Beginners stats - please comment! Thanks!
 

Hi,

I have started learning hold'em just a few months ago - mainly based on the book "Small Stakes Hold'em" by Miller, etc. After playing with play money for a while I now play for real.

Since I have no orientation whether I am doing fine or not (except a positive development of my bankroll) I'd appreciate your comments on my playing statistics (taken from PokerTracker):
level: $.15/.30
hands: 1,165 (never played multitable)
$won: $55.49
hours: 22.17
BB/hour: 8.34
BB/100: 15.88
VP$IP: 22.83
Avg. Pot: 2.36
AP: 9.0
ASF: 43.12
VP$IP from SB: 39.10
Folded SB to steal: 0
Folded BB to steal: 0
Att. to steal Blinds: 16.67
Won $ WSF: 29.97%
Went to SD: 37.09%
Won $ At SD: 57.60%
PF Raise: 6.44

My winrate is holding steady (+/- 2) at 16 BB/100 for the last 400 hands.

- Is that good or "bad" for that level?
- What would be good? How many hands should I play at a "good" BB/100-level before moving up to .25/.5?
- Any advice for the next level also (good BB/100; hands before moving up)?

I guess that has been asked a thousand times before, but your comments will really help me a lot.

Thanks for your time and Happy New Year!

Read this, play about 9000 more hands, and get back to us.

PS: winrate over 400 hands means absolutely nothing.

looks good. be prepared that your winrate may drop, as you may be running hot. your sample size is really small.

One of the skills you need if you want to continue in poker for the purpose of many a little extra mula is multitabling. I sujest you start playing 2 tables. Your winrate might drop (16BB/100 hands is ridiculas!).

The amount of hands you play will go up and this will allow you to better analize your play. Your stats at this moment seem fine but you have a tiny sample.

If after another 3k hands you are still winning at a decent winrate I sujest you move up. Most people would something like 100k hands at a limit before moving up. It seems you arnt devoting 5 hours a day to poker and that amount seems ridiculas. I personally think you can succesfully move up faster in the micro limits if you are properly bankrolled for the limit you are playing!

One last thing. I personally think the sujested bankroll in the faq's is crazy. 2000BB is super overkill in my opinion.

If you sustain over 3 BB at any limit you're pretty damn good.

Now you can grit your teeth and tell yourself you're running mad hot.

No offense, but this post is horrible and 'ridiculas'.

10K hands a level, not 100K, and it's ususally just a benchmark for stats. 300BB is a the normal suggested roll for a level.

To the OP: learn to mutltitable while the price is cheap.

Good news - that's a great winrate

Bad news - it means nothing with that sample size
