I'm starting to learn to actually use GT+ and all the great stats in poker tracker. Here's an example where I definitely altered my play based on the PT reads.
Both of these guys are off the charts maniacs: 70+ VP$IP, 15-25% raises before flop.
Against a halfway decent player I would have almost certainly folded AT offsuit, but since
1. UltraManiac raised (and had previously capped with garbage several times)
2. Everyone else folded
I figured that I should go over the top and try and isolate UltraManiac. Then things got interesting...
Would appreciate comments on any streets. As well as suggestions on how to better use the wealth of statistical knowledge I have at my disposal.
Thanks!
