Default Re: About to try SH for the third time, help me out HUSH guru\'s...

Instead of looking for all kinds of stats and figures to aim for, how about aiming for proper play. How about feeling out opponents and thinking about what you think will work against the way they play. Make your own rules. Get your own numbers. You can have all the right numbers in all the right places and still not know wtf you are doing.

The higher limit SH games are just like the lower limits in that you still find good tables, and you still play each hand based on your observations of everyone else. It's just more important now.

I played 1/2 full table forever because I spent my BR. Then I wanted to move up. I flew up from .5/1 (6) to 1/2 (6) to 2/4 to 3/6 (6) to 5/10 (6) and now I have the BR for 10/20 but am waiting a bit. The way I got better was not concentrating on any numbers, although mine do align with tighter TAGs. I don't really pay much attention to them. The way I win at every level is putting myself at tables where I know how to play against the players around me. That's all that poker amounts to at any level.

Totally understandable and thats exactly what I tried to do the first two times. I thought maybe getting some general guidelines on just WTSD% and aggression numbers would help, because I noticed in a few other threads that peoples suggestions differed than my own stats.

Like, my WTSD is 31.18. I feel that most people "suggest" higher. Since just playing hasn't worked so far I thought maybe concentrating and adjusting particular stats, and therefor important parts of my game, would help.

But I see what you are saying and agree 100%...playing and learning >> concentrating on hitting particular stats.

Thanks for your reply,

Jon
