for Ring games and it has been very helpful. I think Playerview will be very useful for all the multi-tablers out there. Getting reads on how tight/loose and aggressive/passive players are is very important. Any tool that can help us with this effort is worth trying. Playerview now supports SnGs. I just started using it. The stats Im using right now are

VP$IP
PFR%
TOTAL AGGRESSION
ATT TO STEAL BLINDS
SB BLIND DEFENSE
BB BLIND DEFENSE

I dont have a good idea on what ranges to use for these. I think we could use our own stats to get a range for winning players. Anyone want to collaborate on this. I think with some effort we could get some good stat ranges for different types of players.

WOW!
That's prtty tight!
Compare your starting hand requirements to the ones listed in the 10+1 FAQ for levels 1-3 and let us know where you differ.

As far as the other stats I don't use them too much. I use PT mostly for calculating my ROI. (haha) Seriously though, I use it for keeping track of my big loss hands and examining which types of hands I'm losing money on where I should be making it. (ie AJ)

Hi player1,

I believe you are checking much too often on the flop after a preflop raise. I tend to lead out with a pot-size flop bet, even if the flop missed me, unless it looks very ugly. The majority of the time you will win the pot right there, especially since you are a tight player and opponents are likely to put you on a premium hand. Check-raising is rarely correct there either, even with a monster. It's better to lead right out (so saith Doyle!).

i only play w/ AK and 10+ in any position. i add a few more hands in late position unraised. i know i needed to start playing more hands, so i added all pairs in late position unraised. i really need to work on this...

1) according to the FAQ, my ROI doesn't even have a category. what's a typical "good" player's ROI at the smaller STTs like the 30s?

2) as far as analysing your individual winning/losing hands, would you consider NOT playing a hand if it's BB/Hand is positive but not big enough?

if i only made say .05 BBs for a particular hand, while it's profitable from a BB perspective, i may not want to play it since busting out means not winning any (additional) prize money.

is there a threshold you look for when deciding it a hand is truely "profitable"? am i making any sense?

thanks,
jc

I think an ROI of 20% is good at the 30's. An ROI of 30% is excellent at the 30's.
